🛸 U.S. Lasers Down 300 Cartel Drones. Mexico Has Zero Interceptions

U.S. lasers have destroyed ~300 cartel drones this year — at ~$3 per shot. Mexico's Operation Águila Alta has intercepted zero. 🛸 The asymmetry: cartels treat drones as expendable ($2k each vs. cartel revenue), and Mexican territory remains a sanctuary for relaunch.

Kalshi offers new users $50 ($25 deposit + $25 bonus) via code CLEVELAND — but that's less than 0.00002% of its single-day volume of $217.98M. 🎰 The $50 is gated to binary sports-event contracts where one loss wipes 25–50% of capital. Robinhood and Webull offer cash
