“I marvel at all the nonsense that has been written about me in the last year,” he said. “At a certain point I’ve said to myself, nobody else is going to do this, so I have to defend myself.”
What a child. It’s a lifetime appointment, jackass- the whole point is you don’t have to worry about being popular.
This asshole wants it both ways- to be ‘above’ politics in terms of accountability but still reap the rewards of ingratiating himself with the political donor class.
Need to start demanding radical financial transparency and limits for anyone that wants this kind of power. Like you get $250K/yr for the rest of your life, but any income over that amount goes straight back in taxes. All spending publicly audited for the rest of their life. Holding public power should come with a sacrifice. Saying you can ‘only’ make $250K/yr forever to be able to make decisions that effect millions for decades just doesn’t seem like an unreasonable ask to me.
