Fun fact: It’s not just the legal system. It’s kind of fucking everything. Corruption is everywhere. It’s progressively gotten worse over the decades while not enough people cared to do anything about it. Now we have campaign finance shenanigans, lobbying tomfoolery, citizens united ruling, regulatory capture all over, the first trillion dollar company and numerous other oligopolies. Here in the good ol’ US of A, it’s Dollar Über Alles.

It’s not everywhere. You don’t have to bribe/tip your doctor or your police.
But yes, in higher levels there’s a lot. I’d still say less than half of Congress is explicitly compromised.
We’re far from the bottom, but also far from where we should be. This police problem should be first on the list.
you don’t have to tip your doctor because he’s already bending you over anyway
And still don’t
What are people supposed to do about it?
