Can't believe your legal system allows working with relatives.

It's probably in the US. We have no justice here.

Indeed. I’ve had a few decent experiences with the justice system here, but far more were horrible if not straight up tragic.

The particular small town I live in has about five “main” families that pretty much own everything and everywhere. They’re also the ones who hold all the local government positions. If I would’ve known all this before moving here, I would not have. At least now I know to research things like that before choosing a place to live in the future. Nepotism is not only common here, it’s a way of life.

And yes, it’s in the US.
