While it may be a solution to your immediate problem, there can be consequences to developing a "relationship" with those who operate outside the law. (Because now 1) know your identity; 2) know you are to some extent nonchalant about operating within the bounds of the law; 3) know you have money; and 4) now have evidence of your extralegal actions.)
Working to reform suboptimal laws may be difficult, but it is a better investment than handing your money to organized crime.
- freshhawk 5y agoThis is a hard thing to get across to people coming at it from a perspecitve of being higher up on some imaginary natural hierarchy. Also, real organized crime immediately flips on you when people notice their loud obvious daylight crimes and there is blowback.
- chii 5y ago> better investment than handing your money to organized crime it is, but this investment is costly, because it takes a lot of time and effort, with no real guarantee of success, and when you are eventually successful, other people could easily free-ride off your investment (since it's a non-excludable outcome). So what a "rational" actor would do is wait for someone else to expend their resources doing this, while they themselves pay to gangs/organized crime to obtain their own property back in the mean time.
