"I don't know if you're familiar with who runs that business but I assure you it's not the Boy Scouts."
Exactly. It’s gangland corruption with a facade of new language and distractions to cover for it.
The last time that I built a septic system, there was a mad queer in the engineering firm (engineering required by regulation) and a mad lesbian in the county environmental health office. The cost was far lower than hiring a contractor but far higher than the costs of building it without the engineering and permit. They were gatekeepers placed to screen for political correctness and the local builders’ racket.
They delayed it by simply saying “no” to the project, until I hired an attorney to clear the way. After the attorney did his part, the system was quickly built and passed the first inspection.
