You can really tell they give no fucks about even appearing human anymore, and are counting exclusively on gerrymandering and voter supressing their way back to power.

Thatâs a great way to get only people you donât want there to run for congress.

It was more of a random thought than a serious policy proposal. However, letâs say min wage was $15/hr, that would mean a 4x multiple would be $60/hr or around $120k/yr. Iâm curious as to how that would cause only people you donât want there to run for congress? I guess Iâm thinking of the cool community activists I know that are all making less than that, and Iâd love for them to be in congress rather than the people who currently are.
If 120k is their ceiling for maybe decades then you will have primarily independently wealthy people running for congress (and nutjobs).
I guess I have quite a few people in mind who currently make less than $120k who would be huuuuuge upgrades over the current congress members. Plus they could double the cap on their future annual earnings by doubling the minimum wage.
Whatâs keeping them from running now?
Well then⌠Iâd like to meet this model

Various structural, systemic, and personal reasons present obstacles to them running for office. There is far more corrective action needed to improve upon the status quo. My idea is basically a riff on proposals that Iâve seen that tie CEO pay to that of the lowest paid employee.
This is already the case.

Seems to be glossing over something:
Itâs especially weird because they declassified the report saying he was responsible for Khashoggi today.

Yeah this is silly. They have total control over this.
And you are right, they wonât do anything but put their hands in their pockets, kick a rock and say âAww shucks we triedâ.

Well I bet Manchin might vote no on reconciliation if they fired them, but that is just a hunch.
I still remember not that long ago how this was a non issue because the parliamentarian literally worked for them.

Itâs DOA, they donât have the votes to sustain even if VP overrules. I get it. Just really really sucks. This is 32 million people. So shameful and infuriating.
