“One way or another, almost everyone has Miami gold in their pockets, portfolios or jewelry boxes.”
If anyone feels guilty about this, I will gladly take any and all off of your wrists, necks, ears and fingers or out of your pockets or portfolios, free of charge. ;)
I guess I’ve known for-ever that diamonds and PMs were tainted, but according to the Socialist Democrat Party, I’m an awful person just for being a ConservaTarian, anyway, so...Meh!
Sadly, all of my guns, ammo and coins were lost in a tragic boating accident...off the coast of Florida a few years back. ;)
An emotionally driven rant.
People go where there is opportunity.
People would not go to these illegal mines if they did not see opportunity there.
If the mines are being used for money-laundering, there is a good chance they pay better.
So, now we have ‘Blood Diamonds’, ‘Terrorist Tanzanite’, and ‘Narco Gold’.......................
I lived in South Florida during the Cocaine Wars of the late 70s early 80s. It was one reason I left.
The money in circulation was so tainted that every dollar bill you could come into contact with would test positive for cocaine......................
.....or get beat over the head and wake up with no teeth!...............
I’m in South Beach right now. Somebody’s definitely smuggling something with all the Rolls, Bentleys, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris I’m seeing up and down the boulevard.
Yes, it’s called ‘MONEY’..................
I guess I’ll pass on that new set of grillz then. I don’t want to support the drug lords or posion the rainforest.

You do that. But don’t worry about poisoning the rain forest, the drug cartels will have it all chopped down and sold for timber to build homes before that happens.
“The money in circulation was so tainted that every dollar bill you could come into contact with would test positive for cocaine.”
Still is, everywhere.
Why do we have to be responsible for cleaning up absolutely everything..??
Oh, for crying out loud..!
This is the government equivalent of the Whole Foods payment kiosk scenario, in which instead of simply selling your food in return for money, they ask a bunch of gratuitous, activist questions like, if you want to contribute to 10 different causes.
I hate that.
no one screaming..?
okay, no crime, jeez..!
It makes my LibTard sister INSANE that I hold investments here. I can’t WAIT to tell her about her tainted jewelry. Hey! That’s what Big Sisters are FOR, Right? *SMIRK*

“VICEX, as the ticker implies, holds a basket of stocks specializing in alcoholic beverages, tobacco, gaming and defense/aerospace industries — commonly referred to collectively as ‘sin stocks.’”
Can’t argue with a 15% return now, can ya?
Poor girl, she’s gonna have to divest herself of all that tainted gold......................just wait till you tell her about illicit chocolate.............
I might have to invest there myself after a bit of research.
The Vice Fund has been good to me!
I’ll need a few crumbs to get started on that one.
This coming paycheck should finally reflect whatever tax things happen to me.
Hoping for ample crumbs for you! :)
I’d bet if you scratch the surface you will find cricket politicians.
