  It applies to staffers too. A lot of staffers are already making only $60k. In DC, you need 3-4 roommates to afford rent on that salary. Also, these are people with law degrees.

  Guess what happens when they get a job offer from a lobbying firm offering $400k? Suddenly those principles are negotiable.

  I disagree. Low salaries in congress is exactly the kind of thing that gives lobbyists power.

  Poor staffers and low paid representatives are more likely to become lobbyists themselves or to take bribes. Congresspeople should be given an ultimatum, they can only serve in congress if they agree to never make income from any other source ever again in their lives… even after one term. In return, they’re guaranteed a modest pension starting when they leave that pays 80% of their current salary, increasing with inflation. They can not trade stocks, accept gifts, or own any form of property except a single residence.

  If you want to serve the people, you can only serve the people and not yourself. Congresspeople should be truly selfless individuals.

  Yeah, it should now be even higher than $25.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minimum wage isn't survivable anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  By the time most places had $15, it should’ve been $25

  What basis constitutionally? Congress never allocated money for it

  Jumped ship to Android? Google Maps that already has ads too?

  It becomes very worth it if you have a family. Everyone gets access to all services. People won’t use everything, but every one will use something. Your wife and daughter might use Fitness and Music, while your son uses Arcade and Apple TV+. You might use News and a mix of everything. Everyone uses iCloud back up and private relay.
