He’s not alone: AOC and others have argued lawmakers should be paid more in order to protect against corruption and make the job more accessible.

    We run into the same issue with university professors. Especially with studies like economics, engineering or IT.

      University professors don’t dictate national policy.

        That’s not what they implied… And heck, they are the ones who teach the people who will eventually dictate national policies!

          Seeing what supposedly educated politicians are saying, I have a doubt they attended a single class.

          Bold of you to assume politicians are getting STEM degrees. Most don’t even understand the basics of computer networking.

            Original text I replied to:

            Now let’s simply it for you:

            It's an issue with ALL professors and especially the ones in economics, engineering and IT.

            What’s funny is that there’s plenty of politicians that study economics so that’s one field out of three that were mentioned, and the vast majority of politicians go to university so that’s covered in the first part.
