"criminals have gained control of all the institutions both public and private"
Gee, I wish I were one of those criminals in charge, so that I could reap the profits.

Or maybe the problem isn't with the criminals themselves but with a system which rewards "optimizing profits" at others' expense. I don't btw think that it has been much different since civilization set root thousands of years ago...

Cheers, Dom
