The Men of Lawlessness were quietly enthusiastic about their recent accomplishments.

Removed Regulations, Cursed Checks and Balances, Obfuscated Openness

"We've removed many of those pesky regulations, disabled those dumb checks and balances, and held secret meetings with the captains of industry. Drat! There are still some laws and regulations we haven't trashed yet, or human rights we didn't take away. But you know we're working hard taking requests."

Love of the Marketplace

Their love of the marketplace has partially come to fruition, in a very big way.

Mastering Monopolization

"We are rapidly moving towards our monopolization of the world and putting everything in our control. Our pretend religiosity has faked out both the Hyper Conservative Congregation AND the Holier Than Thou Congregation.

Companies They Keep

"We're hearing reports that our three favorite companies, Out of the Earth Inc., Out of the Sea Inc., and Mystery Inc. are downsizing their lowly laborers. This is sure to make their earnings jump, and the market jump for joy."
