They make $300k…
Personally that seems woefully underpaid if ostensibly they are supposed to be the top couple legal minds in the country and opens them up to all sorts of corruption. Personally I think paying them like 2 million with super strict ethics rules that they can’t even accept a Christmas gift from their cousin would be the way to go.

Bruh have you seen what bidenflation has done to first class tix to the Maldives?
Let me check
Clarence ticket cost in 2000: $0
Clarence ticket cost in 2024: $0
And shit dude has access to so much streaming porn, he’s no longer paying $100/month to the local video store back room.
If anyone is unaffected by Bidenflation….

The justices can legally accept millions in bribes, of course they’re not underpaid, Thomas’s salary should be $0.
Following up on
Chait wrote an article based on this premise and shield your fucking eyes:
The argument for disqualification is quite simple. The Constitution bars officeholders who engaged in insurrection; on January 6, 2021, Trump engaged in insurrection; therefore, Trump is ineligible to hold office.
The weak point in this argument is the finding that Trump’s behavior constitutes “insurrection.” This is a defensible shorthand for January 6, one I’ve used frequently myself. But it’s not the most precise term. When I have the chance to use a longer description, I generally say that Trump attempted to secure an unelected second term in office.
Not to mention the entire point of the article is to throw out the legal concerns for the political (subheading: “The political case against Colorado’s legal ruling”); it is expressly a request that we not be equal under the law, if a politician is popular maybe they should get to do some crimes.
Chait is one of America’s greatest liberal hack morons.

Reid Epstein is still writing stories about Hillary’s emails in the year of our lord 2023
And he’s wondering, “why are people still talking about hillary’s emails” just negative levels of self awareness
Hyperloop was an obvious scam since day 1 and the business press did nothing but fluff Elon’s dick.

apparently just saying I’m a billionaire means I’m “damn close” to being one.

Pretty rowdy stuff form the NYT, MSNBC, and others just blindly ran with a Mark Rufo hitpiece.
If there’s tangible proof of the harm nepotism and privileged kids in general hogging all the fun/prestigious jobs more convincing than the state of capital J journalism in 2023 please don’t show me I don’t need to know.
Journalism is a perfect storm for it because it pays like shit but still has prestige. Like of course a bunch of nepo baby dipshits are all over Wall Street but there’s enough money in it for people who are genuinely talented they flood the labor pool. Absolutely no sane person is gonna spend like 300k on undergrad, another 200k on an lol Columbia Journalism grad program then make $60k in NYC or Washington other than a trust fund baby.
Absolutely nuts that not a single outlet bothered to check into this at all. Michael Hobbes is just some dipshit podcaster and he’s routinely blowing up mainstream stories like this and the shoplifting moral panic.
