Why does the city of Memphis have such BUMPY roads on the street? It is arguably undeniable that there are a lot of ‘low quality’ of local people in and around the city of Memphis and Shelby County of Tennessee. There are historical and cultural reasons about that. It is a well-known fact that the city of Memphis has serious issues about violent crime or gun violence.
However, it is NOT a well-known fact or is unknown element that Memphis and Shelby County, TN have very serious issues or horrible crime which are originated from or connected with white-collar crime and hybrid crime.
Both of such gun violence and white-collar crime are serious cancers in Memphis and Shelby County. Violent criminals on the street in and around Memphis are not the only problems. Corrupt local governments, their corrupt employees, crooked lawyers and corrupt judges are really unknown serious problems here. They are really low quality of local people, too. And There are historical and cultural reasons about that, too.
That’s why Memphis has bumpy roads on the street, and the Memphians have been suffering from such uneven or non-smooth roads. That’s because both visible and invisible infrastructure has been damaged. One of the invisible infrastructure is the rule of the law. And the other invisible infrastructure is government integrity.
Corrupt judges, crooked lawyers, and corrupt government employees have been destroying or damaging such invisible infrastructure.
