    I am what I am.. I feel victorious in the war on Cannabis.. Going to the dispensary is way cool.. Every gender, race, and age group goes in. The place is packed.

    Proud to be an American that can legally buy weed. I hope future cannabis users careers aren't as hard as mine was

    I did have a good engineering career here on the eastern shore.. It's just there are very few of them now. None worth abastaining for 30 days to be able to pass the one time test.

    I hate hiding my love for Cannabis.. All because wood pulp newsprint was more expensive than hemp paper.

    Perhaps, but that information is available without placing an ad. I would have to say that the 3rd example is the most likely.

    If your employer can't pay you enough, any payment you get from the gov to make up the difference is welfare for that corporation.

    What's needed is give you the power to bargain, you need a union ( a benign and effective union, not some corrupt thing ).

    You can't totally shut down the nation. If you do, the outcome would be far worse. Economic collapse would lead to riots, that would give Trump the power to declare martial law, and that would give him a whole host of dictatorial powers.

    You have to allow at least 2/3s of the economy to stay open. You sure has hell can't close grocery stores and gas stations.

    People are going to die. This virus isn't going to quit until at least half the world is infected.

    If the economy collapses, all hell will break loose. I'm afraid of what lies ahead. The nation is walking a tight rope. Another round of trillions of fiat bucks is going to cheapen the dollar even more, and that might lead to the dollar being removed as the world currency reserve, and if that happens, all the nations that have a vested interest in propping up America will no longer have that incentive. America will come tumbling down, with a moron at the helm, and that prospect is more frightening than I can imagine.

    Knock off with the litigious nonsense, you're adding more stress to an already stressful situation.

    How many is the question. The therapies are saving lives

    The other big question is how many will be permanently disabled?

    When you truncate someone's post, do this, [...] on the sections removed ( as I did here ) that way,
    when someone sees your post, they won't think my comment was just the one line, they will be alerted that my comment had more content, so they can backtrack if they want to find out what I posted. Not every one does this, but I do, it's courtesy.

    I will try.. I have not really figured out how to edit well yet. Thank you for the suggestion. I practiced here.. Is cutting and pasting the quote thingy the best way?? I totally agree with you that truncating context is unsatisfactory.

    Gee , if only Dirty Donnie had taken this pandemic seriously when there was still time to do something effective about it.

    As usual, the right screws up massively and the left has to fix it..........

    No need. Dirty Donnie has that covered with his ignorance, arrogance, and incompetence.
