Actually, it can and DOES ... for ants, bees, and such 😉
It fails for humans, though.

Pathetic.
BREAKING REPORT: Saudi Arabia has allegedly offered the Houthis $1 billion through Iranian mediation to halt attacks on the Kingdom. If confirmed, Riyadh is seeking security through financial incentives.
Can Saudi Arabia buy the Houthis' cooperation, or will $1 billion merely buy a temporary pause before the next confrontation?

Oligarchs bribe government officials to enact certain regulations and certain licensing laws so as to eliminate competition for their oligopoly fiefdoms. This is called "regulatory capture" (which monopolizes their favored enterprises). Small businesses get hurt.

If this info by @ddfmarketing1 is accurate, Saudi Arabia is making the same error as the Reagan Administration had done during the "arms for hostages" deal with Iran.
The enemy gets rewarded for their bad behavior, thus inviting future terrorism.

Lived in Los Angeles for two years. Never want to go back.
Lived in New York City for a year+ and while I'd never want to live there again, I've enjoyed going back from time to time over the years.

#ManifestDestiny: White migrants angering Indians.
#Zionism: Jewish migrants angering Arabs.
#OpenBorders: Muslim migrants angering MAGA.

Thus, the Socialist (in the strict sense) paradox 😐 True Socialists In A Hurry to achieve a society made up of small units that interact with each other, where none "exploits" the others and no one within them "exploits" its member. A society of A Coop (Cooperative) of Coops.
Good stuff ⬇️
This sick idealism with its inflated psychopath leadership has been behind every perfectionist idealist do-gooder movement of the last 2,000 years. The fact that this is so little known even though Friedrich Nietzsche wrote about this extensively is a testament both to how badly educated even the so-called educated crisis are as well as the fact that we've all been given some kind of immunity or allergy to the concept itself

The perfect Remains the enemy of the good because the perfect always chooses one of two complementary principles and chooses to adhere to that one principle such that anybody who disagrees with it is considered an enemy, someone casting a shadow on the Sun King of that principle's beneficence
