Back in the day, there was a New York Mafia family that realized they were second stringers at best. They weren't tough enough to take over gambling, prostitution, narcotics, or any of the other big money deals. Then they realized that everybody needs their garbage picked up. No one was willing to stick their neck out and fight over a garbage route, so they soon had a monopoly on garbage pickups in all five boroughs. The point is, if you're willing to do evil, eventually you'll find a way to make money at it.
