Демократическая партия разрушает продуктовые лавки, молочные, булочные и мясные магазины, насаждая бездушные супермаркеты!!! In Pennsylvania, a program led by a Democratic state legislator, Dwight Evans, used state and private financing for construction of supermarkets in areas where residents had previously had to rely on costly small stores or drive long distances for groceries.

In a practice that has recently come into wide use in the industry, insurers study credit history to help judge the likelihood that a customer will file insurance claims; those with worse credit records are charged higher premiums, because, insurers say, the industry has found a correlation between poor ratings and the filing of claims. Вывод: Washington State’s insurance commissioner, Mike Kreidler, described efforts to restrict the use of personal credit scores by sellers of home and car insurance.

Background checks required by a new state law have found 1,000 convicted felons—including 60 sex offenders—living at Illinois nursing homes.

``The numbers are further evidence of the need for the state to get its arms around this problem,'' said Cara Smith, policy director for state Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan. The state has about 100,000 residents living at nearly 1,200 licensed facilities.

Прямо сию минуту в штате Иллиной мотают срок от одного года и больше (одно из определений felony) 368 человек на 100,000 населения. По-моему, при этом обнаружить только тысячу стариков-бывших преступников на 100,000 случайных стариков - неправдоподобно мало.

BOSTON -- Three Boston police officers accused of taking $35,000 in exchange for protecting a cocaine shipment were arrested in Miami on federal drug charges in an FBI sting operation, authorities said Friday.

По десять тысяч на брата? Прямо скажем, недорого. В Бостоне половина милиционеров получает больше $50,000 в год. Значит, вероятность попасться они оценили как ничтожную.
