How making $300,000 in San Francisco can still mean you're living paycheck-to-paycheck - https://www.sfgate.com/local/article/How-making-300-000-in-San-Francisco-can-still-16679396.php

The struggle is real. Yes, our government is out of control, but things are getting crazy everywhere. Just remember that the money isn't real, and some huge percentage of all money has just been printed in the last year. This can't last.

I don't mind their well cut pay. The problem is their corruption and their pay for play profits running their side hustles. Six figures is good pay for honest work. Though it is pittance compared to their actual profits as that most of which do not choose to work for the people, and have duel loyalties.

Unfortunately, this is the norm in many parts of the world: The government appoints its supporters as government officials, so they can have a comfortable living doing basically nothing while the rest of the people strive to get through the month and pay the extravagant taxes that feed the government officials.

Government officials are rewarded to perpetuate an ideology. An ideology easily destroyed by truth when sheeple stop believing their lying eyes.
