Oh and the closing scene, children playing soccer with the sound of gunfire is a stark reminder that this problem isn’t going away

2025-03-15 15:27:43 +0000 UTCSorry, RISEN….. street prices haven’t risen markedly save the same inflationary methods that has increased the price of bread, milk or butter.

2025-03-15 15:18:44 +0000 UTCAdditionally, the problem both in the movie and reality, multiple cartels complicates our job of monitoring and controlling them. We have to have multiple task forces, at least one for each cartel. It complicates our surveillance, gaining an accurate intelligence profile on each cartel and stretches our resources for interdiction. Complicating this problem is the brute fact that the cartels collectively and, with the larger ones, even individually, have far more resources to throw at their side of the problem. The ratios may not be correct but the idea is illustrative: we’re trying to stop $1000/day with $25/day. I’m not talking just the value of the product. It’s the people, the vehicles, the innovations they come up with; a tunnel network that empties out under an abandoned car in the desert. With all the resources we have, spread over all the various alphabet agencies, we stop, for argument’s sake, let’s say 5% of the flow. Now, let’s map that, Precious Cassie, onto your own organization. I know this is a highly politicized term right now but no matter the party or individual that might do this to you, let’s pretend that some politician or agency was able to place a 5% tariff on the flow of your content, ok? They stopped 5% of your product from reaching the market. Would this close you down? Absolutely not (Thank Goodness)! It would generate a response from your organization, though. One option you have would be to raise the prices on your product by 5%. An even more sophisticated answer would be to raise your prices by 6-8% and use the additional 1-3% to lobby against the interdiction of your trade and come up with innovative ways to get around the trade barriers. Your customers fund new and better methods of bringing your product to market. As odd as it may seem, the most accurate indicator of the success of the interdiction of illegal substances is the street price here in America of the substance. Some alphabet agency having a photo op with stacks of stuff they managed to stop is meaningless. It says something about what we stopped but nothing about what got through. The street prices are tracked and known from arrests here in the US. Generally speaking, since the ‘60s, street prices haven’t significantly fallen, save for normal inflationary increases over time, no matter how much money, new alphabet agencies or whiz bang technology we’ve thrown at the problem and no matter what we do, no matter how many resources we throw at the problem, the cartels have more money to counter our counter. There are nothing but bad solutions but there is plenty of data, collected over long periods of time that can tell us what the LEAST bad solution is if we’re adult enough, rational enough and determined enough to find it.

2025-03-15 14:13:44 +0000 UTCIf you didn’t understand the overarching goal of the whole operation, it was an intentional choice of the lesser of two evils. With only one cartel in charge of all the drug trade, the calculation was that it wouldn’t lessen the inflow of drugs. It might even increase them. The government, essentially, has surrendered to the notion that nothing can stop the “20% of our population from snorting and smoking that s—-.” If the government can’t stop it, then, next best outcome, limit the inflow to a single organization. That eliminates the violence between the cartels and the violence perpetrated on civilians. Recall the bodies hung from overpasses. ‘Medellin’ would drastically cut down on that. From a moral perspective, the outcome is not appreciably different from the one State in the Pacific Northwest that has chosen to legalize all or most drugs. The current state of affairs resembles Prohibition America. Unregulated trade of a substance people are determined to consume leaves criminal organizations in charge of its manufacture and distribution and makes those organizations fabulously wealthy and powerful. Legalization and regulation removes criminal organizations from the equation. In a strange irony, the last thing the cartels want is legalization. The ‘Medellin’ plan presented in the movie is a hybrid plan: limit the illegal drug trade to a single cartel. None of the three is ideal for everyone. As a nation, we’re going to have to have a rational, adult conversation about the outcome we can best live with. Nothing so far presented, tracked or studied has been shown to put even a minor dent in the demand. If you cannot eliminate demand, then managing, controlling or regulating supply is all that’s left. The really frustrating part of this movie is that attempting to effect ‘Medellin’ was, clearly, an utterly black operation, highest levels of secrecy by political officials no doubt offered immunity for their actions and who would speak vociferously against anything remotely similar publicly. Also, ironically, were an operation like this carried out today, it would be received 20, 30, 50 years in the future as more mad ramblings of ‘just another conspiracy theorist.’ This movie is fiction. In reality, though, we must have something better than ‘Just Say No.’ I don’t have numbers or data to support this but it seems self-evident: legal, quality-controlled cocaine or MDMA or safe doses of fentanyl or some derivative of these would lower the current death rates and the cross-border violence whether you’re comfortable with that reality or not.

2025-03-15 14:10:37 +0000 UTCI hear that its looking like a murder
Thoko
2025-03-03 10:34:01 +0000 UTCNarwhals? Nachos? Narcos?
Ria Grix
2025-03-01 00:18:34 +0000 UTCWind River is a good film.
Darreld Studie
2025-02-28 04:03:29 +0000 UTC@Joe They have been dead for two weeks. They found pills scattered and the front door was unlocked. This seems suspicious….
Anthony Carlson
2025-02-28 00:15:47 +0000 UTCShe got moves
Clarence Newman
2025-02-27 15:36:01 +0000 UTCIf it was CO poisoning, that would have been reported. I suspect something sinister...but the facts will come out soon enough.
Joe
2025-02-27 14:47:55 +0000 UTCPart of me thought William Munny must have got him lol. In all seriousness, RIP.
Anthony Carlson
2025-02-27 14:26:48 +0000 UTCI don’t know the details, but no foul play was involved. It’s possible.
Anthony Carlson
2025-02-27 14:24:48 +0000 UTCI saw this this morning. Their dog was dead as well. Guessing gas leak?
Brent Petty
2025-02-27 14:21:25 +0000 UTCI was thinking of Cormac McCarthy's border trilogy of books. I humbly beg your pardon. Wind River is the third installment of Taylor Sheridan's trilogy of "the modern-day American frontier", the first being Sicario in 2015, and Hell or High Water the next year. I hope this helps.
Brent Petty
2025-02-27 14:20:37 +0000 UTC👌
Alex
2025-02-27 14:04:52 +0000 UTCShe has seen Hell or Highwater. You can check whether she has seen a movie at popcornrequests.com
Clay F
2025-02-27 14:03:54 +0000 UTCOff topic (again): Gene Hackman and his wife were found dead yesterday afternoon.
Anthony Carlson
2025-02-27 13:58:04 +0000 UTCI hope you’ll watch the other two of Sheridan’s films, Cassie. Wind River and Hell or High Water are just as well done and just as memorable.
Alex
2025-02-27 13:09:31 +0000 UTCDon’t skip through the ad -you’ll miss Cassie’s adorable recreation of Tom Cruise’s Risky Business dance.
Richard Maurer
2025-02-27 11:54:30 +0000 UTCAlso The Punisher for Marvel (Netflix, soon to be Disney +)
Richard Maurer
2025-02-27 11:51:34 +0000 UTCIt's literally a trilogy? Or they're just three different movies based on the same subject?
Chris Thom
2025-02-27 11:31:06 +0000 UTCAbsolutely not. If she's trying to keep the comments from getting political then she should absolutely not watch stuff like that, as that is basically "MAGA: The Movie" or "QAnon: The Movie."
Stranger2Reality
2025-02-27 10:43:36 +0000 UTCI've never heard of it referred to as his "border trilogy". Wind River takes place in Wyoming, so what does that have to do with the border? 😂
Stranger2Reality
2025-02-27 09:13:42 +0000 UTCI agree but I'm beyond the point of taking award shows seriously. So many great performances that don't get the credit they deserve
Thoko
2025-02-27 05:53:09 +0000 UTCRIP to Roberto, who boldly took his films where no man had gone before. May his work and his legacy live long and prosper
Thoko
2025-02-27 05:49:57 +0000 UTCYou mean Carly? Could she handle it?
Thoko
2025-02-27 05:46:58 +0000 UTCShe could see it with company for emotional suport?
Arturo
2025-02-27 05:39:50 +0000 UTCHas or Should/could Cassie now see Sound of freedom (2023) ?
Arturo
2025-02-27 05:37:12 +0000 UTCOff topic: Roberto Orci, the writer and producer for the Star Trek reboot films has passed away yesterday. He was 51.
Anthony Carlson
2025-02-27 04:34:51 +0000 UTCThere was a color issue from Cassie’s side so it’s a reupload.
Anthony Carlson
2025-02-27 04:15:31 +0000 UTCDid this premiere twice?
Chris Thom
2025-02-27 04:01:23 +0000 UTCAnd he played Shane in The Walking Dead
Mark T
2025-02-27 03:39:27 +0000 UTC, bad news huh Cass ?
Nolofinwe
2025-02-27 03:24:49 +0000 UTCgood point, I had forgotten that, and yes, Lee never looked better
Michael West
2025-02-27 02:20:59 +0000 UTCHe played Lee Iacocca in Ford vs Ferrari - old Lee never looked so badas-that.
2-Can
2025-02-27 02:19:52 +0000 UTCCassie, you saw the guy (Jon Bernthal) who tried to kill Kate in "Fury". He was the tank mechanic.
Michael West
2025-02-27 02:16:49 +0000 UTCDefinitely finish the border trilogy with wind river next.
Duncan Carlton
2025-02-27 01:13:00 +0000 UTCwritten by Yellowstones Taylor Sheridan, It is great movie, but dark, and I had to have a 2nd watch to appreciate it because it is a different kind of thriller
christopher b swanson
2025-02-27 00:42:16 +0000 UTCYou should watch the third movie in the writer's "border trilogy." It's called Wind River, and it stars Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen.
Brent Petty
2025-02-27 00:29:13 +0000 UTCUgh, I'm sorry you had to go through this. I watched the movie on Amazon and felt soiled by it.
Thomas Williamson
2025-02-27 00:26:48 +0000 UTCI've wondered about her use of the word "understated" which she may mean more in the sense of refined or straightforward good without embellishment.
Clay F
2025-02-27 00:24:30 +0000 UTCYou're the first person I've heard refer to the score to this film as "understated." :)
Brent Petty
2025-02-27 00:19:27 +0000 UTCCouldn't agree more.
Clay F
2025-02-27 00:19:23 +0000 UTCDel Toro deserved an Oscar nom for this film.
Brent Petty
2025-02-27 00:18:34 +0000 UTCThanks for the upload Cassie!, it’s been a day 😝 lol It’s my sisters husband’s birthday today too!! He’s a real bull riding cowboy from Saskatchewan 😆
