I'm too busy to look it up rn but by everything I've read CA has done a pretty horrible job with their legal marijuana policy and it's taxed too highly and so strictly regulated that it hasn't really decreased illegal marijuana production/purchases. Colorado has done a much better job and would seem to be the model to follow.spike wrote:Better than zero tax revenue, right guy?simple schoolboy wrote:In California's experience, legalization ends up with more illegal (often cartel run) grows. Tax rate has to be pretty low for it to go any other way.spike wrote:It’s mostly about moving closer to legalized marijuana, and the sweet tax revenue it will bring in.
And more illegal grows than before legalization? Care to share a citation for that one?

The Biden team really does not want to actually forgive student debt. New lawsuit is based off of a failure to have a comment period per the Administrative Procedures Act.

Context: it's been established that members of Venezuelan cartels crossed the border and are now living in Florida.
So the whole asylum applicants stay in Mexico during processing can occur, but only for when the admin is getting embarrassed?

... or when you actually negotiate with Mexico.
You're also assuming he means asylum seekers, but that's not clear because he says they're crossing the border illegally, and it legal to seek asylum.
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Sorry, I thought that was unilateral, but it looks like Trump threatened sanctions to get Mexico's compliance.

46th POTUS
I'm not sure we have ever had a more ineffective administration. I know we haven't in my life time. A puppet on a string for sure.
