MAFIA COMPLAINS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF TODAY’S YOUNG THUGS

Authorities on the Italian island of Sicily have been stepping up operations against the local mafia. One of their tools has been wiretaps, where they discovered mafia dons complaining about the poor quality of young mafia recruits. Giancarlo Romano, an alleged mafia don, was recorded saying, “The caliber these days is low, a miserable level.” He said that new kids were too quick to turn “pentito” – or state’s witness – as soon as they were arrested. He told one young recruit: “You should go to school – that way you will meet doctors, lawyers, the people who run Italy, Europe. If you watch ‘The Godfather,’ the connections he had… he was very influential because of the power that he built at a political level. But us – what can we do? We used to be number one, now it’s others… we’re just gypsies.”
* And the kid replied, “OK, boomer.”
* These kids today, they don’t know how to extort, they don’t know how to loan shark. Racketeering? Fuhgeddaboudit.
* They can’t even spell ‘Consigliere,’ much less know what one is.
* Maybe they’d be more excited if they got paid in crypto?
* It’s a whole new world if organized crime. Instead of bustin’ a kneecap, these kids make you watch TikTok dance videos ’til you pay up.
