I remember someone -- I think an econ professor? -- say something that struck me as smart. There's lots of corruption, but it's pretty important whether the service is provided. It's one thing if government is corrupt, and the brother / kid is getting kickbacks, and maybe users pay 20 or 30 or even 100% more than it should ideally cost. That's a problem. It's a whole different story if the government is corrupt, and you're paying the corrupt price, and you don't even get the electricity.
