In the world of big money, corporations and government agencies - one tends to find that, strangely enough, those working at the top of government agencies often happen to find themselves with places on the boards of those corporations when they retire.
I'm sure it's all above board and I am just a cynic...

I think that you will find that most elected officials do not end up working for corporate jail corporations in any capacity.
Nor does your implied suggestion have anything to do with my comment.

Of course to imply that anyone with power and influence would ever use that as a lever for power in the future would be the most cynical proposition to ever make, an implication which I would never dare to impute on anyone...

Which still has nothing to do with revenue and costs.

A bloke in the UK was found guilty of something along the lines of interfering with police business for warning drivers about a speed camera van a year or two back.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

You fast car folks probably need this a little more than us Honda/Toyota drivers.

This was very common in Massachusetts in the 80s. I didn't know people still did it!

The fact this had to go to court shows how far out of hand some police officers are at this time.

Don't answer the phone! In fact, take it off the hook...and be prepared to run

I made a batch of this for the office, on request.
It went faster than the bacon brittle. I couldn't stand it. But the girls in front office loved it.
Gotta make sure you get as much grease off the bacon as reasonable. It ends up making things a bit messy otherwise.

Is it good?

It looks like too much work. I'd just each the chocolate while waiting for the bacon to cook, then eat that too.

That's like eating flour, then yeast, then sugar, and salt. Then drinking water.
Alternatively, you could just wait a bit and slice the bread instead...
