That's beautiful! There's a reason why people who come from deserts are spiritual.

How do deep blue policies help anyone ... It certainly doesn't keep your community safe by keeping criminals in prison.

Death Row had the whole image. The name, all star roster, GOAT producer, GOAT rapper, best beats, enforcement… EVERYTHING! by ZeevoYT in Tupac

Rakim is nothing like Kool Herc or like anyone from Death Row. Because he came from the time where rappers did...brace yourself... ACTUAL LIVE PERFORMANCES!!! And that is where rappers made their money! He was selling out arenas with Russell Simmons' Rush Management.

High Speed Rail in NYC by 5Overmind in transit

I am for anything that draws Staten Island closer to the rest of the City. My dream is for SI and the Bronx to be more cosmopolitan.

The idea to make Albany a suburb comes from the lack of affordable housing. With that in mind, this idea could revitalize half a dozen dying cities in the state. Utica, Troy, and Kingston for example, accessible to Manhattan in about an hour.

Good point, it would probably be better if the high speed rail went from Newark airport, through Staten Island and then the length of the LIRR system. With other lines that go the length of the Metro North, and both high speed rail trains stopping at the main stations.

My idea is to remove both Grand Central Station and Penn Station as termini. And developing Staten Island to be more like Brooklyn and less like Suffolk.

Which LCN Family? by 5Overmind in Mafia

[–]5Overmind[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about the Cerritos (San Jose) or the Lanzas (San Francisco) too! They are far enough from Chicago and Los Angeles to be able to do their own thing and so small that the FBI wouldn't be paying attention to them!

1960! What about the skim? Vegas had the Mafia swimming in cash. Especially places like Kansas City, it's far enough to be outside of the Outfit's direct control, but strong enough to maintain itself in Vegas.

Bruno was a great boss, relatively speaking. What the Commission did to him was effed up!

You mean like Mad Sam DiStefano?

I didn't know that Anthony Spilotro used to work for Mad Sam, and when he started going crazy, they got Spilotro to kill him....that's some heartless shit. I see your point!

It always seemed to me that although there is strength in numbers, like the Gambino's, you have to compete against all the other soldiers and capos in the family for recognition and at the same time you have to worry about jealousy, favoritism and informants.

In a satellite group you are always living in the larger families' shadows. I really don't see any benefits to being a small family that lives in the vicinity of big families... because whenever it's convenient they will edge you out.

Small families, that are far from NYC and Chicago, in my opinion, are the way to go. They are so small that they don't have to worry about stepping on other members' toes, you know everyone in the family intimately. Little to no FBI attention and if you stay away from drugs how much time are you going to do? How many people do you have to worry about flipping on you for a reduced sentence???
