    We can tie it to the median wage without fixating on that exact multiplier they can also consider ways to raise the median wage…

      Fastest way to raise the median wage is to kick out the poor and stop all social housing projects, turn everything expensive and boooom, median wage goes up. I think that’s a perverse incentive and is actually hurting representatives that take good care of poor people, who, because of that, move to the district. It’s also a glaring loophole.

      No if we’re gone tie pay to performance, we need better tools to evaluate performance.

        The poor overwhelmingly do things that need to be done and often these physical tasks unlike office jobs are the least automatable. Few people by percentage live in any sort of social housing and there is no short term way to toss every poor person onto the street while not also ruining most of the rich people.

        This is really an imaginary problem.
