Wonderful interview. Took decades to freely discuss it though.

at the base of every unethical act criminal or civil is the necessary seed, "Influence"
Given or received it's the under the table handshake, or the wink of an eye.

Agnews crime is miniscule compared to what's been done today.

[@JackyTMusic]

Yeah, but his casual cronyism, and acceptance of it, is what laid the normalcy for current corruption. And its ignorant to think Agnew hadnt participated in other nefarious crimes against the tax payer and common good. Your comment just distracts from the fact corruption can form a solid layer for others to build on. Dude was greedy, greed is the worst thing we have developed as structural issue.. hang him out to dry.

Thanks for pointing where the the important part of the video for us studying ethics and only cares about that😂

Here's a lesson to be learned - If a professional Engineer will lose his license, and his livelihood if he's exposed for corruption, and a Politician can just keep on going like nothing happened, then it looks to me like the state's elected officials are systematically destroying the industry the state depends on to HAVE INFRASTRUCTURE.

Thats yours. No thanks you. You dont seek far enough nor deep and at enough length to heaf off risk to others, worldwide, who have others necessities. Let go that esteem appearance idea. Thats the losing pitch- claiming another's tastes are foul. Your minds are too open in your way.
Flip? Flip it the same both ways. Thats a balanced scale. Listen to yourselves.
