    The corruption in 3rd world countries is way better because at least it’s local. You bribe local police and they spend the money in the community.

    Our money is just going into some asshole’s Bitcoin wallet

      To be fair a lot a lot of develping world corruption goes to their national politiicians, and they like to move to london after they lose position. Or the US. London caters to them.

      They actually do spend money on infrastructure projects, it just gets stolen. But yeah a lot of the corruption is local, and stems ultimately from not paying government workers living wages, and not prosecuting corruption.

      But that’s neither here nor there with these fucking gangsters running the US.
