It is understandable that Reuben has a deep grudge against Protestants and the Irish, and it is certain that there are many people in the United States today who harbor such resentment, such as those from all over the world.

Newcomers have a long-standing resentment towards Protestants, and in fact, the Protestants in this case are not really Protestants, but those who first came to the United States and saw themselves as authentic Americans, to put it bluntly, are actually conservatives and their representative party, the Republican Party. These conservative forces resist and ostracize immigrants, advocate stricter restrictions on immigration, and even expel those new immigrants from the United States.

As for the resentment of the Irish, it still exists more in big cities such as New York, Boston, and Chicago, because in these big cities, the Irish are very powerful, they are vested interests, and they occupy a large piece of the cake, so it is normal to attract envy.

In New York, for example, since William Mooney founded the Tammony Society in 1789, after more than a century of development, this charitable society, which was once mainly dedicated to assisting Irish immigrants, has become the core of power in the whole of New York. The association manipulates local elections, controls municipal administration, and props up gangs in New York, and its tentacles are almost ubiquitous.

Since the fifties of the nineteenth century, almost every mayor of New York has been elected by it, and it is precisely with its support that the local Democratic Party in New York has firmly controlled the votes in New York for a century, and the Republicans have no votes here. It is up to this association to decide who will win the mayoral election, who will become the chief of police, who will get the status of a legislature, who will control which dock, and which gang will control which territory in New York.

In 1910, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had just entered the political arena, was young and vigorous, and he became the vanguard of opposition to the Tammony Society because he was disgusted with the Tammony Society's style, so he was easily defeated by James Gerrard, who was supported by the Tammony Society, in the Democratic Party primary for the 1913 U.S. Senate election. This lesson was unforgettable for Roosevelt, and in the end, he had to bow to the association, which became a big stain on him.

That's right, this is the Tammony Society, a powerful political machine that has always been in the hands of the Irish, and in New York, it is a well-known existence.

Since the death of Charles Merlin five years ago, Jimmy Hines has become the owner of the Tammony Society, which has been in decline, but even so, it still has a firm grip on New York's municipal administration. The current mayor of New York, Jimmy Walker, a songwriter and composer, was given the throne of mayor by this association, and every judge, prosecutor, and auditor in New York is controlled by this association, and of course, powerful departments such as the police department are still under its control.

Think about it, with such an organization that is closely related to the Irish and notorious, how can the Irish not be hated?

However, in Adele's opinion, it didn't really matter if he was hated or not, and he didn't mind dealing with the organization more if he could get tangible benefits.

With the roster of union members obtained from Morrity, the money laundering was half done for Adair, and the rest of the work was hardly difficult except for a little trouble.

In fact, when laundering this money, Adel only used the money laundering methods commonly used by the RB gangsters in later generations: using a large number of delinquent teenagers to open bank accounts, and then dividing large amounts of black money into small amounts of cash, depositing them into these accounts, and then transferring them to a centralized account, in fact, using a large number of bank accounts to dilute huge amounts of cash of unknown origin.

Now, Adel has $200,000 in black gold in his hands, and if he deposits this money directly into an account, it will definitely attract the attention of others, which will lead to the exposure of black money. Now, Adair can use the social security numbers of union members on the roster to register more than 400 personal accounts with several banks, spread the $200,000 and deposit only $500 into each account. Think about it, who cares about a stranger who has $500 in deposits, and who cares where that $500 in cash goes?

Of course, in later generations, such an approach would not be very safe, after all, banking supervision was much stronger at that time, but in New York today, in the United States today, there is no problem at all.

Today's Ruben is absolutely 100% attentive to what Adair has explained, and it only took him half an afternoon to select a good man for Adele. There are 30 people in total, all of whom are well-informed and can be trusted.

The next day, in just one day, Adair used these manpower to apply for 400 accounts in more than 40 banks, large and small, in New York, and at the same time, each account was deposited with cash ranging from $300 to $600. On the third day of the transfer, the funds scattered in each account were pooled into 10 accounts set up by different banks, and finally withdrawn in the form of cheques.

At this point, a $200,000 black money has been laundered into a clean check, and next, Adel will invest it in the stock market, trying to earn back the money paid to Morlif, and perhaps, make more.

.................................

With his back against the window, Adel held a newspaper in both hands, quietly reading the contents of the newspaper.

In the newspapers of the past two days, they have focused on the same thing, that is, the general strike of cattle farm workers in Kansas, which first occurred the day before yesterday in Wichita, Kansas, but what is surprising is that this general strike, which was originally attended by only more than 1,000 people, has spread rapidly, and in just two days, it has spread to the entire territory of Kansas, and has begun to spread to Oklahoma, Colorado, South Dakota and other states.

According to today's newspaper report, as of yesterday afternoon, nearly 200,000 livestock workers had participated in the strike, and countless ranches in Kansas were all affected.

In New York, the price of milk skyrocketed from 76 cents a gallon to $1.24 a gallon, nearly doubling in price in two days. At the same time, there are also meat products such as fresh beef and ham, but the price increase is not as exaggerated as milk.

You know, the past few years have been a few years of rapid economic development in the United States, and economic development means an increase in prices, but the problem is that the wages of these ranch workers have never been raised, and they still earn the same salary as seven years ago.

What's more, many farms in Kansas have recently begun to adopt more advanced packing lines, which means that in the short term, a large number of workers responsible for haying, seasoning and raising cattle will be laid off by ranches everywhere and become unemployed.

The sense of crisis weighed on the nerves of the workers, which, combined with the discontent that had accumulated over the years, led to a massive wave of strikes.

If it were an ordinary person, when he saw the news in the newspaper, he would probably only sigh for those workers, or take it as an after-dinner conversation, and perhaps tomorrow morning, this matter will be forgotten in the clouds. But for Adair, he saw something much more and deeper.

The economy has been developing rapidly for several years, but the income of industrial workers has not increased, which means that in the United States, the actual consumption power of the general population, which accounts for the vast majority of the population, has not increased with economic development. The abundance of goods that comes with increased productivity doesn't do anything for them, because they can't afford anything.

In addition, the adoption of new scientific and technological achievements saves manpower in various production links, and saving manpower means that many jobs that were once operated by people are no longer needed, and those who originally worked in this position will naturally be unemployed.

On the one hand, there is an increase in productivity and a great abundance of products; on the other hand, workers have been laid off, the number of unemployed has risen sharply, and the real consumption power of the general population has been sluggish; on the other hand, the fundamentals of the economy seem to be good, even superior, and banks dare to lend, even without restraint, and those who are confused by the sound economic situation also dare to borrow large amounts to invest.

The combination of these three problems will inevitably lead to an economic crisis caused by overproduction. In other words, the U.S. economy, which seems to be good at the moment, is actually on the verge of collapse, but no one can detect it yet.

Standing in front of the window on the second floor, looking into the distance, through the gaps in the high-rise buildings, you can see that the sky above the entire city is shrouded in clouds, and the heavy sense of depression is like the American economy that no one can see clearly.

As a successful person in the financial industry in his previous life, Adair is more sensitive to economic problems, not to mention the memories of his previous life as a foreshadowing, even if he doesn't, he can also detect the clues revealed in various news and sensitively perceive the problems.

Of course, Adel didn't think about saving the American economy that had fallen on the edge of the cliff, he didn't have the ability, what he wanted to do now was just to make more money before the crisis came, he could only save himself, of course, maybe the few people around him.

"Adele, our formalities have been approved!" Just in the silence, Bella's excited shout came from outside the living room, "Our agency has been approved!"
