if their greed gets in the way of their job performance they're gone and replaced with someone better

by whom?

another candidate

basically a country hiring for the best available instead of settling for scraps from the private sector

if you want people who care more about the country than getting reelected it seems to me not paying them and seeing who still steps forward is a good way for that

and as long as they show results they'll get reelected, all of a sudden their concern shifts from keeping power to providing results

how so?

you think you'll get competent people running?

hells no

they'll be making bank for themselves in the private sector

instead you'll get only people who want to push for their own agendas seeking out those roles

you talk about bribes and stuff, but if you have no idea on which comitees you will sit and which bribes will be offered to you you wouldnt go into it planning to make money. You would need to spend a lot of money. Who do you think would be willing to do that.

politicians push to get on committees

After they made bank in the private sector and retire they run for office

they know which ones they're going for

so you get a bunch of washed up hasbeens running your country?

and you assume they won't just retire on an island somewhere?

you're just limiting the pool of talent

why are people who were on top of the private sector a few months ago has beens?

because they're no longer in the private sector

they know they're has beens why else would they retire?

but they just were and they have much more expirience than some "smart" 20 year old

who said 20 year old?
can people run for office that young?

because you retire when you have a certain age.. most people dont work until they are senile

I'm saying why limit your talent pool only to retirees, why not hire someone at their peak

?

they have more experience than a smart 30 year old too

experience is no substitute for talent or ambition

hire the best of the best because you can

Im saying limiting the pool to rather wealthy older people.

instead of hoping you'll get someone good after they retire from their real jobs

and also why only wealthy people?

they're not exactly experienced with issues the poor deal with

you were just talking about hiring the best

🤔

and doing it by offering loads of cash to compete with private sector wages

they'd get wealthy in the job

by being good at it

you dont need high wages for people in the government to compete with the wages of poor people

"they're not exactly experienced with issues the poor deal with" do you also need black people because white people dont know what black people del with

i'd much rather someone ambitious with something to prove than someone who's going to use the position as a tool
