Title: There's A lot more hustling/non-violent crime like Fraud, drug dealing, etc in a bad economy? If so, do a lot of people get away with it?
in the 20s and 30s the Great Depression which some would argue is very similar to what's happening now, plus we're also living in times similar to WW II as we're fighting worldwide with many countries a foe small in # (not the 3 governements making up the WW II axis, but instead one common foe-Covid-19)
In the 20's and 30's during the great depressiion there were lots of bank robberies
in the 20's and 30's there were people also hustling by running rum / and other liquor, this hustle resulted from the Volstead Act that put prohibition into force
but what really gave rise to this hustle was being in dismal economic times from the great depression
and although bank robberies aren't non-violent crimes...they were done as farmers owning land had their land notes and mortgages foreclosed on banks, so people justified robbing banks on that level
the FBI is getting those involved in the Capitol riots and making them pay with jail / prison time etc., although many have made bail, which is something that probably wouldn't happen if the times weren't so hard? but the FBI does that because they were violent crimes against persons and property and caused lots of property damage and real palpable fear of a threat to life & limb among the lawmakers inside that building when the attack happened
There was a major shipment seized in Chicago's O'Hare airport in January 2021 of a whole bunch of gear from Lithuania destined for the final destination of New Mexico
What's the deal with that?? You'd figure with a worldwide Pandemic, these Customs Border Patrol officers would a) be short staffed b) not have as much time and resources to stop juice coming in c) give a hustler who's out of work a break?
*How many of you members think that if there's a best time to do a white collar, non-violent, victimless crime and either get away with it or to get a slap on the wrist as far as probation or other leniency, now would be to do it?
like invest in an ounce of powder coke to sell quickly because you have a reliable buyer / friend asking?
Just a little bit of philosophy that has practical purposes...
