I wonder how much money was in politics in 1969.
I have the cynical view that the government gives contracts not to the lowest bidder (that would be generous), but rather, whoever is going to give the greatest kickback to the re-election campaigns of the people deciding who to give a contract to.
Government isn't incompetent, it's corrupt.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoGovernment was far more illegally corrupt in 1969 than it is now. Mayor Daly makes Mayor Adams look small time. The corruption in American government is almost completely legal now. Citizens United, et cetera. The legality makes it larger, but also visible.
