Even a clay doll can be scraped to yield three layers of oil from you.
Take those regular folks who just want to change their surroundings, they have some money in their pockets, these people have the capacity to spend.
Those who come to join the gangs spend even more when they get their hands on cash.
And unlike those traditional local gangs, these new guys indulge in retaliatory consumption that makes the related service providers grin from ear to ear.
Even those who have nothing, even the homeless, the government has to pass order after order to these private companies, to ensure their survival.
If the black folks get a few hundred dollars in aid, how could they not spend to keep living?
A few hundred dollars is still money, after all.
As for the darker types.
They themselves are money.
So, despite governmental opposition and public dissatisfaction, the capitalists and the criminals are having a blast.
