Only issue is we’re supposed to be their boss. Americans elect representatives to do the job of representing us. If they don’t do their job they shouldn’t be paid, and overall public support for representatives is incredibly low because of the behavior you’re advocating to pay them off in order to avoid doing.
Not sure where you work but if I stopped doing my job I’d expect a firing, not a raise.
To solve both problems the public needs to scrutinize the shit out of their elected officials and be more willing to throw them to the side when they stop being useful, like corporations do to us all the time.
Yeah I see what you’re getting at, but not a fan of rewarding bad behavior which is really all throwing money at establishment politicians will ever do.
Well if your dogshit country actually had a spine and three braincells to knock together, maybe. Ya’ll literally couldn’t even keep the most obvious fascist of all time out of office after he failed so bad the first time. As a country you deserve this and to the people who still did their best I’m sorry they have to deal with this.
Look Canada isn’t much better, we vote for garbage(or don’t show up to vote for better) and we get garbage. These people don’t hide who they are, they absolutely represent the population both directly and indirectly.
Trust me I’m well aware of the failings of my country. That doesn’t mean I can’t recognize one of them or that you have to remind me of their existence when I do.
You said that they don’t represent the people, I was correcting you. Neither of us enjoy the fact that they represent an unfortunate number of people, but they do.
What this also means is that they can be removed if enough people stop fucking voting for them. They are not kings, not yet anyway.

If one employee sucks fire them. If all your employees suck maybe you should do something to attract better talent.

In other words, I get it but you’re not helping.
