Their shenanigans usually work. At least to some extent. And unfortunately the bad guys (and YES, I'm deliberately referring to them as "bad guys" - because what they're doing is BAD, and from the statistics I've seen, they do happen to be mostly white male) are REALLY good at weaseling their way around laws, rules, regulations, and more.

WHY CAN'T WE think deviously, and hit them THAT way??? That sure seems to be only way to win anymore.
