Well, if it's "from above" the correct play is: yessir i am a $patriot please increase my $compensation to one befitting a fellow holder of correct opinions

Not always. We’ve seen a generation choose the door instead.

Not many, be honest. Most of us need an income.

I was referring to The Great Resignation (tm) but yes, you are correct, leave one place to roll the dice someplace else. It’s not greener, just different shades of dead and patches, with or without proper gardening tools.

Interesting, this might explain something someone started to talk to me about recently & I was just kinda like whatever - he’s not trump nor half as senile or incompetent as what conservatives make him out to be.

At this point I’d love a bill introducing max terms. Term limits. You can get re-elected but only so many times before you’re done. Do away with salaries for life “as compensation for your service”. They don’t need it if they are pulling in millions from enterprises, endorsements, book deals, merch, speaking fees in excess of $50,000.

Senate, you get 4 max terms. Reps, you get 6. SCOTUS, 4 and term limits of 6 years per term. Something to fix this professional career politicians we see like McConnell, Biden, Kennedy, Cruz, etc. The world moves too fast for one lifetime spent legislatively eliminating rights of people or bringing back “the good ol days”.
