    Petty corruption is pretty decently under control (you can’t bribe a police officer if they pull you over), but institutional corruption, politicians amd their buddies, that had a field day with COVID measures and is very much alive and kicking.

    See this example of “legal” affairs that stink of corruption. A lot of land was force-bought to make way for a new high-speed line to be laid. Huge overruns later, the line has been chopped short, it will no longer run across certain tracts of land. So a tonne of land that was appropriated from citizens is now going to be sold off. I feel sure the price on those sales will be below market value and it will be sold to their buddies.

    Or Nick Clegg, the former deputy Prime Minister who, when he left government, went into a veeery cushy job at Meta.

      Wild man. I had no idea. As an outside person with casual interest, I don’t come across this kind of info much. I appreciate it.
