Would have been funny if Walter chose to flip to Hank and convince him that he could do what he did to the cartels but partnering with Hank. Not that Hank would likely go with the idea, but it's a humorous thought.

​@@DogeickBateman Breaking bad ended up turning into a vigilante story would be interesting

The federal government doesnt want to lose its most valued clients.

Tbf gus did most of that

So Walter really was the chosen one that brought balance to the Force

nuts innit,

Hello again Marshal

@@H_P_Lovecraft ey

With a bit of unintended help from Hank when he took out Tuco and his team taking out his operation

Something a lot of people overlook is Walter took out so many people in the drug business that you could say he positively affected it in that regard. Also Gretchen & Elliot spoke on Charlie Rose about their 28 million dollar charity grant announcement for drug abuse treatment centers in the south west that would have never been possible if not for Walter

I was looking to see who else noticed

Can't neglect the important details.

LMFAO, I rewind it like 3 times "Wait wtf was that?"

2:54

They should've added her empire for a quick second 😂

"You are a time bomb. Tick tick tick. And I dont have any intention of being around for the boom" -Mike, to Walt

It’s all about infiltrating them and gaining their trust until you have enough info to take them down. It’s just a lot easier to do that when you constantly break the law unlike the DEA

What drug empire did he destroy others than Gus Fring’s?

@@unclekarl5219 his own, jack's, and technically through killing tuco he helped gus fring kill the entire cartel, then he killed fring. so in total like 4

Visualizes the scope and scale of how organized each empire was, the amount of shit they were pumping into people who just wanted a fix is crazy. Even with the map empty of any color, it's still chilling knowing millions are snorting that crap up.

@@DogeickBateman honestly with the sheer amount of meth they produced it's kinda jarring that we never see someone (other than tuco) using it, would've made for one hell of a scene

​@@Josuhvery true. It would help visualise the destruction the drugs caused. But a wonderful series is over (sadly)

@@lucille8302yeah I wish people would acknowledge this more. Something that I kept a note of during the series is that Lydia vaguely acknowledges knowing SEVERAL drug contacts in Europe.

that's a crazy thought

@@railworksamerica “The Drug Empires of Real Life 2008 - 2010"

Makes sense

The show probably exists in-universe too, but instead of "Breaking Bad" by Vince Gilligan, it'd be "Narcos: New Mexico" and it'd be by the same guys who did the Narcos shows

This impact grecce a year later with the prime minister in kastelorizo saying the country will be in national money register

Not just in the show, but Blue Sky made it's way into the real world after Breaking Bad. The show was so influential that real meth manufacturers started adding blue food dye to their product as a marketing stunt, to get more people to buy it.

Very important for the creation of the drug empire.

And that's why democracies need absolute ruler beforehand

outcome is more important than intent

How is this comment. Not more upvoted lol

No, as evidenced by this video you can see that empires come and go and that power vacuums are always filled, someone will replace them, the only thing that is truly gone is the blue meth, that was Walter's and anyone who knew how to make it or even had the means to make it is gone, those who follow will simply sell inferior home-made meth.

I thought one of the main "morals" of the show was that every drug cartel or leader you kill just leads to another one taking their place, ad infinitum. Even though we don't see it in the shows, there's definitely already someone building their own drug empire after Walt's death.

Walt was an inside man all along

Play of the game

China drug cartel steps in.

Also to note, Jack's gang probably ended up as the most profitable of them all. Made the most amount of money...

Heisenberg's Empire was ended by Hank Schrader

@@triflomastera4882 Walter White stopped cooking meth much before Hank knew it

@@triflomastera4882Walt retired before Hank found out

Then finally Walter White - Walter White

Krazy 8: walter white

didnt knew that, thanks for spreading some information about czech meth 👍

And isn't it more profitable to create drugs closer to the capital? This is a city with a large population and the distribution of drugs there is faster than in the provinces.

@@lox.168 It is literary 20 minutes drive.

Its a shitty video when it didnt even bother looking up major cities in the Czech republic and instead apparantly a "meth empire" happens to cover mostly irrelevant countryside with totally random borders while avoiding most major hubs, including those with highest consumtpion in Europe.

​@@tomasstanek2982Doesn't make it shitty, just a mistake from the guy who made this. Try doing better

@@NeonBeeCatAnd the mastermind behind the mastermind is Chuck McGill

Yea because in reality if La Linea members tried to enter Tamaulipas during 2008 they'd end up in a gore video most likely done by Golfos or Zetas (just like what happened in Zacatecas months ago when CDN skinned some La Linea teenager alive).

@@TheStarkman123 Yeah. And even when Breaking Bad lore states that Juarez Cartel dominates New Mexico, I doubt the Sinaloa Cartel would allow it at all. Hell, even their territory inside Chihuahua would be heavily disputed

The cartel in breaking bad seemed to be a mix of the Juarez cartel, the Sinaloa cartel, the familia michoacana and the Beltran Leyva (the latter one being an inspiration for the salamancas) so it would make some sense they’d control that territory.

@@thecollector4332 why La Familia Michoacana?

@@TheStarkman123 Partly because of their odd religious tendencies and also cause hector mentions having businesses in Michoacán.

They probably didn’t directly l supply but it rather got tossed around all over the country

@@CoacoaPuffs yeah but is there any proof of that in the show?

@@yechezkelbinstok9281they had customers in other countries confirmed via granite state ending

no

@@yechezkelbinstok9281 Walt would not have had direct control of those areas, but likely it's based on his product making it's way to those areas and being in demand.

Yeah that did seem kind of light. I remember from my idiot days of youth that my dealer lady went through a few pounds a month and she was small time. I can't imagine 250 pounds for all that area being anywhere close to accurate.

Where you see a straight line for a border between states, it typically means there were essentially no major landmarks to be found with which to create a more natural kind of border. Given that the states where all established by immigration of largely one homogenous group to those areas pretty quickly and orderly, and coming into being in a time of advancing cartographic technology, they could actually get away with just drawing a line on the earth and calling it a border. If something ever happened to seriously impact the stability of the US, you would see the plains states essentially dissolve and borders become very fuzzy things centered around locuses of population. Given enough time, it would eventually look like how the Eurasian steppe did for most of history. With vast swathes of land laid loose claim to by nomadic clans, who would be the only kind of society able to realistically command such a large area full of very little. :nerd emoji: :nerd emoji: :nerd emoji:

@@Guy-Manni agree this is how it would play it out in the past, power had advanced in its reach enough that any civilization large enough (Deseret/East/West coast) could conquer it cleanly. It might become a sort of western Afghanistan, though, there are many hardscrabble white mountain men in them hills

​@@Guy-Mann I didn't read all of it but I appreciate the nerd essay.

You should see how real life cartel borders have changed over time, you'd be surprised. Also, will this add to your suspension of disbelief? In the Mexican state of Morelos, there are around 14 criminal groups fighting for territory in the state. That, isn't any piece of fiction, that is real.

@@TheStarkman123 That's one province in Mexico, not the entire western half of the United States.

@@furioussherman7265 my guy Los Zetas took over practically the entire eastern portion of Mexico in just a few years.

@@TheStarkman123 Again, much smaller than Walt's territory and it took longer.

@@furioussherman7265 "kills my suspension of disbelief" you'd have a real "suspension of disbelief" moment shoved in your nose and still claim "it's not good enough".
