Let’s see...
* They both sell drugs for major profits. Cartels use pushers; Parma’s use TV ads and doctors.
* They both traffic drugs. Cartels sneak them over borders; Parma’s change the names.
* They both murder people. Cartels use guns and bombs, Parma’s jack up the price of needed life-saving medications beyond what people are able to pay (just to boost their profits).
* They’re both con artists.
* They both bribe officials to "get their way". Prams just call theirs "lobbying".
* They both have the same objection - get the customer hooked so they will keep coming back.
* Despite what either may claim, their only objective is money (and getting as much as they can - at any cost).
Despite their appearances they’re basically the same.
