People Often Jump In to the Death Well For Money

[Fragrance1122]

Is money more Important than life because People frequently suffer themselves more than they need to for money likely people who do business of cocaine, heroin , cannabis and weed etc. They don't risk their lives only but People connected to them also feel the heat of danger later. If you have watched the season BREAKING BAD, then that could be the best example I think. Although the hero was suffering from a sort of cancer. A different scenario also catch my mind that who is producing such kind of drugs when the government charges them a huge punishment at the end ? Shouldn't that be stopped because every government knows the seller. Don't they ?

If it is that harmful who is Promoting it ? The Mexican cartels still pays a huge amount of percentage to the corrupt police officers. Is it the same in other countries as well? Recently one guy stood against the mafia who were selling Ice (drug) , the next day he was shot dead and the killers weren't found.. There is something black in the lentils.

This should be moved to off topic or politics and society board.

You mentioned corruption so it will not stop as long as those who are supposed to enforce the law are being bribed or are the ones running these businesses themselves.

Maybe on our side being ordinary people we can choose what is wrong or right, we can do business with high profits but if it's illegal, the risk of going to jail or getting killed is very high, so we choose our own future. As for me, I want a simple life, I don't need a lot of money to be happy especially if it means putting my family in danger.

You may have noticed this. Nowadays, most people are so greedy for money that they indulge in all kinds of dangerous activities in the hope of getting rich, where not only they but also their families face danger. But I have noticed that in most cases, the greed for money comes from poverty and lack. Even sometimes, some do these wrong things due to pressure from criminal gangs and lack of good job opportunities.

I think that the government is unable to stop the drug trade because of the cooperation of people at the top and numerous people are involved here. Moreover, it is not only a matter of suspecting the criminal and proving the case against him in court. In my opinion, it may not be possible to eliminate this problem by just giving harsh punishment. To stop this, it is more important to control corruption and create legal income opportunities for the youth.

I think the issue like you mentioned is corporation, the governments may know the sellers and manufacturer of these illicit drugs but just like in the movie you referenced, you see that there's a kickback of certain percentages to those corrupt officials in power. This isn't simply to turn a blind eye to the operation while they ruin the lives of members of society, but also to give them heads-up on any investigations or operation that may affect them and maybe even make some of their problems go away. This turns the agencies charged with putting an end to such organization into their paid guard dog.

The government seems to be among the benefactor of drugs production if it could have been reduced to  least minimum. In most South America country where drug production is at its height  and where gang controls most of the place, drug production can still be reduced to it minimal if the government is willing to go all out on them rather just pretend to attack them through the front door while benefiting from it through the back door.

This mindset of doing anything, I mean anything at all for money is not good. How can you equate money with your life, you'll hear things like "All d*e na d*e" from people that have two legs, two hands, two eyes and yet they don't believe they can do something to change their situation. Could it be that they don't know what to do or they are lazy minded to think out a solution to their predicament. It's all a thing of the mind so if you believe and work towards it rather than trying to equate money to your life.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

It is so unfortunate that people are using all means to make money today, what is the legal and illegal ways have been alternative considerations for them as long as they will landed at making money, which is wrong because we don't wait to let time servers the benefits of patience and hard work, we don't have to also compare our lives with others who are there before us. This does not mean that we will not also make it or achieve even better than them. We only need time and have to be more patient with life.

There is a question you asked here that caught my interest. As we know if the government knows people that are producing cocaine why not go after them? Here is something that you must know that I am actually sensing from the government generally; they may knows those people that are producing it but since those people who are producing it are paying a higher percentage of tax to them they wouldn't think of going after those people but, they would be going for the wholesales, retails and finally to the consumers. If you looked here you would see that the producers or manufacturers are not mentioned because they are paying a higher percentage of taxes to the government. From my reasoning, there is nothing bigger than Government in every country, if the government has developed their time to put a particular thing to end they would definitely do that without even undermining the stress, amount and what it would cost them to find out who's producing it. But this, they know is bad but they won't go for them instead, they will go to the pushers, and consumers, and maybe some of them are consuming it secretly that is they wouldn't want stop it.

Recently one guy stood against the mafia who were selling Ice (drug) , the next day he was shot dead and the killers weren't found.. There is something black in the lentils.

The profit that’s associated with the sales of drugs is so much that if you’re trying to stop those that are already involved in it, your life will be thrown in the line. As the population increases and the means of getting money reduces, the desperation that comes with it also increases.

Why do you see politicians killing people in so many developing nations just to get into power and to remain in power? It’s because of the privileges and the money they stand to gain in the process. Money rules the world and the kind of power we’ve given it makes people to do any and everything just to get it. You see people going as far as selling their organ just for money. That’s how serious the matter is.

There is something black in the lentils.

That thing black is the fact that drug business is a large cartel business. It is usually not a one man business even though supply could come from a source but they have different groups that are closely knitted that it is difficult to break into. So they are very dangerous group that even government officials who are not ready to play balls with them can be eliminated at a slightest opportunity. Drug dealers are ready to bribe their way if anything seem to be a stumbling block. It is a huge business that generate money to the regulators in government.

So drug business is not going to be eradicated because so many people are involved in it, just as you have cultism. The funny thing is that government try to make rules against those illicit business but they still have drug loyalist in government. In some countries for instance, officials who confiscate drugs from offenders still end up taking those drugs in their closet.

Nobody thinks money is worth more than life, they just all think they're the one who won't get caught.

And yes, governments usually know who's selling. The problem is that some of the people paid to stop it are also on the other payroll, and the cartel pays better and on time. As long as there are buyers, someone will take the risk.

Recently one guy stood against the mafia who were selling Ice (drug) , the next day he was shot dead and the killers weren't found.. There is something black in the lentils.

As long as someone is willing to pay handsomely, there's a corrupt cop that is prepared to take the risk and keep them functioning both with protection and intel.

In the case above, the killers are known, they're not hiding but they're under the protection of some powerful entities, government officials and security personnel. As long as they pay their dues, their success rate is very high, unless the government themselves decides to mount increased pressure and initiate a nationwide crackdown.

[Ruttoshi]

You should know that government benefits from these cartels and they have top government officials from the military or somewhere that protects these drug cartel because they get their own share of the cartels. There's no point an individual who isn't a drug enforcement agency standing against these drugs cartels because they're Mafia and they kill anyone that wants to stop them from business.

Has it come to your mind that, what if there's a shortage of drug supply in a particular nation, what will happen to these people taking the drugs. It's going to be a big problem for the government themselves.

Is money more Important than life

The key to life, when someone doesn't have a balance between life and money, then negative things can happen and be done as the OP said, corruption, trading in illicit goods and so on.

It is true that money in this world is considered a tool for survival, but when we give ourselves choices and money, of course situations like that will give us freedom and a sense of comfort so we don't need to think about money in excess, Remember, without us being living humans, it could be said that money does not have any value, so when someone feels that they are grateful, of course whatever money they get, they will be grateful without having to do things that violate the law to get that money.
Life will be easier when we enslave money, life will feel difficult and humiliating when we are enslaved by money.

[Taricoins]

And yes, governments usually know who's selling. The problem is that some of the people paid to stop it are also on the other payroll, and the cartel pays better and on time. As long as there are buyers, someone will take the risk.

I don't think the government hasn't tried to stop some of this their operations, but the problem is this drug dealer are very ingenious, once you stop a trade route, they take another man by paying one low level police officer, you stop thus new route, they make another one so it gets hard. Plus if they decide to take out the cartel boss, another takes their place and that's just the circus for them.

[Mr_Brilliant$]

To a certain degree, we can't eliminate this. In this world today, there is good and bad. Most things are in two's and that is how the world works and will continue to work. When it comes to money, people will do the craziest thing for it. The world system was designed in a way to reward creators and people that offer services. It didn't say good services. It is just services. Same as people who create. It didn't say good creation, nor did it say bad creation. You create something that people wants and you get money for it. Same thing, whether it is good or bad as long as it creates demand, people will pay for it. People know which is good and bad. They know. But what really fuels everyone? Money. It is the fuel of the human being that is why they will do anything to get it. Not everyone actually. Some people have principles. Money is fuel.

[iDEEMEE]

As long as human continue to exist there will always be those who are willing to go extreme for money. Sometimes when someone has experienced a high level of poverty they don’t care anymore they can go as far as killing, kidnapping, drugs etc just to have a reprieve from life hardships even they might go to jail or die in the process, to them it is better than another day in the slump.

For the government aspect I think there’s just enough they can do but they can’t completely stop a lot of this crimes, yes they can reduce the rate but crime for money will always be a constant.

There's no point an individual who isn't a drug enforcement agency standing against these drugs cartels because they're Mafia and they kill anyone that wants to stop them from business.

I see cases of foreigners in my country, especially those from Mexico who are caught after spending years in the bush producing these hard drugs. Does it mean they stopped remitting to the corrupt government officials/personnel that provided them earlier coverage or is it that there is a shortage of drugs and those previously protecting them decided to blow their cover?

[Cheema02]

I think the most expensive and valuable thing is human life. No doubt money has great importance, but some people lose their morality to get money and sometimes risk their lives for it. We have a lot of examples. We see people cross the borders in an illegal way every year, and we don't even imagine the risk of life that they take.

So the question here is why do people bypass the laws just for financial benefits? According to mine, the government is the main responsibility behind all matters because corrupted people run the system. Corrupt leaders just prefer their personal benefits and don't have any humanity for ordinary people. So many people who run a drug business and behind all the smuggling government indirectly support them. The other reason is that when the government doesn't deal with criminals properly, the demand for drugs increases gradually. Governments should pay attention to that matter.
