They're also in geographically low population areas so counting them and the people employeed in their towns they have a significant sway on some states and the Senate skews things towards low population states through it's inequitable representation AND the outsized power Senate rules give individual Senators.
Plus it's made a few people EXTREMELY rich so they've made their opinions and interests everyone elses problem too.
Every once in a while someone in the Netherlands argues for the district system and they are immediately shut down with "America".
One man one vote. And yes the regions that contribute more to the economy are a priority. They fund everything including the military without which we'd still be a part of Spain.
Yeah I get the idea originally, you had to appease the slave and smaller states to get them to join the plan originally at all, but there's a very, very good reason wherever the US has had the chance to design a new government we have never saddled them with our system. I don't think there's a reasonable hope that it'll get reformed in a clean way though.
If people really cared about coal miners then they could be offered a $1 million redundancy package. It would amount to a tiny fraction of government spending and I'm pretty sure it would be welcomed.
Probably though, like the buses, there's an order of magnitude more work done on the "back end". The machines, logistics, etc etc and everything else that depends on the industry. In the bus drivers example, it could be all the people in NYC who need to take a bus to get to work and would be affected by the sudden disappearance of buses. So it is with many industries.
If ICE arrested you, would it be fair for them to deport you before you were able to present evidence that you're a citizen?
Due process doesn't mean a full trial. At its most fundamental level, it simply means having a fair process. Of course there's a whole set of case law behind determining what is fair, and a lot of that depends on the type and severity of the case.
But what happens if all that fairness and case law is ignored? Without due process (such as a hearing with a judge), how do you prove you're a citizen? Who do you even present your evidence to? How can you even gather your evidence if you're locked away in a cell?
When people argue for due process (which is a constitutional right), this is what they're arguing for. They're arguing that a single government employee should not be able to deport them without a fair process. Which is a constitutional right for all people (not just citizens), per the 14th amendment.
We're hiring front-end, full-stack, and back-end developers of all experience levels to work on our two flagship products, HelloSign and HelloWorks. Our mission is to reduce the friction associated with contracts and complex document workflows.
HelloSign is built with Symfony PHP and HelloWorks is built in Elixir. Both primarily leverage React on the front-end.
Our typical hiring process is quick, involving a phone screen and one on-site interview.

Are you using DynamoDB Streams at all? I've been toying the idea of using DynamoDB as an event store and having other services listen to a table's stream, allowing them to update caches/views (the read-side of CQRS), report analytics, perform asynchronous tasks, etc.
