They'll never investigate if it negatively affects the PTB.
I sometimes wonder if the current system is set up to support 'friendly' organizations who are extorting money from alcohol, firearms, gambling,
credit, gasoline, banking, taxes for wars, and other activities that have the highly dubious yet enforced title of legality attached to it.
The laws are in place to keep a competing organization, usually classified as 'criminal' groups who are taking an unauthorized slice of the profit
pie away from the competing organization(s), otherwise known as 'corporations' or 'banks' or the 'royal families'.
This problem will continue until the day the world ends or until the citizenry chases down crime (legal or illegal) and opens fire on it en
masse in the middle of the street.
