Demographic evolution

gollark: It would probably be good if there was some mechanism for punishing politicians who spend money on things which turned out to be bad/stupid/pointless. Although someone would have to evaluate bad/stupid/pointlessness somehow.

gollark: They're still very happy to randomly spend money because the incentives to spend it on useful things are lacking.

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.
