If I'm in Iceland. The last fricking thing I'd be worried about is sports TV. Your wife will probably be swept off her feet by a Nordic alfa male!

Paid Agitators / Activist

I knew it was a thing. I didn't think Google would let me dive deep into it though. These people are scum of the earth.....not car sales people. This is nuts!!!!!

From Google:
Reported "Crowd-for-Hire" Rates (Non-Violent)
Publicity firms like Crowds on Demand provide paid participants for various events, including rallies. However, these services are marketed as legal and peaceful. Reported rates for these types of services as of 2025/2026 include:
On-street turnout: Typically $100 to $300 per participant.
Hourly wages: Some advertisements for actors to participate in rallies have cited $25+ per hour plus travel reimbursements.
Scripted roles: Appearances with speaking roles can be approximately $200.
Civic meetings: Simple attendance at a meeting may pay around $60.

Indirect "Compensation" Claims:
Critics and some security experts suggest that while direct "paychecks" for violence are not documented, some participants may receive indirect support that serves as an incentive:
Legal defense packages: Coverage of legal fees if arrested.
Travel and lodging: Provisions for boutique hotel stays or luxury accommodations for protest leaders.
Supplies: Provision of high-quality signs, riot gear, or "pallets of bricks," though these claims are often anecdotal and disputed.

Career Activism;
It is important to distinguish between individual protesters and professional "paid activists" who work for non-profits or advocacy groups. According to ZipRecruiter data for January 2026, professional activist jobs (which involve legal organizing, not violence) have a median annual wage of $127,800.
