It’s an interesting comparison with Canada. I dont follow the Canada stuff that closely but Canada they are heavily involved in drugs right? Whereas in the US they have avoided being the leader in that business likely to their own financial loss. Drugs being a worldwide criminal business and so volatile and competitive it has consistently had a lot of murder. In Canada is it Italian groups killing each other or are there multiple ethnic/general crime groups involved? I assume multiple Like I said its the businesses that the mob is involved in here that plays a role in them choosing the way they conduct business. Look at guys like Tommy Pitera. He was a stone cold killer because he was involved in the drug trade at a very intense and stressful level. Yea and where has he been stuck since the 80s lol…

I mean lets be realistic, are we really gonna do this shit and have these headaches making decisions that are going to put us in prison within 5-10 years? I'll be smart enough to be involved in rackets that they would need a shitload of evidence to put me away. Murder and drugs are off limits in my opinion if I'm thinking about this with a clear head.

Yea and that’s my interest in the future of it. If that’s the way they are going and continue to go then what are they? Trying to become the Freemasons? I think there always will have to be an element of seediness/criminality for them to be what they are. But if they just become a bunch of legitimate guys going to work, can they survive as an entity or will it just die a death? I imagine the latter particularly as the “pure blood” Italian pool will only get more depleted than it already is but they are in a strange position right now. To be a criminal enterprise really they gotta get involved in drugs (I can’t think of any other major illegal rackets unless they start recruiting computer nerds to hack)
