@JonErlichman We stand on that which was built before we came and add to it our own innovations and personal touch for the next generations to stand upon and continue conceiving and building the next layer of our civilization. This process is unique to humanity.
@elonmusk The pay has not increased since 2009. This increase does not even account for lost buying power. Congress will still be making effectively less than in 2009. Increasing salaries with inflation would have them at $260,000 today. Stop acting like you are not as smart as you are.
@elonmusk I would argue our elected representatives are the most fundamentally important part of our federal republic and those who actually seek to serve constituents deserve adequate compensation so that they are able to do their jobs without relying on corruption to pay their bills.
@elonmusk Maybe we should have Congress be on a volunteer basis so that only the independently wealthy and the openly corrupt will be able to hold the positions. The percentage of federal spending that goes towards paying the national congress is negligible. Find somewhere else to cut.
Sending my best wishes to the Kurds. Their resistance and passion are inspiring and I am hoping they will be respected and dignified in their treatment by the new government. Their ideology and commitment to the protection and equality of women are a light in the region.
