    Nepotism is prevalent everywhere, sure. On another level, network and connections matter. Rich have connections and the consequences of not kissing their ass can backfire.

    But in theory, we should all recognize that regulations should be in place to inhibit such acts. It’s like saying the family of the victim a HP be the judge, jury, and executioner in a court of justice. Obviously we’d all be happy to take up that role… But is that what’s best for society?

      What is best for society is generally not what is best for the individual.

      Enforcement of rules and regulations is one area that seems to always have potential corruption since nobody wants someone looking over their shoulder all the time for things that they are not doing right. It’s easy to say “investigate those crooks!” so long as those investigations aren’t targeting us.
