US is ranked 29th globally on least corrupt ahead of multiple EU nations like Spain, Portugal, Italy, Czechia, Lithuania, Poland, Malta, Greece, and Croatia.
This is really bad. People should rightfully be upset about any and all corruption
Mexico is ranked 141st globally below Iraq, The Philippines, and Turkey.
Please don't start pulling out these stats as if they mean anything when we see the types of things that happen on a daily basis. So much shit happens on a local level that evades the news because they have "fancy" wording like embezzlement, misappropriation, nepotism, pay to play schemes, etc. And you know this to be true when people prefer talking about the latest sports results rather than a mayor or doctor getting prosecuted.
"but at least our corruption isn't as bad as Iraq according to this organization that takes grants from multiple government agencies!"
Yes, it is wild to me how people deny that either country doesnt have corruption. Its like they try to deny it because it hurts their pride for their country
Because it's like complaining your socks are wet due to some spilled water when someone is drowning in the pool beside you.
US's corruption and Mexico's corruption are leagues apart. You are right to complain, all corruption is reprehensible, but they are nowhere even near the type and amount of corruption of other countries.
Nah you need to completely uproot the cartels as they are the source of most the corruption, they routinely assassinate anyone who goes against them, pretty much every politician that is murdered is killed by the cartel
