This will be the next Democrat Hoax, Trump blowing up drug boats caused cocaine to go up in price which caused the "helpless poor homeless junkies" to commit more crimes to support their habits.

Democrats and Deep State media outlets have been up in arms about the Trump administration using the military to eliminate Venezuelan drug boats. We wonder why the left is so up in arms about cutting the drug pipelines fueling America's worst-ever drug death crisis.
Why are you lefties so up in arms?

So are they are going to get shrink inflation too ? All the big corporations do it, instead of buying a eight ball they are going after a 6 ball at the old eight ball price

The fake outrage over drug boats and the equivocation over narcotics cargo are laughable.

Fentanyl was the excuse/talking point to morph these actions into some weird "terrorist" angle. Cocaine was not.
It was always a drug issue.
If there is no cocaine to lace with fentanyl, then isn't that a win?
You are also forgetting that Trump has been attacking China via trade over fentanyl so he has attacked it from multiple angles.
Mexico gets its fentanyl from China so attacking Mexico is useless if we go straight to the source.

It's a both of those issues. If cocaine is too expensive, addicts don't suddenly stop. They go to something cheaper and easier to obtain.
Well the youth just wouldn’t try it in the first place.
Substitute goods theory would not cleanly apply when the addict is chemically addicted to the substance.

That’s the cutting agent. Just like oil cartels overall shortages make prices higher

I don't think that is at all true. We have tried for decades to stop youth drug use to no avail.
The youth tried synthetic drugs, which are possibly far more dangerous, when they were all the rage. Take out cheap cocaine and fentanyl, and they will try those drugs again.
I am all for blowing up drug boats that supply the drug trade, but acting like that will stop demand and abuse is naive.

Leftists when 100,000 American lives are lost each year to the drugs being sank: “Those poor poor poor people on the boats!!! We have to do something! Trump is a murderer!!!”
Leftists when a liberal loon assassinates a corporate CEO on the street:
“Yay assassin!!!! We love him!!! Take that rich white guy!!! We need more of this!!!! Yayyyyyy!!!!!”

It’s not an either or proposition. Cocaine supply drastically drops, cocaine usage and attendant problems also drops.
Also it’s more expensive for drug dealers to get kids hooked on drugs. So kids won’t try in the first place. Thus, less supply, less demand.

From the supply side? Yes
Have you not followed the War on Drugs the past 50 years? We lost it decades ago

This is pretty fair and accurate. I'll allow it

And then usage of alternate drugs increases.
Again, this is why we have fentanyl.
Opioid supply drastically drops, opioid usage drops....but the attendant problems get worse because fentanyl usage explodes

"Cocaine is getting more expensive. And I think what it is — not only more expensive in the U.S., but we're seeing it become more expensive at first stops. So more expensive in Puerto Rico, more expensive in the Dominican, more expensive once it lands in Guatemala and Honduras and Central America," Cole said.
Well......yeah. When you increase costs for a seller they pass those increased costs down the line. They're not going to indefinitely eat them just because they think customers won't like a price increase.

Quit living in the past. Trump and Rubio are game changers.
Why do you think we gave naval patrol boats to Paraguay? To kneecap river transport of dope. Also we’re allies with Argentina. Trump and Miles are tight. Miles is fighting the cartels down there.

who gives a frick? if the US gov wants to stop the flow of drugs at any point they are well within their rights to do so
but are you suggesting the price of fentanyl hasnt went up too? are you sure it hasnt? might want to ask your clients.
