Is there any difference between a Mob run protection racket and a union?
Question by : Is there any difference between a Mob run protection racket and a union?
The Mob charges businesses for “protection” and if you don’t pay, well, your business might burn down.
The business has to pass this cost on to the consumer
The union tells business that you better pay Vinnie $ 75 an hour for a $ 12 an hour job, or the mob will shut down your business, your suppliers, and might even damage your factory.
Is there any difference between the protection racket, and the union?
Is this why the MOB is involved in both?

To what extent should criminal law be used to protect the consumer? Peter Cartwright evaluates the role of criminal law sanctions in consumer protection from an economic and social perspective. In this important new study the author examines the rationales for protecting consumers, and considers the role that legal techniques play in fulfilling these. In addition, he analyzes criminal law doctrines such as strict, corporate, and vicarious liability, and suggests that they require re-evaluation.

What would this job title be called?
Question by averiex: What would this job title be called?
My boyfriend graduated college a year ago and is still looking for the perfect career. He has a degree in Criminal Justice, but is looking for a Social-Services type job (without the Sociology degree,seeing most of his CJ classes WERE Sociology — our college split the program up during his last year, it was a combined program).
The job he wants is something along the line of what the Better Business Bureau does — keeps companies or people from scamming other people. A “Truth in Advertising” sort of job, or “Consumer protection.” We are unsure of what this type of job would be called so he can actually apply for it. Does anyone have any idea? Details would be appreciated!

Q&A: Is Barney Frank a man immune to irony?
Question by Poke_the_Bear: Is Barney Frank a man immune to irony?
Under his guidance a 1,279 page bill passed in the House that creates a new “consumer protection” agency that will, in the words of the New York Times, ” be responsible for making the marketing and financial disclosures are easy for consumers to understand, for conducting financial literacy education and research,” etc.
Did the Congress consider making the bill easy to understand? How about it’s financial literacy?
Best answer:
Answer by Progressive/Liberal = Socialists
Milton Friedman said it best, the more the government protects the consumer, the more the consumer will need protection from the government, since the government will start limiting the consumers choices.
Thus becomes a totalitarian government knows best policy. That the consumer will have limited selection.

US Dairy Alternative Beverages Market Examined in New Up-to-Date Report Published at MarketPublishers.com
London, UK (PRWEB) January 11, 2012
Today a large number of alternative food products carry the potential to enter the U.S. market at a later date on a commercial scale, either through domestic production or importation. The total U.S. retail sales of dairy alternative beverages are estimated to have reached $ 1.33 billion in 2011.
Consumers choose plant-based dairy alternative beverages for numerous reasons. Health issues including lactose intolerance, milk allergy, and the genetic disorder phenylketonuria (PKU) can be addressed through the consumption of dairy alternative beverages because these plant-based milks are free of animal proteins, in particular casein. Currently, the most commonly known and popular of the commercial plant milks is soymilk. Following in consumer recognition and consumption are almond milk, rice milk and coconut milk, in that order of preference.
New market research report “Dairy Alternative Beverages in the U.S.: Soy Milk, Almond Milk, Rice Milk and other Dairy Milk Alternatives” provided by Packaged Facts has been recently published by Market Publishers Ltd.
