Nobody said the US system was perfect, just better (along with other developed countries that have rule of law).
I lived in a developing country for a while and the corruption can be maddening. You might agree to partner with someone to buy property, they take your money and cut you out. In corrupt countries, you might be entirely screwed - that person has too many connections and influence, nobody will touch them.
At least in countries with rule of law you could sue them. You might not win or be made whole, but at least there is a system that is somewhat dependable.
I agree, but also disagree. Look at the entire Epstein (and co.) trials - the rich and well connected are thoroughly protected across the world. Yes, it's more likely that you can hold people accountable but only to an extent.
(Fwiw I'm from India so I'm familiar with the system, and I fully agree it's far from perfect)
