   For example the RICO Act was passed in the '70s under Nixon, to go after the mob. Nixon also signed the Omnibus Crime Control Act. These were powerful, but Nixon didn't really know how to use them to their full extent. It's like they knew how to make fiber optic cable in the '70s, but only used it to make lamps!🙂

   Reagan and Biden supercharged these Acts for the war on drugs, with increased sentencing, asset forfeiture, and more incarceration capacity. Like data center fiber.😮
