I am personally not worried about that: that is not what's causing $1B projects to turn into $20B projects with all the "friendly" (to politicians) companies getting in on the action.
- rsynnott 4y ago… Oh, no, it totally is. How do you think those companies are getting in on the action? Sure, sometimes it’s suitcases full of cash, but often the bribes are, well, smaller than you’d think.
- necovek 4y agoOh sure, but my point is that even then, those $1B projects could go to those very same companies at a smaller markup (say $1.05B: $50M is still a lot of money).
