Hi Joyce who has taken a break from his drug trafficking to be here today and Connor.

Hello?

I just re-sporned.

Who has come as a G.

A character, I think?

Yeah, basically. I realize I bought a new suit and then I accidentally became someone from Miami Vice, so I'm just rolling with it.

So what we're actually going to be talking about is general stuff about the organized crime industry, the sort of geographical locations,

how much each industry is worth, as well as some general economic principles that apply to them in

interesting ways. And actually, after doing a bit of digging

was quite surprised at some of the outcomes that it can actually be quite positive and

I'm going to take off my sunglasses so I can actually see. I quite like mine so I'm going to, I'm going to stick to them.

In fact, I'm quite keen to talk about organised crime because it's right up my street because I've long felt

that central banking is probably the top tier organized crime closely followed by government.

Are they on the list?

Well, as quite a libertarian person, I would wholeheartedly agree that the biggest group of organized

criminals are politicians. It has to be said at the start of course

that the government is a mafia by other means isn't it in that they're extorting

money protection money at fret of arrest

central bankers are just counterfeiters

yeah exactly i think that's a bit disparaging to the mafia actually
