Ok guys, so I work in the traffic department of the state government in a third world country, and I see a lot, and I really mean a very big amount of bribery where I work (not specifically in my sector). Some colleagues in other cities make 5 times their salary only on bribery monthly, and it pretty much disgusts me.Obviously they only take cash, because otherwise it would raise suspicion from the "IRS" here with bank transfers and such. This results in many problems such for the non corrupt employees as having the same salary for 8 years now, even with a 50% inflation during this time.We already have had tried to go on strike (I think that's what is called) without success because those people that take huge amounts of bribery, which are the biggest branches didn't join, so basically it was a mess and had no results.You can't open any business without paying some money to whoever works in the City Hall that takes charge of the sector you're trying to enter, or building any construction without paying someone there as well. And this goes on on every level, for example there was a senator like a week ago that got caught up hiding cash in his underwear when federal police arrived, and it wasn't the first one to do so. I honestly think corruption is the biggest problem in third world countries.Point is, Monero and other privacy coins facilitates this by a huge amount for obvious reasons, once someone took a bribery much more easily it can't be tracked anymore, and this is something that I think that needs to be addressed in such cases. Of course there is a huge positive side on having a privacy coin so you can spend your money without being constantly watched (to name one), but I think the downside in places such as where I live is more relevant.What do you guys think about it?
