If more people were directly invested in laws favoring their means and ends, would they take the time to lobby too?

Folks certainly outnumber corporations (?), and they could create representatives for their interests.

Maybe the end-to-end process--from idea to law--is less familiar to most. Try explaining how a feature gets into production to a layperson, for example :)

Maybe we need more "skeletal deployments" in action, many dry runs, accreted over time, to enough folks. This could be done virtually and repeated many times before even going there.

Just seems like a lot of work, too.
