Not if it's open-source (or at least, harder to game).

All you gotta do is co-opt the "Read the Bills Act" with a requirement to video-record the congress-person reading the bill (as that becomes their affidavit). Make that open-source, and then it just starts bleeding out. Auto-upload that to an app where people could get speech-to-text transcription / notifications / annotate sections / review past laws being read by past congress-people / etc. From there, ensure all bills can be edited in a central and private repositories (probs git, erryone likes git, though svn treats me well), so that all final bills can have all individual contributions clearly marked/annotated automatically. Oh look, auto-matching bill-text with campaign contributions :-P. Code is law. Patch the corruption.



If automation can take away Joe Factory Workers' job it could take away his managers job as well.

And even more important it could take away his governments job. I mean.. how much worse could it do?
