The Australian system is deliberately 'overbearing' in it's rules because there's an understanding its not going to be uniformly enforced and the average joe's are going to break the rules according to a relatable need. The UK does it's decision making behind closed doors. The US is not free from bias. The time-wasting setup is no accident. There's plenty of opportunity to make the US more fair for external connections (and internal connections). I'd take a King and Priest that doesn't choose free market winners, over a system that rewards patents and regulation in the place of real wealth creation.

There's plenty of opportunity to make the US more fair for external connections (and internal connections). The US isn't free from these problems either but it seems to be happening more slowly, which I'd attribute in part to the division of power inherant within a Federalist structure, the more explicit enumeration of rights within the US constitution and the fact that many people in the US get aggressive, belligerent and fight like hell when they feel they've been wronged or want "justice" > I'd take a King and Priest that doesn't choose free market winners, over a system that rewards patents and regulation in the place of real wealth creation. They will be choosing the free market winners with the rise of the individual judgement, that's exactly the problem is that their friends will be given to win while they will use the ambiguity to punish people they don't like. Further this has nothing to do with capitalism or anything like that, the state is just as likely to be populated by individuals that are unscrupulous, power-hungry and greedy as anyone in the corporate world.
