Drug Cartels And Amazon.com Have The Same Business Model [VIDEO]

While drug lords are usually thought of and portrayed as unorganized gangsters (with the exception of Walter White), Canales asks us to imagine that drug cartels aren’t only similar to multi-national corporations in size, but also in practice. Illegal drugs are a $60 billion market in the US, which is the approximate yearly revenue of Microsoft.
