Mexican Forces Seize 500 Kilos of Meth, Thousands of Fentanyl Pills in Blow to Sinaloa Cartel

1. For every kilo they seize, 1000 reach the market.

   It is not a supply problem, it is a demand one. As long as there is demand, someone will always be selling it.

2. “The Mexican government has increased efforts to target drug cartels following threats and sanctions from the Trump administration”

   Straight from the Latin Times mouth!
   Not all of Trumps policies are well-perceived (I don’t blame you..)
   But he is the first president in history to actually start taking care of the rampant drug problem.

   It’s undeniable, and it’s only the first year.
   The numbers havent even fully come out yet.

3. $3 million is not a significant blow to the Sinaloa Cartel. I would hazzard this is just a symbolic gesture at best, and more likely an arrangement with the cartel to make it look like the Mexican government is actually doing something while actually turning a blind eye to their more profitable operations.

4. For the same reason that prohibition was a failure – the use and production of alcohol (and drugs) persists, the black market of exchange flourishes, and what would be a massive amount of government tax revenue is lost.

   Legalization was the answer yesterday. This puritanically motivated crusade against impurity has already done massive damage to our social fabric.

5. “Single semi truck filled with groceries crashed in blow to Wal Mart”. Sigh.

   Who wrote this piece? 500 keys of meth and thousands of pills? That’s not the head stash that’s a single shipment.
