>>9293464Sure, but the Tigers were produced early in the picture. And this problem was endemic to all industries. I'm not convinced it was a response to resource shortages.
>>9293466Note: history did not end on December 31, 1945. The USSR limped on as an autocratic shithole for many decades, proving all of the points I outlined in the process.
People whine about corruption in democracies. Autocratic systems are a thousand times worse, but you're ignorant of that because you don't live in one so don't have first hand experience of how nothing gets done without greasing a few palms. You can go to your local government and get your permit without having to bribe anyone, and if your application is rejected you can challenge that at an impartial administrative tribunal and have the rejection overturned if it is unreasonable without needing to take the judge out for dinner first. This is something you take for granted, because if people in those positions are caught abusing their power they will be removed and sent to gaol by others.
But when the top is corrupt the people below them learn that so long as they pay off the boss they can be corrupt too, and on and on it goes down to the lowliest local government official until your permit costs $100 "plus tip".
