What if there is no field to talk about ? Most people cannot believe that some part of science are not as advanced as others. But there are good reasons, nobody care enough to throw enough money at tit. Look at obesity in the US, if someone

Never heard of such kind of corruption in western Europe. You never call a tow truck directly, you call your insurance which has a register of tow trucks and body shop. If any would overprice regularly, it would be out of the register. The
