"my country" is united states. I'm talking about american corruption. You sound all surprised. I'm talking about your own political system, your corruption.

when you said "corruption is errant in a system", that didn't make sense, and also was false. It's not like corruption is breaking or experiencing a hickup. The corruption is doing just fine, thank you. You can say: voltage is errant in my welder. That means voltage is not working. When you say corruption is errant - you're implying the corruption is not working. But in america, the corruption is working just fine, thank you. You are acting like there is no curruption in the united states. Just look at biden! Or if you are the other kind - just look at trump! Look at Ilhan Omar. What, all of a sudden corruption exists in america, but it's only limited to just this one person, ilhan omar? Or if I mention Katie Zacharia, what, you'll say that only two people in usa are corrupt, only ilhan omar and katie zacharia? What are you even talking about? corruption exists somewhere else far, far away, but not here?

> Do politicians go to jail in your country?

What does that mean?! Do politicians go to jail in your country?

> Cruelty to animals...

I said, in order to legally torture animals, all you need is a license. That's corruption, do I need to spell it out? C.O.R.R.U.P.T.I.O.N. Search #beaglegate

> Nobody said unions are not corrupt...

Cool, we can agree on something: unions are corrupt.

> Corruption is errant[0] in a system...

No, corruption works as intended. When there is no corruption, when a system is perfectly fair and honest, then you say, corruption is errant in the system. What you mean is errant as a noun, which is wrong, and you are wrong. Do not confuse truth and false, you sound fundamentally corrupt. In fact, you are just wrong overall with this word. Improve your grammar, use a different word. Do not use the word "errant".

> trade unions [] get a voice

Absolutely not. people get a voice. trade unions are some abhorrant misguided concept of an organizational mechanic. People have voices. Your weird convoluted contraptions do not have a right to have a voice or an opinion. You can argue back and forth that people have a voice via trade unions. Whatever, but the argument must be human-centric. Trade unions don't have a voice, or any rights. Get it straight.

In fact, if organizational structures deserve a voice, then the Confederacy "deserves" a "voice" and must be reinstated. What now from you - silence?

> No, we cannot both agree

No, but we can, whether you like to, or not. : ) We must agree on this: the system acts as intended. From your point of view, because the system is pure and innocent, like a beautiful flower. From my point of view, because corruption is inherent (ie native, do not confuse with nonsense "errant") in american political system. See? You must agree. The system works as intended.
