Garioshi 08/15/20 9:48:14 AM #2:	It's their job, they should earn enough not to be corrupted by outside money. If they earned less, the job would be relegated to people who can afford to go 2-6 years with minimal income. --- "I play with myself" - Darklit_Minuet, 2018 <cite>Garioshi posted [p:943409625] in Should mem...

If they earned less, the job would be relegated to people who can afford to go 2-6 years with minimal income. There's a whole lot of gray area between minimal income and $174k.
