To any individual lower corruption is what that matters most. However as a country it is higher level corruption that costs you the most , all the money governments are spending without oversight on Coronavirus response for example . This is lot costlier to the country than a beat cop taking a bribe .
Most ngos and corruption indices focus too much on lower level corruption instead of both.
- maest 6y agoI believe you are underestimating the negative drag low level corruption has on the economy. It means setting up businesses or conducting any commercial activity is slow and fraught with hidden costs and risks. Information isn't usually freely available and solving problems usually involes "knowing someone" and going through backchannels.
- mech422 6y agooh? sounds like trying to figure out why FAANG closed your developer account :-P
- jevgeni 6y agoDo FAANGs burn down your office and break your legs?
- literallycancer 6y agoMaybe not that, but pay off the police to seize your servers? That's table stakes for a multinational in a region where they have the necessary influence.
- mech422 6y agoPerhaps it was a tasteless joke... I was commenting on how you seem to need to post on HN to get any support from the FAANGs.
