"Who is who" in the racketeer business how does it work.
You know the old saying in the restaurant business. A full restaurant will attract customers as one empty one doesn't. Well it is the same for the scum that wants to racket your place: They have no business in an empty place. And yes there is politic inside the "mafia" system or rather hierarchy. You know` the small fish and then later the bigger fish so on so forth. The small fish and the big fish are different and don't play together and so, if you must give, you must recognize the bigger fish. If you give to the small fish then the big one get upset and wants his share as well and it become the never ending story. So basically "don't give" or make sure you give to the right fish.
How to recognize and better categorize those guys.
1st category: The small fish. In France we call them "Trumpets" because they make more noise than they are mean, very much like dogs where the bark is bigger than the beast.
La suite very soon.

It Christmas soon with its usual natural blues or rather unnatural blues
I have stayed at my friends way too long. They just got married and its time to move out and on. I really don't get it, they just got married and they want to enjoy time alone, that is so bizarre.
