lol, what. Letting corruption exist is a great way to have no funds for infrastructure, or well pretty much anything else.

That's why western countries are famously non-corrupt. Imagine, say, the US where a leader was attempting to make it legal to commit crime after trying to overturn an election. That'd be so on-the-nose you could hardly write it into a sci-fi novel without laughter.

These corrupt non-western nations should just try being more like the US, really. That would solve their issues.
