Abdhy I think you might've hit some kind of daily limit for searing white-hot takes

I'm speaking as a man who is not seldom desperately rushed or lazy

I am a victim here

Yeah same, even though I was super luke warm on 4. Just to support pissing on the trumpers.

and no, we've learned what you think is a valid line to draw between taxes

it's tables and chairs

I don't know why you think the use of tables and chairs is the line where you should draw the taxing line, but you do

Elki

Is the trailer out?

Delmain

No, friday.

Ass tax.

Where you put your ass when eating.

I think people will still buy Farcry 5. Because it will most likely be a fun little 20 hour or so romp. On both sides of the spectrum.

The complaining will come from... elsewhere heh.

like, if weed was legalized tomorrow i imagine every grow operation in a state with legal weed would get an offer from some large conglomerate and the industry would flip from the wild west that it is now to basically be liquor

And some will take the bait, sure

weed has the major benefit of being stupidly easy to grow and growable basically anywhere

so unless the megacorp gets some rent-seeking regulations in place you'll still see a ton of boutique weed companies because the startup costs are pretty dang low

easier than setting up a brewery

and the market is already one that's pretty picky on quality, I mean sure some people are just gonna buy the cheapest shit you can buy but it's not like beer where everyone in the country drank bud or coors and you had to create a demand for craft beer from scratch

Gosh vowels, How likely could it possibly be that tobacco industry Giants will be able to convince state government to pass rent-seeking regulatory regimes that favor them while guaranteeing that sweet 40% tax base for the budget?

I mean, that sounds crazy. It couldn't possibly happen.

I mean yes, that is a bad thing

how do minimal taxes on existing companies prevent that?

Like, your argument is that the existing companies are being stifled by regulations and taxes (which they aren't, WA pot is running strong), or at least they could be doing better. And then with their extra pocket cash they can fight back against Big Tobacco?

but if they have the money to fight Big Tobacco then they're already a the kind of megacorp you don't want who's probably trying to push through their own rent-seeking regs

like, the fight between Big Industry and Startups exists independently of the tax and regulation issue

big money still big money

(aside: I'm not so sure Big Tobacco is going to swoop in and take over the weed industry anyway... IME once you become a big entrenched business you become shit at doing new things and the smaller companies come in to take what should have been your place. Amazon should have been Sears. iOS should have been WinMobile. That kinda thing.)

They could clearly be doing better. Like, maybe 30% better! That's a huge chunk of change either in realized profits or savings passed back to consumers to grow brand loyalty. I'm saying that whether or not the local industry fights off nationalized megacorps will be made harder by not having more cash in hand and more business infrastructure in place and more existing employees and better sales. Weed Amazon needs a very cheap and unregulated battlespace to compete in, or it loses for sure and by 2030 all your pot is imported from Ohio.

I guess I don't think it matters. Regulations and high taxes benefits big business. No regs and low taxes also benefits big business. Turns out everything is great when you have piles of cash.

Regs and taxes can't be too onerous of you want small timers to succeed, but I don't agree cutting those down to the bone, by itself, does anything to help the small scale businesses compete. It benefits the big players far more.

I once got offered to buy weed in Jamaica, but it was like, shitty off-colored ditch weed. That broke the illusion of Jamaica as a stoner paradise.

I didn't buy it.

It's set in middle America?

the hot counter of the spar by me has the world's saddest lasagna

carbohydrates was the only taste I could think of

which is the taste equivalent of it being quiet enough to hear your bloodstream

as I ate it while briskly walking to the light rail I wondered if I wasn't going to be a more cheery man at work without food, instead

Well, first you have the promo image. Then the poster. Then the teaser. Then the pre-trailer announcement teaser. Then the trailer 'leaks'.

Because it changes what type of business it is. If you were actually wondering.

I've pointed this out for years, but no one agrees that the answer is high taxes and subsidization for "small businesses" which we have decided is something we want

similar to how taxes are not a simple thing where you can fill it out on a single piece of paper, but then we let poor people get tax preparation for free

I can't wait for the innovative way Farcry 5 will give you 500 identical things to check off.

Yeah, that's just the teaser though, full trailer on friday

There's a multilayered joke here about Farcry, MRA's, and redneckism, but I'm not clever enough to make it.

Just let it be known I totally would have, had I been able.

What is the policy rationale of taxing dine-in food but not takeout food?

Hey chat. Walked my butt off today. Vienna is incredible. It's like the entire country had to take a test on how to ride an escalator properly and everyone passed. Hell of a thing to see.
