Which they will promptly turn over to their taskmasters, the cartels. It'll finally make its way here. Just a slight delay while they pretend to fight the war on drugs.

Read the fine print.

"Investigators discovered the fentanyl aboard a Danish vessel in a cargo container whose manifest indicated a shipment of calcium chloride. ... When the Mexican Customs laboratory tested a sample of the contents, investigators found the powdered substance tested positive for fentanyl. The customs investigators went on to seize 931 sacks of the same substance, amounting to a weight of 23,368 kilograms (about 25.75 tons). Initial reports on the total weight of seizure are still only an estimate as authorities are still determining the total amount of captured fentanyl powder."

Wanna bet it will turn out to be 25 tons of calcium chloride containing 25 grams of fentanyl? 😄

Good catch, but I'll take that bet.

I'm sure it's at least a quarter fentanyl.

Supply and Demand.

Isn’t that the capitalist system that the US uses to excuse its own greedy behavior.
