Again, your just making shit up and infering into it because you don't want to admit you are wrong.  What he says is 100% clear.

where does he say they will would reduce profit buy cheapening production?  no where. Where does he explain how they would make it so cheap in the US? no where.

He doesn't say that, because it's common sense when you can lose 90% of your product and still be profitable that means that your profits  to cost ratio > 10 to 1.

Which is specifically what he says.

It just sounds sensationalistic to you because you don't want to believe it. 

So he never explains how they could make it cheaper.  When i give an explanation i'm full of shit. When you give an explanation it's common sense. That's real pompous.

I'm not giving an explination though...  I'm saying exactly what he's saying.  That they make enough profit on one item to cover ten.

 

They can make it cheaper by lowering the price... 

Cocaine costs less to produce and transport to the US then the price they sell it for.   The entire cost of getting it to the USA is less then 10% of the cost they sell it for once it crosses the border.  This isn't even counting cocaine being cut, because people who buy cocaine pay different prices for different purities.

Simplfied example, it costs a kid about 3 cents to make a glass of lemonaide at their lemonaide stand and  penny per glass to get their sister to sell it .   They sell that Leonaide for 50 cents.   They could lower their price all the way to 5 cents if they want to and still make  a profit.

They don't need to really do anything to it to do so.  It's just because demand is so high they can charge a higher price.   Cocaine has a pretty high cost everywhere in the supply chain, because it's in high demand.
