  • You've got drugs that are relatively small and hard to detect (compared to weed). To smuggle it do you A) Illegally cross the border and get cavity searched if you get caught or B) Just fucking hide it in something. I would imagine the US postal service is likely the biggest fent smuggler around.

    Currently, China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through
    international mail and express consignment operations environment, as well as the main source for all
    fentanyl-related substances trafficked into the United States

  • IT workers and shift bosses at the plant were among those charged, as well as security guards and outsiders not directly involved with the company.

    It sounds like they're taking down the whole corrupt nest and will likely land some bystanders that "knew but didn't say" about the diversion.

  • That honestly doesn't matter. You can't fix it by their metrics as long as minorities exist. They don't NEED it to be an actual problem. The fact that currently the federal government is in actuality failing to handle refugees is just a bonus.

  • Going to add to this, the confusion comes from people saying something is a tax wire off as being a good thing. That confusion comes from the fact that a tax write off is essentially a "discount" compared to paying for something out of your own pocket post tax. You're essentially buying it for whatever percent cheaper you tax rate is. This is good if it's something that you gain value from, but bad if it's something like a wasted investment (though that gets complicated when you start actually assigning percentages to an investment's potential return as you hedge it, that's so far outside of my wheelhouse that it might as well be on the moon).
