A single man got paid a million dollars a year to monitor a year a year. To monitor a city's compliance with a DOJ consent decree that went on and on and on. And, you know, these consent decree monitors set compliance rates of 95% or 100%. And it's like, it's like Zeno's paradox. You know, you never actually reach 100% because you never reached 94%. You never reached 95%.

And the judge is a guy getting paid to determine the outcome. And it is a broken system. Some of these consent decree monitors have fake companies, shell companies that haven't been registered with any state. Some of them have fake nonprofits that aren't really nonprofits.
