The vast majority of American politicians are notoriously out of touch with and unresponsive to the population at large*. A decade is a FAST turnaround for them to do anything about a huge systemic problem that primarily hurts workers rather than the ultra-rich and their corporations.

*unless it's about bigotry and other aspects of jingoism. In those cases, they're often AHEAD of the population by inventing the issues themselves

Wasting people's time with these (and potentially sense of hope as well) absolutely should be criminal.

Needs to have fines starting at 200% of the advertised max annual salary plus interest, rising to 1000% based on willfulness or repeated offenses. That will help send a message
