you are going to a government office to complete some yearly bureaucratic task. you must pay a government fee and bribe an official to complete the task. if you fail to complete the task, there is a fine. which set of costs for those three is best (fee, bribe, fine) for society?

this one depends a lot on what the societal value of the task actually getting completed is

true, but that wasn’t one of the options, and given that bribery is very bad, you’re left with 2) or 3), so you choose 3) if you assume a bunch of people not doing the task would be bad

like the way we file taxes in the US sucks ass, but if a bunch of people didn’t do it, or you had to pay a bribe to do it, it would be way worse
