Could you please clone your police officers and elected officials and send them to the rest of the country. We need them all the same.
It's not the police and polilticians who are doing this.
It is the construction companies and insurance companies.
Granted not all of them might take it as seriously as some others do, but quality of work is up and workers' comp claims and unemployment are all down in that sector.
One site-development company I know personally is probably the strictest in the business. Their business has tripled since January 1 of this year with no insurance claims, workers' comp claims or people quitting.
They also reject about 50 job applicants a week for bad paper (10%) or drug test failures (90%).
