The logistics of the illegal drugs market is very resilient, sinking one boat will do nothing to stop new zombies and ODs, lol...

It's so resilient that even with all the disruptions caused by the War On Drugs drug prices are mostly stable over decades, some are even deflationary.

No problem, I will get the same emotional replies when Trump does it again.
There's little emotion to the replies pointing out your obvious false dichotomy that erroneously appeals to conservative 'emotions'.
Drug pushers are the lowest of the low. They don't deserve a breath.
Yet it's not spending some millions USD from your tax money to explode a few boats that will make any difference.

I feel there are quite a few types lower than drug pushers, rapists being one of those. You probably disagree.

It would cost a million to treat a single fent walker on the street.
That fent walker will still exist, supplied by someone else/some other network.

I don't think you understand how vast and resilient the network of drug logistics is. Killing people with missiles is the least efficient usage of your tax money to actually fight drug abuse due to despair.

But you do you, it's just sad to see even people who are supposedly more well-educated (as most HN users are) not understanding very basic principles, I recommend you learning about systems thinking.
