It is extremely funny to see the US with a 64/100 on the corruption index after decades of the most heinous pay-to-play politics on the global stage. Also, fucking bananas to suggest Singapore is in the top three least corrupt countries in the world. A municipality owned and operated by a cartel of billionaires. Not corrupt! Then you’ve got full on police states like Israel and the UAE are in the top third of nations.
Probably not a coincidence that the biggest donor states have a habit of turning up at the top of the Least Corrupt list. Just a who’s who of Western European state agencies and mega-wealthy families. FFS, they take money from the King Badouin Foundation. King Badouin. A literal monarchical trust! How cool. Wonder where all that donor money came from?

In the same way the CEO of Exxon or Microsoft might pursue an employee caught embezzling or taking bribes to set contractual terms, sure.
What does the term “corruption” stand for in an oligarchy? It stands for cutting into the private profits of the aristocracy.
I sincerely believe that in a century (if we make it) high school level history/civics courses will have entire units in government corruption and this period will have a name like “Cronyism Era”
Oh so you can legalize drugs but not corruption?
-me, very smart and illiterate because all things are actually the same
