Sadly, corruption won't go away anytime soon, though I do wonder how long the UK and USA will both last, when trillionaires have more money than actual governments.:-(

See e.g. the story in the USA where the whistleblower was "suicided" while testifying against Boeing for failure to follow safety protocols. Wings are falling off of planes, and nobody will do a damn thing about it.:-( Bc why should a person who has their own jet want to pay taxes to pay the salaries of those who enforce safety standards, just to protect The Poors?:-(
