So many down votes... yet the comments below seem to support my original comment. This is not a new phenomenon and the writing style seems opinionated and biased. The subject matter itself is certainly worthy of publicity and debate, but ju

I'd be afraid that they'd turn to other illegal activities like kidnapping and bribery before entertaining a legal job. If the cartels are allowed to operate legally, I'm worried about them having committed crimes for decades

There are many aspects to violence but I think it comes down to opportunity cost. Until the police/military are strong and law abiding enough, cartels will continue to see violence as a risk worth taking even if their main business bec

When the US pot market became saturated through legalization the cartels just shifted to other drugs. If you legalize those they will shift to something else. With the money, power and guns they have I don't think expecting them to tak

I bought a WeightGurus scale. It syncs the data to my phone. From what I understand any of the at home measurements like measuring your waist are pretty inaccurate and digital is the only real way to go.

I wouldn't want it changing every election cycle, so I'd say it should be some combination of population or area. If states want more revenue than that, they they can add other consumption taxes like bridge tolls, sales tax, etc.

This is insane. Why don't we just pay the federal government the entirety of our tax obligation and have them partition it out to the states? I'd love to spend less than half the year in any one state or be completely state-less.

I wonder how much time and money is saved by plea deals. No plea deals or minimal plea deals would be an incentive to go to trial even if the evidence is overwhelming as you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. I think you see this
