I've lived a good part of my adult life overseas, and I know what Doug means about 3rd world corruption, but I think he's got it partially wrong. America is a very corrupt nation at the top, In the US, corruption can be structured in a way that shields the perpetrator from the law. It is still corruption, and the damage is real and keeps getting worse. the politician that goes to Washington to 'serve' and retires with a net worth of 100 million is an good example of this.

Corruption in todays world can look very different from the expectation we got from old type of low level corruption, we tend to think about two parts exchanging favours as corruption, but in todays world corruption is 2.0 or 3.0 in developed countries, there isn't much money directly changing hands and favours done directly by the receiver of that money, today it's more favours exchanged but not between two parts, instead it's done by personal contacts within different organisations like a chain reaction in a chain reaction where people ask for favours from people inside in other organisations that are not directly involved in getting favours directly in yhe deal, playback for that is coming later in other deals not connected to the first deals, and payment or favours aren't allways money or material, it can even be as simple as some inside information, or socialmedia attention so they fast grow followers as influencers, or the payback comes in their career from a third or fourth part were one of them uses personal contacts with people inside that organisation, today "follow the money" approach from investigators has changed how corruption take place in developed countries, and therefore it's much harder to spot, and it goes more to the high ranked than the average person on lower levels, corruption today is a networking thing with personal contacts within multiple organisations that can create chains of links were it becomes very hard to prove that corruption took place because it's nowhere in documentation that can be searched.

Democracy does not equate to being able to speak freely. In a true democracy if 51% vote for suppressed speech, then that's what you'll get. America isn't a democracy, regardless of what many politicians espouse. America is a Constitutional Republic with an Electoral College. I'm very happy this is the case.
Western countries like Australia (where I live) do not have the same level of corruption, but they excel at rorting money from their citizens by other means and squandering it with zero accountability or consequence. The corruption and rorts are somehow legalised. For example, speed cameras, politicians on exceedingly good retirement pensions, cushy, lucrative roles on corporation boards or directorships with banks after politics (to oil the wheels of business deals), endless taxpayer funded expenses that private sector workers are not privy to.
It’s just another form of corruption that many of the citizens happily support it because it maintains their perceived normalcy and feeds into their pride of living in a country with “low corruption”
I will never live back in Australia, just returned over tax’s more authoritarian than a lot of socialist countries I have visited . So sad and inflation must well over 10% .
As an Australian myself who has lived in most states, and travelled too many countries. We are definitely the most corrupt 1st world country, and yes corruption is legalised here, life in Australia is horrible and it ain't easy to get out and move due to visa/language reasons if you were to decide to go to europe etc. And that we are so isolated from everyone so travelling is a nightmare. It's the pinnacle country of tyranny and control with overpowered police.

@@donh5794 I don't think you really know what true corruption is in this world. Go to Russia and China and you will see real corruption, in the billions of $. One of the main reasons immigrants come in waves to America and Europe is "no corruption" in the West compared to where they come from.
@@jamesc2899 You actually believe that? It's just a different form of the same. The reason they are in America is to get into a more open country, join family, friends and for jobs. Also, the infrastructure is much better. It's not just about corruption from their view. They do find that they will still pay up one way or another.
As an argentinian, the private world already had instruments and costumes to get around the formal system. Sometimes from corruption, but in others, is just black market (of course through corruption aswell). For instance, in some places you pay everything with cash and it doesnt get registered anywhere, so sometimes, they offer you a 15% discount if you do it that way because they avoid pay taxes. Dollars are basically illegal, but in my town I have an exchange store with neon lights in the middle of the city center with people buying the black market dollar. Every law and regulation the 100 "bright" politicians came up with is rapidly surpassed by millions of argentines trying to figuere out a way around it. Its pretty funny. The only thing that made us fucking poor is that the government controlls currency and we are forced to use it. I genuinely believe that if someone make a monetary reform like dollarizing the country will go up pretty quickly and its really difficult for the government to reverse that.
Is it true that locals pay hundreds of pesos for $1 U.S. dollar? That seems strange. If dollars are illegal what are the dollars used for? Black market?
@@donh5794 200 pesos is a dollar in the black market, is called dolar blue. We used it for saving and Argentina is semi-dollarized. Important assets and goods are valued in dollars, like property and you pay them in USD. Argentina is the second country with more dollars per-capita
@@vvventure This is really interesting, but it's also what I've heard/read about informally. I read somewhere that about two-thirds of the physical U.S. dollars are not even in the U.S.! Many countries with endemic inflation have found ways to cope. The U.S. dollar, which actually has a lot of inflation attached to it now, is still historically far better than a lot of places. When we travelled to Vietnam, the U.S. dollar was freely accepted informally. In places like El Salvador, the U.S. dollar is officially used. Even the dollar coin, because of its obvious durability over paper, is more frequently used than in the U.S.!
Honestly the inefficiencies of 3rd World countries can be a real blessing even for day to day life. There is also a level of negotiation and empathy that happens with the law enforcement and legal structures. South Africa is a prime example of this. Naturally not all 3rd worked countries are like this and one needs to do their research before entering one of these countries
Well, tell me if this is not a corruption. 3 weeks ago, I needed to get my son’s emergency passport. He’s under 16 yrs old. I had to go through Agency and paid $700 fee for them, on top of the government’s fee+ $60 expedited fee. And they did nothing for us. We made the appointment, filled out application ourselves. After that, we sent the sealed package to the Agenc then they submitted to the government. So, even we paid $60 expedited fee to the government. We won’t have the pass in hand in 5-7 weeks. But to get it in 11 days, we had to paid $700. 5 days will cost over $1,000. So, I don’t see America system is any much different than other “corrupted” countries that this guy mentioned.
Would ya rather still be in Vietnam? Think, bozo! You paid for the privilege. Is that corruption? Then, yes. It is. Other people call it a fee. Just don't be so shocked. At least the option was available. What would you have done if it weren't?! Should EVERYONE get a passport in 24 hours? How much would that infrastructure cost?
It's true, having been to Mexico many times and Colombia a couple times I can safely say that it's easy to get around 90% of laws by paying a simple bribe to the correct people.
Think if all these laws actually were created just to get someone a job either to punish the one who breaks them, or make it possible for the politicians to underpay their policeforce by knowing bribers are the ones that going to fill upp their wages to a liveable level ?
The US is practically a Third-world country right now. The level of poverty is reaching Africa-like levels. Doug is still living in the 20th century. Or perhaps it’s because he hasn’t lived in the US for so long?

I agree with you and as a US citizen have lived in all throughout the Americas and Europe. Yankees are in denial when you have third-world diseases in major US cities from the homeless populations - as an example.
I wouldn't say Africa levels but it's getting bad. Large sections of the USA are impoverished now, in disrepair and crime ridden. Meth is rampant in rural areas. Most of the big cities are experiencing a massive crime wave.

I find this interview informative but having visited both Argentina and Uruguay, and later the US, to brand them third-world countries is insulting, they are not first-world either, but from America's point of view they're always the benchmark of first-world, well, guess what, that's not how europeans see you either. I visited parts of America that are much more third-world than in these two countries, so please be more mindful in the future when using that word, otherwise, what would you call the real third-world countries in Africa? just my 2 cents...
US is a 3rd world country compared to Singapore, Dubai, Litchenstein, Japan, Qatar, the list goes on. You been to Detroit or San Fransiko? Don’t dare walk there at night, you’ll get killed for your shoes. The word is just an attempt to label something, in this case, countries less often considered.
In Uruguay, the poorest African countries are called “4th-world countries”, they were called this way since I was in primary school in the 80’s. But Uruguay was much better back then. It is sad how Uruguayan society has fallen to pieces in the last two decades.
Bribery exists in the US, just at the higher levels (govt, big business, etc). In the 3rd world, bribery exists pretty much everywhere, even among the masses.
He is very wrong about the U.S. and this pandemic made it more obvious. I will say at the lower levels perhaps there is a little less corruption but at the higher levels it is off the top.
He's saying how stupid the people and governments of Argentina and Uruguay are and he's going to go back with no consequences? I'm not questioning his assessments or even his right to make them, I just wonder how this will affect him in the future.
This guy is Blunt but speaks the truth. No minced words, just his point of view from a person that actually has experience. Not some guy that reads an easily digestible article in the New Yorker and thinks he knows the geo political state of an South American country.

Fun things that are banned in Singapore: (1) No chewing gum sales - you can buy from outside and bring it in for personal use, but no store sells chewing gum (2) No recreational drugs - drugs that are already legalized in the west are still restricted in Singapore - could get you capital punishment so don't even try bringing some in (3) No making fun of any established religion in Singapore - Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, etc. - that was what got Amos Yee imprisoned in Singapore and forced him to seek asylum in the US

For your information: First: "THIRD WORLD" was the label for countries that were not aligned with either the US or the USSR during the Cold War. So, Switwerland and Sweden are Third World. Second: America is a supercontinent that is divided into South America, Central America and North America. Ath least, that's how it's taught in Europe.
@Erik J. I said certain African countries, most in East Africa, like Kenya, Tanzania and especially Rwanda. The world is changing and I'm sure Andrew of all people would know this. Besides, regarding incorrect data collection, the same could be said for Argentina, given the extreme degree of corruption it's plagued by.
The thing about the US is it's a huge country so it's quite diverse as well. Per the other commenters about it being a 3rd world country, I disagree because you can live very safely and very well in many parts of the US. In Northern California where I live, we are right in middle of hi-tech and life is good. Expensive yes, but people are also paid very well. And if one does not like a part of US, they are move to a totally different area with different cultural, political views and cost of living so you don't have to necessarily leave the country to "migrate". Now, people like Doug probably do it for other reasons then financial - to see the world and why not. To be honest, if I were to live outside of US, I'd go for a developed country - there are many to choose from which afford a much lower cost of living. And is Argentina a 3rd world country really? I would not consider Buenos Aires 3rd world.

Corruption in places like Mexico is simply more democratic. Anyone can buy its small share of it. In the USA, corruption is reserved to the well connected or the well heeled.

In a true democracy if 51% vote for suppressed speech, then that's what you'll get.
America isn't a democracy, regardless of what many politicians espouse.
America is a Constitutional Republic with an Electoral College.
I'm very happy this is the case.

The face of andrew looking awkwardly at the camera jojojo
Western countries like Australia (where I live) do not have the same level of corruption, but they excel at rorting money from their citizens by other means and squandering it with zero accountability or consequence. The corruption and rorts are somehow legalised. For example, speed cameras, politicians on exceedingly good retirement pensions, cushy, lucrative roles on corporation boards or directorships with banks after politics (to oil the wheels of business deals), endless taxpayer funded expenses that private sector workers are not privy to.
It’s just another form of corruption that many of the citizens happily support it because it maintains their perceived normalcy and feeds into their pride of living in a country with “low corruption”
I will never live back in Australia, just returned over tax’s more authoritarian than a lot of socialist countries I have visited . So sad and inflation must well over 10% .
@@peteranderson6068 So stressful to live in Australia. The cost of living goes to the roof every year.
As an Australian myself who has lived in most states, and travelled too many countries. We are definitely the most corrupt 1st world country, and yes corruption is legalised here, life in Australia is horrible and it ain't easy to get out and move due to visa/language reasons if you were to decide to go to europe etc. And that we are so isolated from everyone so travelling is a nightmare.

@@jamesc2899 You actually believe that? It's just a different form of the same. The reason they are in America is to get into a more open country, join family, friends and for jobs. Also, the infrastructure is much better. It's not just about corruption from their view. They do find that they will still pay up one way or another.
As an argentinian, the private world already had instruments and costumes to get around the formal system. Sometimes from corruption, but in others, is just black market (of course through corruption aswell). For instance, in some places you pay everything with cash and it doesnt get registered anywhere, so sometimes, they offer you a 15% discount if you do it that way because they avoid pay taxes. Dollars are basically illegal, but in my town I have an exchange store with neon lights in the middle of the city center with people buying the black market dollar. Every law and regulation the 100 "bright" politicians came up with is rapidly surpassed by millions of argentines trying to figuere out a way around it. Its pretty funny. The only thing that made us fucking poor is that the government controlls currency and we are forced to use it. I genuinely believe that if someone make a monetary reform like dollarizing the country will go up pretty quickly and its really difficult for the government to reverse that.
Is it true that locals pay hundreds of pesos for $1 U.S. dollar? That seems strange. If dollars are illegal what are the dollars used for? Black market?
@@donh5794 200 pesos is a dollar in the black market, is called dolar blue. We used it for saving and Argentina is semi-dollarized. Important assets and goods are valued in dollars, like property and you pay them in USD.
Argentina is the second country with more dollars per-capita
@@vvventure That is interesting.
@@vvventure This is really interesting, but it's also what I've heard/read about informally. I read somewhere that about two-thirds of the physical U.S. dollars are not even in the U.S.! Many countries with endemic inflation have found ways to cope. The U.S. dollar, which actually has a lot of inflation attached to it now, is still historically far better than a lot of places. When we travelled to Vietnam, the U.S. dollar was freely accepted informally. In places like El Salvador, the U.S. dollar is officially used. Even the dollar coin, because of its obvious durability over paper, is more frequently used than in the U.S.!
Bitcoin is a thousand times better in every way than the dollar.

Honestly the inefficiencies of 3rd World countries can be a real blessing even for day to day life. There is also a level of negotiation and empathy that happens with the law enforcement and legal structures. South Africa is a prime example of this. Naturally not all 3rd worked countries are like this and one needs to do their research before entering one of these countries
Well, tell me if this is not a corruption. 3 weeks ago, I needed to get my son’s emergency passport. He’s under 16 yrs old. I had to go through Agency and paid $700 fee for them, on top of the government’s fee+ $60 expedited fee. And they did nothing for us. We made the appointment, filled out application ourselves. After that, we sent the sealed package to the Agenc then they submitted to the government.
So, even we paid $60 expedited fee to the government. We won’t have the pass in hand in 5-7 weeks. But to get it in 11 days, we had to paid $700. 5 days will cost over $1,000. So,
I don’t see America system is any much different than other “corrupted” countries that this guy mentioned.
Would ya rather still be in Vietnam? Think, bozo! You paid for the privilege. Is that corruption? Then, yes. It is. Other people call it a fee. Just don't be so shocked. At least the option was available. What would you have done if it weren't?! Should EVERYONE get a passport in 24 hours? How much would that infrastructure cost?
@@steverobertson6393 Passports shouldn't exist
"You have all these laws, but you can get around them." LOL Perfect. AKA the express fee...
It's true, having been to Mexico many times and Colombia a couple times I can safely say that it's easy to get around 90% of laws by paying a simple bribe to the correct people.
I like the term, “express fee”.
Think if all these laws actually were created just to get someone a job either to punish the one who breaks them, or make it possible for the politicians to underpay their policeforce by knowing bribers are the ones that going to fill upp their wages to a liveable level ?

I find this interview informative but having visited both Argentina and Uruguay, and later the US, to brand them third-world countries is insulting, they are not first-world either, but from America's point of view they're always the benchmark of first-world, well, guess what, that's not how europeans see you either. I visited parts of America that are much more third-world than in these two countries, so please be more mindful in the future when using that word, otherwise, what would you call the real third-world countries in Africa? just my 2 cents...

(3) No making fun of any established religion in Singapore - Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, etc. - that was what got Amos Yee imprisoned in Singapore and forced him to seek asylum in the US

Argentina is not a 3 world country.
The thing about the US is it's a huge country so it's quite diverse as well. Per the other commenters about it being a 3rd world country, I disagree because you can live very safely and very well in many parts of the US. In Northern California where I live, we are right in middle of hi-tech and life is good. Expensive yes, but people are also paid very well. And if one does not like a part of US, they are move to a totally different area with different cultural, political views and cost of living so you don't have to necessarily leave the country to "migrate". Now, people like Doug probably do it for other reasons then financial - to see the world and why not. To be honest, if I were to live outside of US, I'd go for a developed country - there are many to choose from which afford a much lower cost of living. And is Argentina a 3rd world country really? I would not consider Buenos Aires 3rd world.

Which is the best African country to you. I understand friends in middle and north Africa take breaks in South Africa.
A mountain of a man. So much wisdom, and intimate understanding of the soul of modern politician.
I totally disagree.
Your channel is somewhat helpful but suffers from an exclusive focus on financial benefits---a recipe for unhappiness no matter where one lives or how comfortably one lives there. Mr. Casey comes off as an arrogant individual who evaluates everyone else in terms of "what can you do for me?" Opinions from such a person are useless to me.
Yup. You can sense the arrogance a mile away. Ppl like this ruin the world
EN MÉXICO NO PODRÍA VIVIR PORQUE AQUÍ NO SE CONDONAN LOS IMPUESTOS... TODOS TENEMOS QUE PAGARLOS PORQUE LA LEY FUE MODIFICADA RECIENTEMENTE 👍👍👏👏👏
Col , Casey what about Indo China peninsula,not necessarily Vietnam.which actually has great potential, China shouldn't get to big for their boots true with British, Americans or anyone with colonization in mind
Corruption in places like Mexico is simply more democratic. Anyone can buy its small share of it. In the USA, corruption is reserved to the well connected or the well heeled. Demanding or suggesting a bribe is a racket, but so is draconian laws. In America, extorsion is legal and organized. In Mexico, it's illegal and desorganized. That's all. I rather have disorganized and illegal extorsion than a legal racket.
YES! "Equal opportunity corruption"! There it is. Someone said it besides me.
What Casey says about cops' bribery has changed a lot. You are taking a big risk in trying to bribe a cop in South America, you could end up in jail, which is a real nightmare, especially for white people, who are perceived to be wealthy and easy to be abused.
Depends on the country
well colombia. mex. nicragua honduras. will all accept bribes. as for the rest idk.
@@juanvalera7214 In Argentina you run the big risk if you don't try to bribe a cop. In addition to what he said, many Argentinian libertarians like the fact that the country is too chaotic and unorganised for a true dictatorship
In Mexico..The only way to say out of jail is to pay a normal bribe.
Depends on the cop, the country and the situation
People of the world are already registered at birth in Lucien trust as "cargo" of the overlords.
Love your shortened gingle! Over in >2secs!
The ability to buy your way out of an all-day line at the DMV is an example beneficial corruption.
In California, there's a mini DMV office at the Capitol that's strictly for state officials.
