Yeah a lot of politicians just view this as a small part of their career where they do a little bit of superficial work, buildup connections with businness people and politicians from other countries and then fuck off to get a sweet management or supervisory board position, or they use their experiences and connections to become consultants and cash in millions.
They don’t give a single fuck about the quality of their work or how well the general population likes them. As long as the people around them i their little bubble keep them save and give them more career opportunities, they are satisfied.
They probably have Nate Silver brain. In the 230 years since the constitution was ratified it has been overthrown zero times, so there is a zero percent chance that there's anything to worry about.

Depending on who you ask, it's been overthrown several times - the Civil War, the Federal Reserve, the New Deal, and the Civil Rights Movement all fundamentally changed the model of Jeffersonian aristocracy our founders originally envisioned.
It's all fun and games until the crusty dirt-covered peasants break out the pitchforks and torches.
Then it's a fun game of hide and seek tag where you only got one chance to play, no takesies backsies
I legit don't get this shit. There's no long term thinking here.
If they do this then they can stave off a violent revolution for another 20 years or so.
If you don't give people the means to buy food then they ARE going to kill and eat you.

Uh, I mean if the 20 year olds on this site live to be 80 something will definitely happen. With climate collapse and all.

That’s where the absurdly high military and police budgets come in.

Their calculus seems to be contrary to this. It is, in fact, all a game to them.

2000 dollars will stave off revolution for 20 years?
No, but a $15/hr min wage would.

Yeah that's probably true, but doubling people's incomes is still a really good way of turning them into comfortable libs.
A minimum wage does not need to apply to most areas though. I expect cities and many states to go higher than that if the federal min is $15
I highly doubt it.
the masses will just kill and canabalize themselves. the american ideology is an illness.

half the anger being directed to them is from the chuds. we're a tiny minority of people who have our heads screwed on straight.

I don't think min-wage is going to stop another Q-revolt.
