What? You can't possibly be serious...

Economical diversity, overall wealth, stability, reliability and a strict administration are the main factors that separate top-tier families from all the other mob "leftovers".

Not guns. Not anymore.

Besides, Philly has once again shown how messy and amateurish can become when there's no one keeping all those hoods in line.

If Bellomo says jump, they better reply "how high?".
