I love how many of my fellow Americans love to crow about how we’re so much better than the corrupt nations of the world.
Our bribe culture is merely more expensive. It isn’t done at the peasant level as much solely because our owner class has cornered and legalized the bribe your own regulators market and is too cost prohibitive for the peasants.
And when Americans “protest” by permit in designated protest zones, at designated protest times, deliberately out of the eyeline of those they’re protesting and allocated so as not to disrupt, we might as well masturbate at home. Protest means disruption, and if Americans actually protested in a potentially effective way that disrupted traffic and commerce as it should, our militarized police would go China/Russia/etc on our ass.
Our answer to corruption isn’t to just turn a blind eye, it’s to legalize it for the owner class and make it their exclusive domain.
Honestly, this country has more humanity when the mafia ran it than today’s Wall Street reptiles.

I forget which case it was but politicians were accepting 10k amounts for votes. A quick whip round could get that money.
Criminals in this town used to believe in something
