Yes, that's how it's supposed to be.
People in my country complain that parliament gets paid way too much, but it's 1) indexed to the mean (or maybe it was the median, I forgot) and 2) meant to be high so that they can comfortably live life without taking any bribes, while also having a long-ass commute for anyone who didn't already reside in the capital.
Prove it how? They democratically elected Trump. If they were to go against it, that would be the second amendment destroying democracy.
They've chosen Trump fair and square.
It would help your point if you told us what these virtual spaces being bulldozed are.
you get European paychecks with the European taxing system
You lost me there, sorry. That's the worst way to live in the US.
Software engineers in the US make like 5x what they do in most of Europe. For that money you can get pretty good health insurance too.
If you're working for an European salary in the US, what's the point even.
That alone can't be it, I'm a man-child and I'd never vote for him if I had a say in this election.
It's the fact that he promises easy solutions to everything. What are the solutions? Well that doesn't matter, he promised he'll deal with all the problems, that's enough.
productivity increase will pay for that over the next month or so

Even so, the US president holds reach over his livelihood in NYC as well as his job in an American company.
No, I’m talking out of his.
Did we watch the same video?
He says that yes, EU isn't perfect, but Britain would be absolutely crazy stupid to leave. He says it multiple times, in different ways, but the point remains.
It's like a YouTuber apology. "Oh I done fucked up, I am so sowwy" while sitting on a cozy couch in a multi-million-dollar home
When COVID hit, the management team at the company I worked for, took temporarily salary hits. The rest of us were told our quarterly bonuses would be frozen. Nobody would be laid off unless it's an emergency.
Company pivoted in just a few months thanks to smart executive decisions and hard working engineers. The quarterly bonuses were paid out anyway. Nobody was laid off. We saved a bunch of our B2B customers' livelihoods by offering solutions that helped them continue operate during lockdowns (and our company's income was directly dependent on THEIR income - if they suffered, we suffered, if they prospered, we prospered). Of course, the CEO was also the founder of the company and at that point, there had been no investors or anyone involved. It was truly a family-run company that had made it big.
THAT is accountability. Doing whatever you can to keep your staff employed and your customers happy.
That company has since enshittified because of management changes and I've left for greener pastures, but if I'm ever in charge of my own company and the financials look bleak, I'll take the hit myself. It's easier to replace money than it is to replace good, hard working people. And good people will help you pivot if your business model is no longer working out.
Celebrating their victory, where else?
