    I mean we don’t, my government can spend tens of billions on literally nothing and then spend millions more investigating where all that money went. We certainly have democracies but part of what we vote for is who’s raiding the public purse.

        Completely true but I would still appreciate a bit less blatant cronyism, like when X company is paid for product, delivers crap, then is paid again to dispose of the crap they just delivered.
