        Maybe they mean the monopoly they created with privatisation? Which makes me wonder what the red money is? Blood covered?

        Monopoly has been analysed. Park Lane (or Park Place or whatever) is a lousy investment: expensive to buy slow to pay back.

        Maybe some of them do play: those expensive properties can bankrupt the other players if you already have most of the money.
