After socioeconomic norms have been obliterated we suddenly expect them to function when we want to transact?
And this is why bribable, self-dealing politicians are bad for business in general.

The corruption isn’t a feature of the system, it’s a sickness, and explains why thr antebellum South and the Jim Crow South were underdeveloped compared to its northern counterparts.
