So, you're saying I should dump my Zeta stock? That it's a bubble about to burst? /s
It depends on what you mean by “cartel.” One thing is for certain, a large portion of the drug trafficking that used to be done by Americans 5 years ago has been taken over by Mexicans. That is a fact. I live on the Canadian border and the smuggling traffic around here is heavily Mexican now.
As long as there is a demand, there will be a chain of activity (production, transport, wholesale and retail distribution, finance and collections, security, political contributions, public relations etc.)all designed to get the desired product into the hands of willing consumers. Without the decadent demand, there would be no “drug trade”.
“The Post interviewed local officials in more than a dozen cities who said they were surprised to learn that the federal government had documented cartel-related activity in their communities.”
What the Post didn’t say is that the “officials” they spoke to were the Librarians and Dog Catchers.
