There seems to be no end to demand for more! Power, money, social status, etc. I guess my question is, 'how much is enough'? Most Alaskan's could live very well on $400,000 annual salary. How does it ever come to the point of needing more when what you have is far and above most anyone else? A comment below mentioned that there are intelligent people that would love to give that position a shot and could do as well or better. No one person, no matter how good at their job, is not expendable. Loyalty does count for a lot. Look at our legislators, they are loyal to a fault, at least to their party, not their constituents.
