A very radical approach to address regulatory capture would be to restructure our legislator with sortition. Sortition is the forming of legislative bodies through random selection. Apparently, it's growing popular in Australia, where the ranked choice voting reforms have had little effect, aftering being around for decades.

While similar to jury selection, you would not have voir dire (jury packing), service would be optional, and it would be competitively compensated. Terry Bouricius is writing a book about it, here: https://democracycreative.substack.com/p/the-trouble-with-elections
