Lots of majorly slippery slopes you're presenting here. :laugh2:
*and yes, I preferred it when pot was illegal (though that had nothing to do with selfish crybabies)
I'd rather have the OG growers making money off it than the state and corporations. I also preferred the medical guidelines to the recreational guidelines and have zero need or desire to frequent the legal shops. Having it go legal also kinda wiped out a bunch of the DIY growers which then wiped out a bunch of hydro shops that those growers frequented.
In theory though, I certainly believe it should be legal. The devil is in the details though.
I'm certain areas sure, but those certain areas really consume 3-4 cities.
I play golf with 30 people 3 times per week. Have been doing this for 2 months. We all gather at the start of the rounds to pick teams and at the end to figure out the financial damage. That's 30 people gathered close 3 times every 4 weeks a month. Not a single covid contraction.
I agree with you that in certain places, the release needs to be a slower transition. But 90% of America isn't seeing what NY experienced.
Each and every reopening should be personally formulated for each individual city.
And thank God, MO greene county is going to do a combination of phase 2 & 3 simultaneously.
We've had almost 7000 cases of covid with 7 deaths early on. All from a nursing home. Outside if that we have had 3 confirmed covid cases in the hospital. If you don't think that the economy NEEDS to open up in this situation...im gonna start calling you the crybaby. People really need to start making and spending money.
Nah, Tea Party protesters were treated the same way. I grew up in Berkeley and was taught to respect protesters even if you don't agree with them and the way Tea Party protesters were treated was shocking and offensive. This is just more of the same. It's the extension of the team game. If you protest something the Dems are doing the majority of the media is going to call you an idiot and frankly I think it's shameful.
By the way, I was walking down the street one day and literally hundreds of naked people took over the street, they put trash cans in the street and wouldn't leave and completely jammed up traffic. They were protesting the police arresting naked people and they eventually got the law changed to make being naked in public a citation rather than a misdemeanor. They did it by jury nullification by the way. It was a dumb protest, but I didn't mock them or deride them for their decision. Their passion was evident and that's worth a lot. Political passion is rare enough we don't want to squash it.

No, the White House didn’t ‘dissolve’ its pandemic response office. I was there.

President Trump gets his share of criticism — some warranted, much not. But recently the president’s critics have chosen curious ground to question his response to the coronavirus outbreak since it began spreading from Wuhan, China, in December.
It has been alleged by multiple officials of the Obama administration, including in The Post, that the president and his then-national security adviser, John Bolton, “dissolved the office” at the White House in charge of pandemic preparedness. Because I led the very directorate assigned that mission, the counterproliferation and biodefense office, for a year and then handed it off to another official who still holds the post, I know the charge is specious.
Now, I’m not naive. This is Washington. It’s an election year. Officials out of power want back into power after November. But the middle of a worldwide health emergency is not the time to be making tendentious accusations.
even with that it should be important to know how this started and where it came from. China lied and people died.
