The connection between fast fashion and drug trafficking

  • Resumen

  • A 2016 trade law has made it easier for fast-fashion companies like Temu and Shein to ship massive volumes of cheap clothes to customers in the United States. Now drug traffickers are exploiting that same law to import fentanyl ingredients. We’ll get into it. And, Kai watched last night’s vice presidential debate after all. The hosts share their takeaways. Plus, a story about repurposing old newspaper boxes takes us to nostalgia central.

    Here’s everything we talked about today:

    • “How fentanyl traffickers are exploiting a U.S. trade law” from Reuters
    • “Takeaways from the VP debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz” from AP News
    • “People fill old newspaper boxes with movies, call it ‘Free Blockbuster’” from The Washington Post
