County Government Cronyism
Just like Moscow, Tijuana, and Washington DC, county governments have their cronyism, too. I use Orange County, California's sheriff-coroner and public administrator's cronyism for my examples.
Without common decency, a few county employees reflect the worse criminal conduct in government employment. Given an opportunity, they will mislead bereaved families. They send these families to corrupt crime scene cleanup companies. Companies in the business of paying kickbacks for these opportunities to cheat families. At times, these employees own the corrupt company. The depravity of cronyism in coroner, medical examiner, county administrator office, and fire departments exceeds drug dealers criminality. They, at least, do not nurse on our government's tax payers.
Also, people who buy from drug dealers have a choice. Victims of county cronyism have no choice. County employees ensure victims' families enrich corruption employees. After all, these employees ware badges, stinking badges.
We have a war on drugs, silence about cronyism.
Cronyism's Signs
Do people in Orange County still use the Internet?

A Disconnect
By reading this piece the reader will understand that a disconnect exists between Orange County's grieving residents on the one hand, and free enterprise cleaning companies on the other hand. County employees direct these families away from free enterprise, the open market for crime scene cleaners.
I'd have more business than I could possibly handle if families reached the Internet. I suppose that I would need two warehouses for equipment, too. Families guided by county employees ensure that honest companies receive little to zero business. This goes on year after year.

Cronyism's Signs
A high Internet marketing footprint returns few or no local calls for cleaning service -- my experience.
Explanation
When a double homicide and suicide occur, or other type of multiple, violent deaths, high price tags lead to county employee competition for these choice cleaning jobs. This becomes an administrator employee's golden goose when they land an Orange County Probate Court assignment. See Mr. Mull's incriminating comments for proof of misleading directions. I do not receive opportunities to bid on these, ever.
Explanation
County employees, including county fire and law enforcement personnel play a role in this. A violent homicide, violent suicide, or decomposition following an unattended death cleanup comes with high price tags when the homes belong to middle-class families. Three-car garages tip off cronies to high profit, low-risk insurance fraud possibilities. At times in Orange County, and probably other counties, husband and wife crony teams gang up on bereaved families. There's no way for these families to learn that their county contacts are using them as commodities to sell corrupt claiming companies.
What about local government employees?
The number of crony employees working in any county government department must remain a fraction of the employee population. The more employees aware of cronyism, the greater the risk of exposure. Besides, the more in the know, the more with their hands out for a payoff.
County employees "circle the wagons" when an imagined threat from outside their cubicles threatens the status-quo. Most working adults have a sense for this pride in place.
Also, new employees are at risk of intimidation by cronies with seniority, rank, and privilege. Older employees go-along-to-get-along.
In Orange County whistle blowers become "rats" in the midst of those they expose because few employees receive termination notices.
Last, I was assured by the Orange County Deputy Coroner that no consequences would be suffered by any employees caught giving preferential treatment to private companies.
This meant to me no risk attaches to cronyism in the coroner's office.
The point? We cannot trust county employees, top to bottom. Again, these dishonest employees represent a tiny fraction of our county employees. It takes only a few to turn government into an anti-democratic, social structure.
We face a future like third-world countries. Will anyone help stop this slide into crony capitalism?
