Well the profession is “lawyer” regardless of judge or not.

In the private sector, the average for a well seasoned lawyer can get up to $200k, but for the top few it can easily hit 500k.

I would assume that “supreme court justices” you would want among the “best” so I’d target that.

Yeah I get that. I suppose a clearer statement would be “pay extra so that we attract the quality of person that doesn’t accept bribes”

It should be better than the industry average by a fair margin due to the gravity, personal risk and other such things that come with the job.

As we have recently discovered with Donald Trump, the checks and balances are only as good as the people willing to enforce them.

A government is made of regular people, though notably ungoverned

It’s not that simple. Better people can just know that they’re more valuable elsewhere and leave. Then the only people you have left are the dirt at the bottom of the bag that are willing to sell out.

I don’t know, I can see the value in paying them more, give the gravity of what they deal with….

Otherwise they might be open to bribery 😝

Oh man I miss Apollo.

No, But there’s BIG money in AI astroturfing for elections.

And all of these laws are disingenuous, wrapped in classic “won’t someone please think of the children”

Simpsons did it best….

…. Won’t someone pleeeease think of the children!

Tale as old as time (yes I know your answer was /sarcastic)

Bingo.

Maybe you need to get out more 😝

I don’t personally believe in it, but I also don’t care if you do.

Agreed, or just a minimum amount of time that stocks can be owned to kill the high-frequency traders.

Many reasonable people believe all sorts of nutty shit.

Until it becomes actively harmful, I don’t care much.

My side? lol you’re assuming a lot, you don’t know my side, you just know the I think rogan is an asshat.

He’s got a big platform and he’s allowing the promotion of some fairly harmful content….. that in itself seems like a problem, no?

I definitely believe that he just “doesn’t like to be told what to do”, that’s entirely his vibe.

I’m curious what you mean by “progressives trying to live out other peoples lives”

I would vote for x over y is an endorsement.

It’s actually higher in many scenarios.

What needs to be taxed like income is loans against the stocks

Ok, I’ll bite, you don’t believe he’s changed?

Or you think he’s still very reasonable?

Make your case

Each event should be judged on its own merits. They can each have different causes.

That being said, our “isolated western society” which is creating more people disconnected from everyone, likely yields clues to why it seems to be growing.

I mean that’s beautifully put…..

But unfortunately it’s simpler than that. It’s the story of a reasonable man that achieved beyond his dreams and then flipped sides because of money and status.

“Suddenly I have an opinion on the capital gains tax.” Type of stuff.
