Looking at https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2021/index/usa https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2021/index/usa I'm worried by how much more corrupt we became after Trump got into power.
- oefrha 4y agoThere’s no “corruption ranking”, only corruption perception ranking. People who dislike a government will perceive more corruption regardless of the reality, and vice versa. Similarly, people who are hardly scraping by will likely perceive more corruption compared to those living more prosperously, even if there’s no corruption at all.
