Talking with my Russian neighbor and he likened the USA to the Weimar Republic off handedly which prompted a discussion 

I said “Weimar? What about 90s Russia?” (He lived there then so right guy to ask)

He rejected it saying that it was still too functional overall here (“The roads are still getting fixed”) but conceded on corruption or tendency towards corruption being similar

at my bottom, I'm with you at 90s USSR. thought that was a good crystallization below. (am hopeful we are built very different and on to something else)
