Corruption Perception Index 2018

MO has a similar system and it’s used to prey on people who aren’t willing to challenge it.

I had my car inspected and they found ~$1500 worth of things I had to fix to pass inspection, and another $1500 optional things.

Well, I had a mechanic friend help me change break pads, but he said the other two things on the list looked fine to him. So I am taking it to another place for the 2nd inspection and expect it to probably pass (A place that doesn’t normally offer the services the other place offers.)

Still - it was unsettling and stressful before I realized half the things they saw as problems weren’t a problem, and the cost to fix the one thing that for sure was a problem wasn’t that hard or expensive.
