The wording of "made redundant" here is a Britishism. For a UK employer to fire an underperforming or unnecessary employee, first there is a process and period of time where the employee is notified his position is being made redundant.[1] The war on drugs is being addressed in that sense here, that it is underperforming because it can't keep up with rapid production advancements, so it should be dismissed like an underachieving employee.
