80+ hour weeks???? They just want actual slaves.

I bet you the position pays 60-70k or something equally laughable when compared to the 80 hour a week price tag.

People will just see 60-70k and thing that's great while they have to work what is essentially two jobs. So a realistic salary is 30-35k.

Edit: maybe not so great if looking at average salary lol what the fuck

In a different tweet he said it is unpaid

Also this isn't an official government department unless congress makes it one

The real salary is the bribes we made along the way
