Perhaps this is why journalists are so hung up on pay: the lowest-paying jobs in America right now (religious leader; journalist; teacher; paramedic). Link here.
Let's talk money.
Some people are making a stink that Joe Biden is going to get an annual pension of $500,000.
Are you kidding me?
What is the average MLB pitcher making on an annual basis?

What did Warren Buffett get paid on annual basis? $100,000. He owned five homes; lived in two. Speaking of homes, link here.
Larry Ellison (Oracle) is widely known as an avid trophy home buyer. In 2022, he paid about $173 million for an estate in Manalapan, Florida, that had previously been owned by tech entrepreneur Jim Clark.
He also has extensive holdings in Malibu, California, and on the Hawaiian island of Lanai, among other places. In recent years, Ellison was rarely in residence at his San Francisco home, Traina said. “Larry was a perfect neighbor,” he said. “His house is beautifully maintained and rarely used. Even so it’s a loss for the block.”
What will Warren Buffett's successor get paid? $25 million. Annually.
President Biden? $400, 000 after 30+ years in public services. One home and the beach.
