It’s 12 days early, but: avast, mateys, where might I get me letters of marque, so I can do a bit-o-pirating on the high seas!?

It’s still technically feasible that such could be employed, and even though this is an enumerated power of the Congress, if the (current) President has issued any, I’m sure that that august body would have zero qualms with it.

(One hopes that this was a “privateer”, which “confiscated” these chemicals, since, if it was done by United States Naval forces, could be construed as an open act of war…against China. We don’t know if the crews were allowed to continue living, or if ships were sunk, in this instance.)

Here’s the press release from Pirro’s office.

I checked those precursors too and they can have legitimate uses. It would not be the first time the USA has been wrong about the intent. Look at how the USA still seizes money from its own citizens. Quite a bit of money is taken and never returned all based on suspicion. I will assume the precurser bust was righteous though. But I do hope the USA exercises caution as well.

Freedom takes a blow, yes.
Most people won’t ever do drugs, regardless of the law…just like them what do!

People should be free enough to make horrible, horrible “mistakes”.
This desire to have a functional society is all well-and-good, but in a free society we should each have the option to make our own mistakes and win our own triumphs.

Survival of the fittest. Let fentanyl put them to the test.
