Is corruption mostly a good thing?
#12
RE: Is corruption mostly a good thing?
On the island of Vir, where I used to have a summerhouse, in the early 2000s, only the center of the Vir town had electricity. Then, in (if I am not mistaken) 2007, the bureaucrats in Zadar came up with rules came up with a bunch of rules about which type of house is supposed to be built in which place, and that houses that don't conform to those rules can't legally get electricity, while those that conform can. The problem is, almost no house conforms to those rules. So, nobody or almost nobody on Vir in the past decade or so got electricity without giving a bribe to some bureaucrat. So, what do you think now, is it a bad thing that bureaucrats are accepting bribes, is that the cause of why people on the island of Vir can't get electricity? Or is it actually a good thing, a way to get things done in spite of the stupid senseless laws? My parents wanted to be ethical, so they didn't pay a bribe, and they sold our summerhouse without electricity (even though they could get perhaps as much as 15'000 euros more if the summerhouse had electricity, and the bribe would have costed a lot less). But what if that's actually not more ethical?
And Zoran Milanović promises that, if we vote for him on the elections the next year, he would try to free Croatia of corruption. So, do you think it's wise to vote for him? Wouldn't getting rid of corruption make things even worse?
