  @paulg @levie $170K for a lot of those lowlifes is good money + lots of perks + autonomy day to day. It's a pretty sweet gig.

  @paulg @levie You shouldn't give them power, that could prevent future changes. Decentralized systems work better (hard to achieve)

  @paulg Any power job attracts two types. Those who want a position (to serve oneself) and those who want a position to do something of value
