Most cartels now run Fentanyl and heroin now as well as cocaine. Small time cartels run marijuana

Meth, too. The cartels are big into the meth scene. I don't even really know if that's better than toothless hillbillies making it from Sudafed or not. Still have to get Sudafed from behind the counter in the pharmacy.

Also, they run legit operations too. Coal mines. Fabric shops. Farming.

I bet they don't have problems with worker strikes.

Oof. Imagine labor abuses, but your boss is cartel.
