I mean it's the theory of a good reporter named Sam Quinones who's written a couple books on the evolution of the drug trade in this century that the Mexican cartels had a strategy that, 'No, we don't want to sell to particularly shooty people near media capitals, we'll sell to people who will overdose and die in small towns in the Ohio River Valley that nobody's going to care much about.'
