I dunno about that... The mob isn't like it was in Sicily. Sure, back in the 1900s up until the 60s they had a use which was to protect the Italians from crooked cops, irish thugs, etc. But what would be a more correct way of wording it is dying for your business, since that's really what it is. Killing in the name of that office by the window!

There's no love for anyone there, maybe two people you'd be loyal two in your life time but it all amounts to killing your way up. And they don't even keep their neighboorhoods clean anymore, they sell drugs on them too

So no, I wouldn't ever get in with them unless it was anywhere from the 20s - 60s. But they're still good friends to have
