It has been decades ago. But I remember a man on the street type interviews. The subject was corruption in Chicago. I was flabbergasted at how the citizens acknowledged the corruption but seemed to accept it. One said, that's just how it is to get things done.

I remember thinking that they were screwed if the citizens felt this way. This was back when Chicago was an epicenter of economic activity. Don't get me wrong, they still have money, they didn't have the debt.
