$63 an oz for cocaine that's a typo that must be the cost per gram. I just watched narcos on Netflix a kilogram in 1975 was worth like $35,000 and there are 35 oz in a kg.

Yes it is per gram. Just below the text mentioning the $63 is a sideways histogram showing price per gram. The largest bin is $50 - $99 per gram.

The NSA are not all-powerful. Grab Tails ( https://tails.boum.org/ ), put on a pair of sunglasses, hit a local wifi hotspot, and go nuts.
http://daserste.ndr.de/panorama/xkeyscorerules100.txt http://daserste.ndr.de/panorama/aktuell/nsa230_page-1.html The act of just searching/visiting Tails homepage gets you tasked into XKEYSCORE. Get generic linux live CD, apply sunglasses, obtain wifi then get the Tor Browser Bundle and go nuts (after about:config disable javascript).^^
Why not do sunglasses -> hotspot -> tor browser bundle -> tails so that way you're increasingly covering your tracks as you get closer to the goal

#34AirBnB as your criminal conspiracy supply chain strategy seems like a bad idea, how trivial would it be for the DEA to get a list of addresses on past/current listings, then search USPS db history to find patterns to investigate.
All USPS would see is an Airbnb house that got a package. No return address so there is nothing to investigate.
The student is signing for the package, I bet the dealers reuse fake ID or reuse the same airbnb places. Now do controlled delivery next time those addresses with patterns have packages and merely threaten the student into cooperation or follow them for second controlled delivery and bust entire crew for conspiracy to traffic which is a decade in jail at least, especially interstate trafficking. This is a weak criminal scheme made weaker by taunting the police by telling a journalist about your scheme, now they have to bust you to save face.

Remove the following things from your two comments: being white, I automatically get accused of unfairness) less educated people will I ever be able to word it without hurting people. So I've defaulted to thinking it's a prejudice from the listener. You imply a lot of ugly things about other people. It will get you ugly reactions to do that.
Are you just as critical when it's inversed? Speaking (and hearing) one's unpopular opinion is one the key elements to a successful democracy.
I have lots of unpopular/controversial opinions. I have found it enormously helpful to work on trying to express them without insulting my audience in the process. It can certainly be a hard row to hoe.
He asked for feedback. I gave it. I think I did so respectfully. If he sincerely hopes to learn to engage people effectively in meaty discussion about difficult topics, hopefully this will help him get there.
