Dream buster..

Everyone who seeks of the freedom of being self-employed imagines it will be a utopian system with no boss.

Actually, every customer becomes your boss, nobody but you pays for any of your benefits, and Payday morphs into a day of giving, rather than receiving.

It seems clear on the order of crystal that nobody has to either explain that or delegate the task.

My guess is his inferred perception of events was that the teachers must've feared termination to agree to a such a one-sided deal.

The truth may be even sadder, since the parent is correct about the strong teacher unions. "Better to go along with the program!" Than to be the tall poppy.

Arsenic enters your food chain legally through fruit and rice foodstuffs, and has an acceptable legal level in the US and Europe.

IIRC, gunpowder is a 3>2>1 mixture of sulphur, saltpeter, and charcoal. Sulphur dioxide is a food preservative, probably used in the raisins and other preserved fruit in yuor breakfast cereal... within legally recognized tolerances.

So no. No jail for the GM GMs.

...those buying these products usually have their own reliable sources to ensure that they are get what they pay for.

Those buying the products in bulk don't really care if they are genuine, they only care if the next customer in the supply chain will buy it. The end users, who are dumb enough to believe that ground up horn is going to cure their erectile dysfunction, don't have the means to test it. The end market is in China, where melamine is dumped into baby formula, dried weeds are sold as tea, and noodles are often preserved with formaldehyde. They just do not have the supply chain infrastructure to ensure quality or authenticity. The fake rhino horn could work well.

Ironically, testosterone or one of DrugCo's magic cures for ED could be included in the counterfeit horn, so it works better than the real McCoy.

Even if it was true... millions of dollars for ... 44 arrests?

Wonder what the arrest rate of 20 extra pairs of feet on the street is?

Yep, everything's bigger in Texas: the State Police and the police state.

Even if it was true... millions of breaches into the innocent communications of private citizens for... 44 arrests.
