No, organized crime didn’t go away. It just went to Vegas, which was once a cool town and has since turned all corporate. One thing the mob does really, really well is run businesses, be they governmental or private. And, it does give an example of what organized crime does when it can’t make money on booze or drugs (illegally, that is).
Nothing is perfect. If we could stop all abuse of humans right now, this very minute? It’d be back in play again before sunup. Because, evil greedy bastards and desperate people (neither position works without the other).
But, by the same token, one hopes that principled humans would be back on their game by sunup, too. You do what you can…because. And somewhere in between those two extremes are all the people who have other stuff to do (or claim that they do). You still do what you can. Because some of us choose who we’re gonna be. And nothing’s likely to change that, either. Not that complicated. You just pick one, or not.
