> How do I get a job within the EU Commission that will give me the opportunity to make millions for myself?

Simple! Be born into the wealthy elite or have very close ties to them (entrenched old money families) giving you access to enough funds, connections in the party and media, to campaign, advertise, win elections, and brush off all accusations of corruption and cronyism that could stick to you, while lying your way to the top by telling the rabble everything they want to hear (affordable housing, healthcare and education, lower corruption and taxes, higher wages and pensions, etc.) and once you're at the top, do none of those things and instead scratch the backs of those who helped you get there by giving them various tax breaks, lucrative government contracts, bail out their industries/companies, etc., and blaming external factors for making things worse for those who voted for you (Covid, Putin, China, immigrants, scalpers, terrorists, the boogieman, etc.).
