This isn't meant to be trolling but: why would they follow the law? No one is playing by the rules and no one is being punished. Not the politicians, not the government agencies, not the banks, not big tech, not big pharma, not the schools/teachers, not the cops, not the military. No one is being held to any kind of standard....

Luckily they make up for all of this by unfairly punishing individual citizens....without connections and who can't afford a good lawyer.

Not to mention, alot of energy is spent demonizing other countries for corruption meanwhile we have plenty of it here. Convince the citizens that everything is great here.

New York is a special case, but one that makes me concerned about the long term viability of large cities. I would guess that NYC's corruption issues have to do with scale and wealth comparable to many states or even countries, but very little outside scrutiny compared to what most states receive.

The day that public awareness/perception meets current affairs will result in a very interesting time in US history.
