Funny and painfully ubiquitous. Probably really well-paid monkey astrologers too.

- stjohnswarts 4y agogovernments write their own checks and set their own pay rate. You can bet they are quite rich.
- dr_dshiv 4y agoActually, that’d be great. The most likely reason it got banned is because of corruption. One reason for corruption is that politicians aren’t paid well. What smart competent sane person would rationally choose to be a politician? Maybe if it paid competitively. I wonder if there is a study on the ROI?
- UberFly 4y agoThe tree-pruners in the major city near me make 150k a year. I'm guessing that's pocket change to those wacky astrologers. Didn't really mention anything about politicians.
- hellotomyrars 4y agoWhat a wild idea. Corporations and wealthy people are also corrupt. It turns out that it is a lack of morals. Or in many cases a complete dismissal of them for the pursuit of profit.
- lokedhs 4y agoMost people's morals can be bought, it's just a matter of cost. Increasing salaries for government employees increases the barrier to entry for corruption. Whether or not a typical state can actually afford it is a completely different issue altogether.
- UberFly 4y agoThe poor politicians got together and plotted against VLC. Now it's all making sense.
