Cutting out the Chinese seems like an option, but what about cutting out the Mexicans? Is it so hard to turn precursor chemicals into pills? Seems like U.S.-based actors could do that.

Indeed, good point and that is what may happen in the future. It's an extremely hard game of whack-a-mole. But fentanyl is devastating and I am really interested what the hell the solution, or policy, should be. All best there Christopher.

Good point David. Which reminds me, I need to do a story on cartel money laundering. Back soon on that.
