They should get some Popeyes up in there. They won’t touch KFC after that.

I think the US should ban KFC, and this would create a market for Mexican drug cartels to smuggle delicious fried chicken across the border. This would crowd out drug trafficking as the fried chicken trade becomes more lucrative.

Or… just legalize it totally, regulate it like alcohol, charge a super high tax rate on it.

Triple WIN. big taxes raised, violence eliminated, happier population
