I think this is one of these long tails for rebuilding. Clearly we can’t count on national leaders to uphold the law. The problem is either the massive buildup of ice or the entire lack of ethics and respect for the law and their fellow humans among the workers, letting them fall to authoritarianism

Perhaps if we establish a strong traditionalism of professionalism, respect for the law, strong ethics, then next time around they won’t be so susceptible to corruption. Probably need a strong union as well, so if there are any good ones, they have support to stand up for what is right.
