Cartel holds a master class for MUSK in employee management

Oh-look, the cartel got rid of their employees who didn’t perform according to expectations – FIRED them right along and turned them over. Who knows, maybe these were random non-performers conveniently available when a way to get rid of them opened up.

But here’s my kicker, chuckling, the cartel deals with their employees the way MUSK DOES – bwah ha HAH!

And from a purely MANAGEMENT point of view – look how the cartel SOLVED their problem – turned over the supposed culprits, GOT RID OF THEIR OWN PROBLEM (don’t want to rock the boat with U.S.-Mexico), lickety split, no bureaucratic hand wringing. AND with an "apology" attached on them. Brilliant (no, am not cheering cartel, or MUSK for that matter).

They must really be worried to do something like this. Something similar happened when Colonial Pipeline was attacked with Ransomware. The parent group basically disavowed them.

4. Cartels in a lot of ways are like a business

Yeah they ignore the rule of law and all, but they generally are focused on making a lot of money for their members. Randomly killing innocent people and the police scrutiny that comes from it isn't exactly great for business.

"Gulf cartel apologizes after Americans are kidnapped and killed in Mexico"
"The four Americans were shot at and kidnapped after crossing the border into northern Mexico for a medical procedure. Two died."
