Yeah I fear like Greece with the aversion to paying taxes, they may have a fundamental behavioral issue that will just snowball...
Granted I get why people do what they do, but as a whole, it could be disastrous. Much like your expat story, I recall a blog post by someone who went to SA for work. They enjoyed it, but they didn't get why they were even there doing the work as the people they reported to seemed to do little to nothing and could have ... just done their job, but at the same time they weren't sure those people could do that job, or much at all :(
