There is so much going wrong right now. The result of a sudden influx of money obviously will come with issues, but I feel that a lot of the money is going to big companies with cash in the banks, and not enough to smaller ones.
In a similar vein, my university recently received 38 million dollars through the cares act, half of which is required to be distributed directly to students. The administration has not said a word about that money, but has confirmed we still need to pay fees for services that we cannot use anymore, like the shuttles or the gym.
I never really thought about corruption in the United States before this.
- jefflombardjr 7y agoBullshit Jobs describes this type of corruption pretty darn well imo. Whenever there is a big pile of money it entire industries pop up on how to get that money in the form of fees. It's a similar phenomenon to class action lawsuits and how if you're a plaintiff you're lucky if you get a $10 check in the mail two years later.
- AndrewBissell 7y agoGlobal measurements of "corruption" will often put the United States very far down the list because there is relatively little outright illegal bribery and horse trading. Instead, all our corruption is done legally and with the government's full blessing.
