Traffickers were using the UPU to ship Fentanyl into the US from China, because are almost zero inspections compared to private shipping companies. This action may still be a pretext in the trade war, but it seems like it could slow down the overdoses significantly, so I'm all for it.

- GhettoMaestro 7y agoChina has supposedly been "cracking down" on illicit Fentanyl production in their country, which of course is total crap. They are happy to see Americans harmed by such things. Fundamentally, their culture is morally bankrupt. They belong right next to Saudi Arabia on the world stage. Edit: Flag me all you want. You know it is true.
- dmix 7y agoI'm sure they could just as easily route it through Mexican cartel channels or other commercial vectors just as easily. At the end of the day it will never be economical to search more than even 1% package and port crate or non-commercial boat coming into the US shores. Those packages will still get through and millions of dollars of Fentynal can be hidden in small packages. The supply of drugs to America has never been seriously hampered for long by decades of advanced drug interdiction tactics.
