January 22nd, 0097: Stocks in the Zimmad Corporation have gone down by 5% today, following the military's decision to halt its purchase of the company's latest mobile armor. The unnamed mobile armor has been rumored to have been in development for the past 6 years, and would've been worth roughly $150 million.

Side 3 wrote:Well the definition of gang is "an organized group of criminals," so I'd say that answers the question of whether or not they exist/what they are. And yes, they are a problem. Although a lot of people try to paint gangs as "families," they're not. They're like an abusive spouse. They'll exploit you and use you, and then throw you away when you're no longer useful. But unfortunately, a lot of the people in them come crawling back because they don't have anyone else to turn to. So yes, they are always a problem, and one that really needs to be dealt with.

Resilient Acceleration wrote:Well, depends. In my country, many street thugs and gang members are eventually recruited by local or religious unions and become a "non-governmental organization". Usually they either become (1) an organized, government-approved racketeering group that are allowed to extort local businesses in exchange for their participation in upholding public order, (2) an organized thug group owned by political interests, usually religious, (3) both, or (4) recruited directly into local police corps whose task is to do local governments' dirty job such as evicting illegal slums standing in the way of real estate interests.
The rest would depend on the crime they're involved in, and dealt with accordingly. Drug traffickers, but also motor gangs, vehice robbery groups, etc.

Still, in most cases, poverty levels and social mobility is directly related to the prevalence of criminal gang activity, so 'curing' the latter can only be done if we cure the former.
