More Good News from Ukraine

The Prime Minister of Ukraine has announced that 42% of the management of the country’s equivalent of the INS will be fired. In Ukraine, this organization mostly occupies itself with the customs control of imports and exports. It is known to be incredibly corrupt, making it next to impossible to conduct honest business in Ukraine.

The same number of high-ranking officials in control of the Ukrainian IRS will be fired as well.

Gosh, if this had been done back in the 1990s or early 2000s, Ukraine would be a peach of a country by now.

  1. People always have the destiny they deserve. That is true for an individual as well as for a whole nation. If Ukraine didn’t do better in the past it is because it deserved nothing better.

  2. “People always have the destiny they deserve. ”

    This simplistic, absolutist saying as been around forever — never been more than smug nonsense. Life has always been an unstable combination of luck and available choices competing with personal ability and self-reliance. Nobody deserves 100% of the credit, or 100% of the blame, for how his/her lot in life turned out.

    Sometimes bootstraps work, and sometimes the best of personal effort fails because of circumstances beyond an individual’s control.
