I agree bribes are bad. But in my culture, with very low bribary and very high trust it is OK to put a solo mother out into the street with her children because she has been unable to pay inflated rents.
For some countries, where bribery is accepted, that treatment of a fellow human would not be. If those countries had economic power they might pass laws that sanctioned our landlords.
So we need to be careful when we defend other's economic practices. We should be aware, at least, of our own sins

If those countries had economic power they might pass laws that sanctioned our landlords. Where does the idea come from that countries with more bribery are more humanitarian? Usually, corruption extends to morality, IMHO, and brutal dictatorships tend to be the most corrupt.
