its n ot always easy to tell the difference between the govt and the mafia.. Roll Eyes

There is no difference between the government and the mafia, they both use the exact same business model.

Not quite ... the mafia is much better at turning a profit than any govt. will ever be.

That's basically what I just said lmao Grin

With the Italian Government Debt to GDP ratio being around 132% & actual Debt therefore at around US$2.83 TRILLION, the recent Italian drug busts, of a few BILLION, are a little shy of solving the Italian Debt problem!

I had an uncle who was found wearing those boots in the bottom of a lake bordering with Switzerland ... we suspect he overheard something he shouldn't have because they removed his ears.

But what can we do?

We can't die just because the Italian govt is not as well organised or financially competent as the Mafia.
