I feel like there is a lot of context lost in this quote without pointing out that it's being said by a union dock worker to a lobbyist he has been paying to bribe politicians with money earned from smuggling prostitutes and heroin into Baltimore for an international crime syndicate.

Is the dock worker's union struggling because he's been paying the lobbyists or are they struggling because everyone else was?
