Sicily is very poor for Europe and the DR is doing quite well for Latin America, but Sicily is still much richer than the DR.

Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Not the same genes. Haiti is ~90% sub-Saharan African, the DR closer to 40%.
I expect there's some genetic variance east to west across Germany as well, though Communism was obviously the larger influence.

And the Mafia was not a low IQ business.
Eh, the Mafia is like Wal-Mart. A few pretty bright guys on top, a whole bunch of morons doing most of the work.

It seems like late-19th/early-20th century migration to America might have been roughly a quarter of the population of Sicily, which (assuming they were non-random, which seems obvious) could certainly be expected to have an effect. On the other hand, Sicily was poor before and poor after, so who knows?

Chevalier actually spent a good deal of time policing the internal chat channels and making complaints against wrongthinkers. At one point he was going after people (partially successfully) for asking the wrong kind of questions at the "TGIF" company presentations from the founders and upper management. I suspect his firing was mostly because many of those on his side realized he would turn on them sooner rather than later.
This is known as "having been thrown into the pit".
