Yeah, it's really powered by favors, in my experience. This doesn't have to be an inherently bad thing in small communities, as it gets things done, but it's obviously unfair to outsiders.
- gspr 5y agoWhat? Of course it's inherently bad! Why does the size of the community matter? Is corruption quaint if the place it's happening is small enough?!
- throwaway98797 5y agoit’s unlikely you’d be happy living where the letter of the law is followed exactly and consistently
- pixl97 5y agoI would be more happy if it was... when it is not followed exactly the execution of the law gets to pick favourites on who and when they decided to enact the laws. When laws are followed, people tend to be much more careful on the laws they write.
