Come on, we're trying to have a productive discussion here. There's no need to just drop in and insult clowns.

To be fair, clowning around is a lot more tractable than homelessness, housing prices, health care, or immigration.

Hear.

Just keep getting reelected, since no one expects you to accomplish anything. People in the rest of the country push "term limits" as the solution to everything. I always point out that we've had them in CA for 20 years. It just means that they run for a different office after they're termed out.

Or become lobbyists.

We should do the same thing in software engineering. After 4 years in web dev, you have to switch to something else like embedded systems or DBA. Or be forced to become a highly paid consultant.
