# Suppose a New York City mafia  began extorting protection money from…

Suppose a New York City mafia began extorting protection money from every ship that docks in the Port of New York.\
\
Would Newark residents benefit by inviting a similar mafia to extort money from the ships docking at the Port of Newark?\
\
Or would Newark residents be better off driving off their local mafia, no matter what happens in NYC?
