Listed here are some ideas on two latest articles. The primary, “How fentanyl gets into the U.S. from Mexico” (Aug. 10, Nation & World) describes how the Mexican cartels bribe authorities officers to be able to ship their merchandise (i.e., fentanyl) to prospects within the U.S. The second “Chip deal” (Aug. 11, Newsline) describes how U.S. manufacturing firms are “bribing” (i.e., paying 15% of their income) to the U.S. authorities to be able to ship their merchandise (i.e., pc chips) to their Chinese language prospects.
The primary is deemed to be unlawful however the second just isn’t? Looks as if the adage of strolling and quacking like a duck ought to apply right here.
