  • Are you actually asking someone to prove that large darknet market drug dealers use money laundering to safely access their profits?

    It sounds like what you really want is someone to explain to you how it's done successfully...if you're that desperate to learn, take it to Dread and off Lemmy.

  • Tate isn't smart, but he isn't stone stupid either.

    If he hasn't burned all of his connections to organized crime, he might be able to get backdated paperwork and legitimate papertrails for many of his assets.

    Or maybe he's smarter then I'm giving him credit for and he already took measures to launder, or otherwise legitimize the money used for his most valuable assets.

  • Prescription opiates and stimulants aren't expensive, when you have a valid prescription.

    If this article was about the problem of counterfeit cancer drugs, or other non-narcotic medications, it would be a different situation, but that's not what the discussion is about.

    While I ultimately believe that drugs should be decriminalized and legalized, that's not where we're at.

    So, if I was an active drug user and in Mexico, I'd prefer to get counterfeit narcotics that actually contain narcotics, and not ground up Zoloft or sugar pills.

    I'd also trust the QA at shady cartel run Mexican pharmacy more than the average addict dealer in the states. Not a lot more, but enough to know which I'd prefer.

  • The Democrats could've unfucked the USPS whenever they had power, but they didn't, because they love the neoliberal death spiral it's been sent on. Just like how they could have undone any of the tax cuts, raised capital gains, or the made college debt dischargeable through bankruptcy again.

  • Sounds like an improvement, depending on how you look at it. Having experience with these types pharmacies going back decades, most used to just fill fake schedule II bottles with placebos, or worse, random Schedule III pills.

    If you're already copping, or trying to, illegal prescription narcotics in Mexico, you probably already know what you're in for. You want to get high and you don't have a doctor's prescription.

    Not saying this is good, just that it's probably not surprising or unexpected to the people most impacted by it.

  • The difference between negligence and gross negligence is quite significant, and contextually dependent.

    This family lives near the border in a rural desert, which is typically flat, open, and sparsely populated.

    ATVs are a pretty common way to get around, even for younger kids, and so is target shooting.

    Poor choices were clearly made (negligence), but nothing either party did was done with a reckless indifference and disregard for life or property (gross negligence). At least, assuming no other facts come out that significantly alter what was said in the article.

    If this same incident occurred in the middle of an urban, or even suburban, city with a medium to high population density, then it would be grossly negligent to have kids on ATVs, or to shoot .22 caliber air rifles.

    Context matters.
