I'll go one step further--the combo of low-paid leadership and ultra-high billionaire moguls all but demands corruption to occur.
people hate hearing this but it's 100% true, creating a huge pay gap between political leaders, their staffs, and other elites is a recipe for corruption. of course the flip side of that is taxes on the rich should be jacked way the hell up
The Mayor of New York only makes $260k. I bet there are police that make more than that in NY with overtime.
We need to pay elected leaders more money and stop pretending it's some sort of calling. They're managing hundreds of billions of dollars in investments and millions of people's lives.

New TV show idea: Christine and Christine: a female Highlander and her evil immortal car find love and beheadings while wandering the American west. Possibly chased by an evil semi driven by this generation's Hasselhoff with a goatee. They keep dying but coming back

Ttrpgs are a great hobby.
They also take up too much time, require too many schedules to mesh, require everyone to borrow/buy rules, and getting new players means getting people to act in a public setting which I remind you people fear that more than death itself.
Great hobby though.

TTRPG Question of the Day
What do you think keeps more people from playing TTRPGs?
It's be said that TTRPGs are in the spotlight more than ever before. They're referenced frequently in shows. There are movies & TV series based on them. Some have become video games. So why don't more people play?

I don't know if there's an afterlife. I don't believe in Hell. I'd like to think that at the moment of transition, you get one moment of seeing just how much pain and anguish and joy and love you caused in your life without any deflection.

For Cheney, that might be Hell.
