gollark: Yes. That.

gollark: What now?

gollark: Paying them a lot is actually somewhat good in that it hopefully attracts better people, and makes them less likely to take money from others.

gollark: > If they're fit to rule they will survive.I mean, kind of? If you randomly remove governments *somehow* when they run into some kind of issue, I figure you would introduce far more problems.

gollark: That would probably be bad. Governments do important things. Sometimes.
