American federal investigators are having a hard time hiring computer-savvy staff, according to a memo from the Inspector General for the US Department of Justice.
"Even as it works to expand the ranks of its cybersecurity team, the department continues to face challenges recruiting and retaining highly qualified candidates to do this work," the memo [PDF] states.
Last year the FBI got the authorization and budget to hire 134 computer scientists for online investigations. We're told the agency could only find 82 people interested in working for Uncle Sam. As a result, five of the FBI's regional 56 Cyber Task Force teams don't have a computer specialist on hand.
Why are they having so much trouble?

While the dope is illegal it affects shit ton of people. It funds god knows what kind of criminal activity. From cartels that kidnap and rape teens to death, or just decapitate people for the hell of it, to inner city high school drop-out punks. Sure I get your point, but the distinction still stands. While this is an illegal substance, you are obtaining it at a significant social cost to people you will never meet.

That's entirely the responsibility of the people who take actions that harm other people. It doesn't matter that the drug user gave these people money; the drug sellers don't have to go out and directly harm people, but they choose to. That has nothing to do with the drug user.
Also, a lot of people who sell drugs don't even do that sort of thing.

Not really.

Fuck you.

Only because you want it to!
You fucking authoritarians don't give jack shit about the people who are the victims of organized crime. You don't fucking give one goddessdamned shit about
people you will never meet.
Oh, you like to invoke them and say, “If we legalize this, the horror! Aaaaaaa!” Grow a fucking pair and stop being a pussy.
