Before watching this, i watched how to understand power by Eric Liu.
Now I am confused 😕🤔.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely
It's actually inevitable always.
This is just describing the US
Classic board games are an exaggeration, that is why they are used
Individuals often fail, bureaucracies foster individual moral failure
Just dont folow hungary
We're screwed. Humanity doesn't have what it takes to survive.
The politicians are greedy whores. The CEO's are psychopaths. The banks are a mafia.
We don't make it. Even Ted talk is corrupt with cancelling and censorship.
Asking an election official "find me 11,000 votes" to put me over the opponent is asking for him to engage in corruption.
That animation was incredible
Allowing special interest groups to lobby the Congress is essentially legalized corruption. So if we want to get rid of corruption in US, then we should start with the several SCOTUS rulings that crystalize corruption into law.
The problem is, as we in America have seen recently, these countermeasures can themselves be weaponized to further and deepen the corruption in the name of opposing or ending it. Much like in the way certain cancers and some diseases attack the immune system and turn it to destroy healthy tissue.
पिछले १५ सालों में भ्रष्टाचार ५ गुना बढ़ा है । GeM आने के बाद अब किसी को अलग से पैसा नहीं मिलता । प्रोजेक्ट के बजट से ही सरकारी अधिकारी और ठेकेदार पेट भरते है । १०० रुपये का काम , २३ से ३० रुपये के बीच करना होता है । गुडवत्ता तो गिरेगी ही कार्य की । इन सब का एक ही उपचार है । इसदेश में १०० प्रतिशत ऑनलाइन मनी कर दी जाय । ना नेता खा पाएगा , ना अधिकारी । रुपया चलेगा ही नहीं । सब ३ साल में सही हो जाएगा । कोई IAS नहीं बनना चाहेगा , ना कोई नेता ।
All of this is fine if two important public items are free of corruption. First, is the press free of bias & corruption and, second are the elections honest. Without these two nothing has a chance of improving.
yet the very same people want to vote for the same president
Come to the Philippines to see Corr up ption in Action
it's like a long lost hope for country i live here.
I'm curious what site you used to make this video ❤
Ai should be managing government.
Who agrees ?👇
The revolving door. US Gov agency directors and contractors NGOs steal from tax payers through unecesary contracts.
Zuma fell and resigned from the ANC as president then went on to form another political party the MKP which drained votes from the ANC he resigned from to below 50%. As we speak Zuma has the second largets party in South Africa which makes him the main opposition to his previous party the ANC he once led and resigned from
Not
I think a more general definition of corruption would a form of pressure or force acting on a system element that distract this element from it's primary function.
The only solution and it will happen in future, decentralized governance structure where people get to choose transparently on what project they need to put tax money through transparent blockchain system. Just like how financial institutions getting decentralized, governance also will be decentralized as current system is a failed one
A Democracy can only survive if it has three key component: 1) A strong and free press. 2) A majority of elected leaders willing to do what's right even when not popular. 3) A strong, uncorrupted election system. In the USA, we have lost both. That is why we have Trump and why we may very well slip into a dictatorship, if not Trump, some new Republican pawn in the future.
2:50 ya ini yang sedang atau yang sering terjadi di Indonesia.
💯 why the orange Cheeto wants to eliminate department of education, the FBI, HUD pretty much all of the government
Mayor appointing campaign donor to a position reminds me of trump and Elon musk
The only society i kno never had corruption was the Iroquois, political authority was given to clan mothers so stealing from the state was like stealing from ur grandma
I am Brazilian, here there is something common, prisioners respect the rules inside their cells, why do they follow rules there, if they are only there because they didnt respect society's rules? Because it is one guy watching 27, and 27 guys watching one. Out of the jail, nobody cares about your crimes (as long as they dont hurt myself personally, I dont care). Everybody is corrupt, because nobody cares if you are corrupt or not.
The digital media has played a significant role in the decline of public trust in government.
Trumps cabinet appointments fit the very definition of corruption but the truth is inconvenient.
In most democracies risk-reward for the bribe is in favor of taking a bribe and whenever there is the economic sense people will eventually accept the deal, if we want to stop the bribing culture we need to make it unfavorable to bribes, taking bribes should be extremely risky for any official, additionally people need a right reward for the efforts, creating stricter laws will not help.
If it wasn't for some decent law abiding and very brave journalists, we would never even find out about corruption amongst the political and business Elite. Unfortunately such brave journalists are a diminishing group of people, being silenced by force by the powerful corrupt.
Easy, d9nt all9w dem9crat voters to vote and call then what they are. Terrorists
There is another price of corruption eroding public trust: a prime opportunity for authoritarian strongmen to seize power by capitalizing on the discontent.
Meanwhile the Supreme Court….
Just commenting to reward the channel for making this piece of art. What a delight!
"In Botswana the government has built public trust…" The recent elections have shown they have lost that trust to the point that the incumbent party the BDP who had reigned for nearly 60 years is a shadow of itself in parliament and local government institutions.
