"Money coming from illegal " businesses " has been flooding the markets with a major impact since the 70's , here in Canada 1998 was a vintage year for laundering money in the order of $100 billion now at the time that was roughly 20% of GDP"

To be honest ... I'm beginning to favour those "launderers" over the "legitimate" businesses (bankers and auto makers) and newspeak driven governments whose greatest interest is to create a wealth shift for the real launderers

The best defense is a good offense ... blame everyone else for operating illegally .. i.e. tax evaders ... prostitutes, gambling industry drug industry (all with legitimate demand ... all of which do not specifically hurt anyone but the providers and the users.

As you point out there is no goodness just depths of understanding.
