And don’t forget the bigger picture. Businesses are jobs. When a country makes it so hostile for business that most can’t even operate there, that’s wages and tax revenue lost.

And maybe part of the blame sits on the people preaching do-nothingness and requiring a perfect system of laws and governance before taking action.
