Mexican Influencer Is Shot Dead During a Livestream

I worked that industry for close to a decade we made a lotta money off of people problems... as the old saying goes
“See, if you look at the drug war from a purely economic point of view, the role of the government is to protect the drug cartel. That’s literally true.”
- Milton Friedman
Look at all these empires built around people problems, why do people do what they do? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_law_enforcement_in_the_United_States
there is no way they want to put themselves out of business.
I used to ask - why don't we go after the big stuff, cause the small stuff builds the stats which means more funding and that's what counts.

There has to be a motive to this as a deflection/deception tactic/strategy

Trump got his goods pirate style https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/02/business/venezuela-oil-trump biden tried too https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/07/biden-venezuela-oil-russia/ 300B bbl of oil there, but heavy oil.

as if trump cares about cartels all that much https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2019/09/trumps-mob-connections/176871/ the dirt goes back some ways https://globalnews.ca/news/11079849/the-trump-family-fortune-hotel-brothel/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBuIwxKrSO0 how many dead bodies are in the hudson from bad real estate deals gone bad? https://www.grunge.com/471586/heres-how-many-dead-bodies-have-been-found-in-the-hudson/

When I was in Belize I asked - how does the war on drugs. The locals would say - as long as there is demand there will be supply we're not paying to stop the flow that's for sure. Even this group is in on it https://insightcrime.org/news/brief/why-mennonite-links-to-mexico-cartels-are-nothing-new/

the question should be - why do people turn to drugs to sooth their soul?
and now we are into synthetics etc.. https://www.dea.gov/sites/default/files/2020-03/DEA_GOV_DIR-008-20%20Fentanyl%20Flow%20in%20the%20United%20States_0.pdf https://www.brookings.edu/articles/the-fentanyl-pipeline-and-chinas-role-in-the-us-opioid-crisis/
these wars have been around forever and will continue to go on and on and on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_Wars empires depend on people problems.
Till we determine why people do what they do we are merely throwing money at a fire pit.

Drugs, crime, and border are always an easy sell - political card.
