MILK WARS IN NEW YORK…Added:
Forget the casinos. In the 30s, the New York mob moved into milk. Why?
Alcohol is a risk, but milk is a necessity.
It was the perfect legal cash cow.
Gangsters hijacked the transport unions.
No kickback, no delivery.
Refuse to pay? Your truck gets torched, your milk dumped, and your driver hospitalized.
During the Great Depression, the Mafia took a cut of every bottle sold. While family struggled, boss Joe Profaci built an empire on your morning cereal.
It was the ultimate racket, quiet, daily, and ruthless.
Did you know the mob owned your breakfast?
