Or, more starkly, half the population of the country will control 84 percent of those seats. The other half, with the major urban centers, with have 16 percent of the Senate seats. The graphics are very good.

The Senate becomes a barrier to anything remotely progressive.

I trust a good bit of this will be fixed by envy and some political "keeping up with the Joneses." As certain states enact progressive policies, they will attract people from other states and cause people in less progressive states to demand progressive policies.
As they have globally, borders of states will also matter less.
