I have nothing against Pizzaboy, but to quote him as an undeniable source? If he said everyone in the 80s who built in New York had to willingly break the law and consort with mobsters, he's wrong. It's that simple. Trump did so knowingly. He took advantage of the situation. He took the easy way out. Honest builders followed the law and hired the union labor, and reported instances where they believed they were being extorted and overcharged. Justice eventually came, but it took a long time. It usually does. Trump gamed the system. He cheated. It's who he is.
