#22Every company doles out bribes. In many countries bribery is the way to go. Things don’t happen without it. They just find creative ways to make it legal that’s all.

Seems like international trade and bribery go hand in hand.

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
"Don't spend your money bribing foreign governments, keep that money for lobbying in your own country. Lobbying of course is not bribery."
Because it’s not. You know that lobbyists can’t pay politicians, right? The meme that “lobbying == bribery” needs to die.
Where there's memes there's facts. (smoke -> fire)
The Clintons were "never bribed", for instance, they were just getting paid millions of dollars in "speaking fees".
You don't need to swap briefcases at a park bench to do bribery. There's plenty of unspoken quid pro quo understandings that the participants are well aware of, and this is far more effective as there'll never be any smoking guns to bring them down.

Right, international trade. There’s absolutely no bribery going on in corporate America internally.
Somehow, this one nation state has found perfect immunity within its borders to a behavior known to human society since they began.
That immunity? Willful ignorance.

>Bribery or MCAS? Your choice.
The irony of it: bribing people to choose planes that are actually safe.
