This Is How You Lose the Tariff War

[Neveragain]

The Mexican drug industry only exists because Americans have a huge demand for cheap drugs due to our insane lack of a work-life balance, poverty, and an inability to afford medical care that's not just drugs. Americans drive over the border, buy cheap mass-produced opioids from the cartels, drive it back over in the trunk of their 2020 Honda Civics, and sell it to other Americans for a profit. immigrants, who are largely FLEEING cartel violence, bring almost none of it. 0.02% of th asylum seekers detained at the border were carrying ANY kind of opioid, and most of it was for personal use.
the American opioid and fentanyl crises are demand-side, not supply-side, and the best policies to address it are those that address the root cause of the demand. support universal healthcare, mandatory sick and injury pay nationwide, and anything else materially shown to increase worker quality of life. that affects finance, that affects the economy, and it affects you. finance is politics.

Maybe you’ll learn something but honestly I doubt it.

Oh and added for good measure.

"70% the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours." - President Sheinbaum to Trump.


You do realize it was The US government gave the Sinaloa cartel guns to try and pick a winner to the cartel war because they thought it would be easier to fight one cartel as opposed to several cartel. Those guns have killed politicians, police, military, and civilians throughout Mexico.


Wanna stop drugs? Stop the demand for it. As long as thereis a demand, it’ll never stop coming.

Do you even Opium wars, bro?

Keep believing the "it's the addicts that are the problem" line of bullshit. It's the same line of shit they used back during the Clinton era while they were pumping the market full of cocaine.

You're just going to have to mow your own lawn and the wife may have to scrub some toilets. You will be fine.
