The old saying " when you pay peanuts you get monkeys " implies that if you pay low wages you will get low quality work. If you pay more, you will get a better bang for your buck.
It is interesting if applied to Politicians. These days, it doesn't seem to ring true as, around the world, we pay huge amounts of money to Politicians and seemingly still get monkeys.

Chris Wallace calling Joe Biden " Vice President" was an indicator of how the debate would go.
The VICE PRESIDENT? He is not the Vice President Mr Wallace!
Chris Wallace has already lost control of the debate Or has he? Has he simply told us that it is a debate between Trump and two opponents? Wallace and Biden. Is he letting Trump know that he faces the Demoncraps and the media... I think he just did.
Read more: THE DEBATE - Biden is NOT the Vice President. The auditions.
The world according to MSM is agog and aghast at the " news " that is being reported that President Trump paid just $750 in tax in 2016 and 2017... so I went looking and found this interesting thread on twitter.
Finally something and someone who makes sense.
I don't know about you, but I am getting sick and tired of the media deliberately lying in order to create mischief.
I bring you this thread in the hopes that it makes more sense than the rubbish that the demoncraps and the left wing media are pushing. Make of it what you will.
• If a dude pretends to be a woman, we’re required to pretend with him.
• It’s un-American for the census to count how many Americans are in America.
• Russians influencing our elections are bad, but illegal Mexicans voting in our elections are good.
• It was cool for Joe Biden to blackmail the president of Ukraine, but it’s an impeachable offense if Donald Trump inquires about it.

Daylight Saving – the dumbest idea since the invention of dehydrated water.
What an idiotic and stupid concept: Turn the clocks back one hour and your miraculously save daylight? Well, no, you don’t. It is still daylight for exactly the same amount of time and it is still dark for precisely the same amount of time as it would have been before you changed the clock. So what are we actually “ saving “?
Daylight saving is like Jetlag on steroids. It messes up our natural body clocks and is as confusing to our bodies as an appointment with a gender therapist who votes democRAT….
One of the most important things we have in this world is our Freedom to speak our minds. To articulate our opinions and to robustly debate contrary points of view.
The art of debating is probably one of the greatest examples of free speech at work. In fact, in a debate, opposing points " arguments " are put forward to argue for opposing viewpoints. " It is a formal type of discussion, often with a moderator and an audience, in addition to the debate participants. "
Ancient Greece was probably the first place that a debate was held so it is fair to say that it is a very long held tradition that gained great favour in the 18th Century in our " modern " world.
In this sense, the ability to debate is one of the most important corner stones of our lives. It should be taught in every school in every Nation throughout our world.
Having an opinion and being free to express it is fundamental to our personal liberty. I am all for it.
Sometimes, it is only with hindsight that we can see what has been before our eyes - only we didn't even know it was there. The warning signs have been with us for years.
All around the world, the War on Humanity and Trump has been stepping up. It is now at fever pitch. I read this on twitter today and I wanted to share it with you. The battle lines have been drawn and we need to stand firm with one of the few Leaders prepared to stand with us.
Donald J Trump, President of the United States of America has more courage than our weak kneed sychophantic puppets across the globe combined.
Here is one person's story of an event from 3 years ago when many people should have read the warning signs.
This story tells me that President Trump has more support than the media and opposition would like and that they are prepared to do anything to get rid of him.
Whatever it takes.
And they have been planning it since his inauguration.
Monty, Patriotrealm.
Such is the world of 2020 where I feel I am living in the Twilight Zone.
In fact, America has its' fair share of strange places where the zombies come out and burn down cities and shine giant laser beams on houses and stand around outside banging bones together and chanting " Death, Death Death " until, when the sun rises, they stagger off to the underworld from which they came.
Has Daniel Andrews sold out Victoria to the Strong Cities Network ( SCN ) with privatised Police?
Queen Victoria would hate what has been done to the State that bears her name. Lord Melbourne would be fuming that the city that bears his name has been turned into a ghetto.
For a ghetto it is.
“ When a population is confined in a section of a city, especially a thickly populated slum area, inhabited predominantly by members of an ethnic or other minority group, often as a result of social pressures or economic hardships.”
So said CS Lewis, author of such works as The Chronicles of Narnia. In his A Reply to Professor Haldane Lewis he said
" Every tyrant must begin by claiming to have what his victims respect and to give what they want. The worst of all public dangers is the committee of public safety.
I must, of course, admit that the actual state of affairs may sometimes be so bad that a man is tempted to risk change even by revolutionary methods; to say that desperate diseases require desperate remedies and that necessity knows no law. But to yield to this temptation is, I think, fatal. It is under that pretext that every abomination enters. Hitler, the Machiavellian Prince, the Inquisition, the Witch Doctor, all claimed to be necessary. "
