Does anyone think it is possible that there will be a 'contolled collapse' with families merging together or will it collapse suddenly (with a big indictment or something else)?
That's plausible. If the recruiting pool finally dries up
that much in twenty years, I can see families merging to keep it Italian, rather than have each individual family getting taken apart by rival ethnic gangs. All for one and one for all. Better than losing out to a bunch of Eastern Europeans, Russians, Asians, Mexicans, and assorted American gangs. But it's way too early to hypothesize such a scenario.
