Hahahahaha. Weed killed unemployement.
In Colorado, the legalisation of weed has provided so many jobs, that unemployment has dropped to a historical low of 2.6%.
It's starting to become a problem for some sectors, which are having trouble filling vacancies. Apparently trimming weed buds if a much preferred occupation for many folks over harvesting crops, or washing dishes in a restaurant.
i see where your going but careful trying to extend that logic out. their is such a thing as limited demand for said product and creating another tobacco lobby is something you don't want to do. its also not something i think should be promoted for mass consumption for a multitude of reasons.

Funny that you mention alcohol. Restaurants are not just complaining that their staff is running away to marijuana greenhouses and marijuana candy shops, which pay about double what they can offer, they are also complaining that their profits from selling booze have gone down substantially since weed was legalized 3 years ago.

EDIT: whoops, you only mentioned tobacco, thought you mentioned alcohol as well

That's technically an action, not a speech... Well it was only a matter of time before I had to write another scene of utter and horrifying perversion.

In all Fairness isn't ANTIFA what people refer to when they talk about the right to bare arms?

That if the government becomes corrupt that the people could rise up and take the law into their own hands?

:P (sorry I am just drinking in irony... Which is also double irony... maybe triple... because all sides... this is depressing actually...)

On normal internet forums, threads devolve from content into trolling. On Bay12, it's the other way around.

I just am worried about that issue due to their tendency to silence anyone that does not agree with them. If you are even a moderate you are a target.

Moderates tend to be treated as worse than extremists anyway... isn't there an old saying "Those in the middle of the road tend to be run over"?

Are they though? I've always noticed the people complaining the most about being silenced always tend me be some of the loudest in society.

ANTIFA is coming in with firearms now...

anyone actually serious about revolution or even street fighting uses an AR. the ammo supply + spare parts advantage is simply too huge to use anything else.

You would be surprised about the shear amount of russian made weapons in the U.S.

No, I wouldn't be. I know there's an insane number of them, but that doesn't change the fact that 5.56 is miles more common than 7.62, and there are a crapload of AR-patterns in the country.

This reality is not nearly happy enough to allow us the wonder of a real liberal crime squad, merely glimpses of what could be. When hippies wielding stolen assault rifles start running into battle with the police shouting "We Need A Slogan!", maybe the time will have come.
