They vastly overestimate what low level gang members make off of drug slinging. They’re arguing that it’s economical to lead a gang and hold territory. Well yeah.
Not necessarily. The economics of supply and demand are also at work. Somewhere like the uk or the us is going to be much more of a buyers market for things like meth and coke because it’s either being made in country or coming across land borders or in fishing boats from the Netherlands whereas New Zealand is an isolated country and I’d be shocked if they have much indigenous production.
That just increases the margin for smugglers. Even there the level of debt bondage and lack of payment for mules is terrible. Not much in the way of unions in criminal enterprises.
