Better the devil you know, ...... than the devil you don't know?
Honor amongst thieves, to preclude bigger thieves?
Little fish are just fishfood for the bigger fish, who in turn are just food for the sharks?
But yet here we all are, thrashing and wailing about, defying the odds, hoping to at least surive, perhaps even hoping to grow up to be a big fish.
Of course the markets are corrupt. The big fish and the sharks want it that way.
