Yes, for example, even though I'm in Sinaloa, I'm not supposed to ask which cartel people work for.

It's obvious that when you're in Sinaloa, everyone works for the Sinaloa cartel.

I mean, everybody that's involved in the cartel works for the Sinaloa cartel.

There are other cartels trying to make headway in that region, but usually it's all Sinaloa.

So you're not supposed to ask who exactly they work for.

And any other some questions about money, for example, how much money they make.

People don't like to ask that.

But I always ask all those questions anyway.
