Chicago is a silly little city compared to New York. The “5-Families” will dispose of Barky and the Chicago “Outfit” and be back in New York in time for coffee and cannoli.
I think Chicago is the center of RIP power. This region is fully empowered to direct national events, with huge chunks of money. Money flowing back to USA, from foreign entities, a portion of many trillion dollars of USA wealth transferred to OPEC and China over some scores of years.
