Could you try that again, and make sense next time.

But I'll try to help you this way.. Nooooooooo.. I don't think the inspector was paid off by CAFTA, since CAFTA hasn't passed quite yet. You know that right?? Also, inspectors being paid off to overlook shitty work is nothing new, but it's becoming more and more common.. If you happen to ask around for yourself.. doing your own homework is ever so valuable. See, THAT way, you can avoid the shock of the thought of such things.

Now, when it comes to illegal aliens on construction sites, I ask you to either visit one or a hundred of them in California or Texas... two states where I have witnessed it, and then ask the superintendent, IF THERE IS ONE, what happens if one guy gets fired. He'll usually say, that same guy will be working the next day at the next development down. This ain't a quality business anymore, it's quantity, and on the cheap.

But, I'm only telling ya what I've seen and learned and asked about on my own. Not that personal experience means a damn thing. Okie doke there uh /jum?

WHAT part of 'anything is possible' didn't you understand anyway?

PAYING BRIBES/accepting same and 'putting a thumb on the scale' are as old as mankind and KNOWN about by anybody with street sense, unless, of course you just fell off the turnip truck ...
