Playing through the latest Yazuka game about the death of the Yakuza, similar to the last of the outlaws in RDR2.

You could just do an FTX and scapegoat 1 person, or be like WeWork and get rich losing money. Not to mention the hundreds of embezzling, politician lobbying companies out there or even the chaebols in Asia.

I grew up in a family who were professional criminals. Nearly all of the first and second generation eventually got into real estate development and the several of the second generation went into tax law. A bunch of other families I knew of got into local politics.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
