You seem to know a bit about how this all works there, so I’ll ask the question here:

So in the US, unions used to be really strong. With this however, eventually came mass corruption in the unions.

How is this corruption prevented there? Is there a body of some sort that keeps all the unions in line? Or?

We have very low corruption in Sweden, rank 5 on the index compared to 24 for the US.

When one of our top politicians bought a Toblerone with her government card it was a big scandal.

Wow. That boggles the mind... I respect this so much.

Where I am? We have this kind of crap and nobody really seems to care: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/excessive-reactions-to-pennsylvania-lawmaker-s-reported-mileage/ar-AA1l0pIu

I feel for ya!

Things are moving in the wring direction in Sweden and a culture against corruption is so important as a wave break.

Sadly I have no answers to your situation except to say that fundamentally changing culture is a long and arduous journey.

Keep fighting brother ✊

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
