Very non-coincidental that Utah has one of the highest concentrations of MLM businesses in the country.

Or the "industry" of "youth treatment" that is centered in Utah. Conversion therapy, etc.

Thousands of allegations stretching decades of abuse, physical, sexual and emotional, federal inquiries.

And still the Utah Office of Licensing rubber stamps its inspections of such facilities:

> analysis by APM Reports and The Salt Lake Tribune reveals that those inspectors almost never find violations. More than 98 percent of the time, they check the box marked "compliant." Across the 670 reports, the data reveals inspectors assessed more than 53,000 items in total. But they documented only 861 deficiencies. That means inspectors determined that treatment programs were noncompliant only 1.6 percent of the time.

> The most common ding? Not having the proper employee paperwork.

You might sit back, "entertained", by California. But pretending like Utah is some utopian vision is equally laughable, or would be if it didn't come at such a high cost.

Perhaps there's a middle ground between Utah and California.
