I just listened to all the episodes and enjoyed every second. But I also wonder if dishing out all these stories would put you guys in danger, I hope you remain safe and keep reporting. God bless

no one in Mexico works independent. there's a phrase in Mexico "hasta el diablo paga plaza" and that means "even the devil pays" so no one works independent everyone is connected to a cartel and if you're not you get killed fast. Do better research vise. Thousands of people die in turf wars every day and believe me no one sell dope or moves merch without the "blessing" of a cartel.
