And even if that were an extreme minority (and I don't think it is) we should praise them as models instead of resigning ourselves to mediocre businesses using illegal tactics to control a market for super profits.
I'm pretty awful at business because I always fix my mistakes for free and don't hide them behind fake "scope change" arguments that so many other vendors do.

Also I don't think nepotism/giving work to friends is actually criminal in a lot of cases?
In some cases not as much.
It represents the appearance or actuality of kick backs and favoritism for "other" non-business reasons.
Put your mistress on the payroll? Why not! Put your 'can't get a job' brother on the payroll? Why not?!
The "princeling" hire is a classic form of quid pro quo hire - you hire Bidens coke&hookers son, his dad says hi to you on the golf course.
Nothing to see here.
