Yeah, again, have fun writing a law that bans what happened here without fucking up the American legal system even more. This wasn't legally theft.

The childish "I'll make a law" ignores how this problem actually happened. The Pinkertons knew what the law was, and were still able to intimidate by preying on ignorance and going right up to the line of legality.

The solution is simple: don't be ignorant. There's no amount of law that can cure dumb.

Literally not. I said it was immoral and a NAP violation. I just said that from what was said (until the door was forced open source was posted), it was legal. Which, btw, it would have been had that not happened.

I'm aware there are scummy things people can do that can't be practically legally banned. If you aren't, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Yes. Weed should be legal for the same reason alcohol should be legal: banning it has skyrocketed organized crime. Drugs dealers don't deal drugs because they believe in the downfall of the west, they do it because it's profitable. You remove that profitability, and suddenly gang shootouts take a nosedive.

The only reason we beat the mafia was the end of prohibition that made them powerful. It then took us about half a century more to deal with the amount of corruption they had managed to build, just in time for a war on drgus to create a new organized crime.

Yeah and then they’ll just switch to something else, like human trafficking or even worse and more addictive drugs. The cartels and their Ike won’t just disappear and go quietly into the night if you legalize drugs. Unless you want to legalize everything and live in a cesspool.

I can't take them seriously because the party was basically founded by a bunch of rich businessmen allergic to taxes and regulations. Their objective is to gut the government in the name of "my fee-doms!"*

* No, "fee" is not a typo there.

The philosophy is fine. the party however has a very mixed track record to put it mildly. hopefully the mises caucus can straighten them out. I wouldn't hold my breath.

Ackshually based on how it has trended they will go for avocados, human trafficking, and Fentanyl. yes that is right. the cartels make more selling avocados than they do weed at this point.

Not how it works. Each legal drugs hits right into their market share. And again, I'm on the legalize all drugs bandwagon.

It would end fentanyl overdoses overnight, which only exists because of a lack of standardization on drugs (and also the CCP purposely turning a blind eye to the fentanyl trafficking). Label the drugs with something encouraging people to get off of them, and set up support networks.

And there's no moral reason to ban drugs: if someone wants to get high and fuck their life over a) the law doesn't cause much of a barrier, and b) it's their body, not yours or the government's.

As for them spreading out into other illegal activities, they'd try. Just like the mafia did. But eventually a government can cut that down to size as long as there isn't tens of billions in revenue stacked against them.
 


Guy gets accused by his cousin, family disowns him and only after she admitted lying after 10 years they text him to ask how he is doing and that they are sorry.

The cartels already do human trafficking.
They also took over the avocado industry because it is hilariously profitable. due to how healthy avocados are.
So... yea, they are not going anywhere soon.
I mean, the kennedy family started out as illegal alcohol dealers during prohibition and then went into politics.
Being a staple of usa govt ever since.

That being said, just because they will still exist, does not mean it won't be a massive hit to their operations to lose a profitable income stream.
And going legit means they are less harmful overall.

Although giving said income and power to big pharma is pretty awful prospect too

Honestly my problem is with all of the murder and mayhem.

The cartels are basically hilariously over the top murderous thats the problem, if they kept shit low key people wouldn't care nearly as much.
