You know something is wrong when the drug dealers are more honest than the ruling class
Well, when you can’t use the law to rig the competition, you have to remain competitive.
So. Supply is bigger than in 2014? I don’t think demand is in decline.
So drug trafficking gangs found better ways to move their product into the target countries.
This graph is great at showing a selective part of reality. Free market thinking and capitalism tend to do well on those.
Gummy blow
Imagine if the market was that free for consumer goods
How can purity go above 100? Is this concentrated cocaine? Supposed to water it down first or something?
100 is the relative purity and price in 2014.
Would like to see absolute numbers.
It has become… 40%… purer in… 2024
In ten years between be 2014 and 2024, average(?) cocaine purity in(?) Europe got 40% more pure.
Is this… 🫴 🦋 Puritan culture?
This is a relative scale. 100 being the baseline.
So a random sample will contain 1.4 times as much coke, for 80% of the cost.
Not one random sample but the average of all samples.
The random sample collectively.
My coke has more coke!
For our purposes, 140 will do fine.
