    I can now go buy weed in stores in NJ. Another year and NY as well. So sometimes governments can get tiny things right.

    Where would it end though? How much of their money would be enough? I agree with you that there is no need for starvation given how advanced we are as a species, but if we’re gonna fix shit it needs to be collective. We cant blame billionaires when we as individuals dont carry our own weight of the burden.

    "Their money" without government grants funded by our tax dollars these self proclaimed gods would not have all they have.

    Most lf it is tax breaks, dont see a whole lot of government grants. Contracts, certainly. Massively bloated and hemorrhaging our tax dollars? Absolutely.

    My point is that most peoPle are full of shit. We’re all capable of helping our fellow man, but we dont, instead we point the blame elsewhere. It sounds good on twitter. Endless virtue signaling. People need to drop the phone and do something instead of blaming republicans.

    Im gonna end there. Feel this is going somewhere unnecessary. Love you brother

    Musk's SolarCity reported in 2015 that it had received $497.5 million in direct grants from the US Treasury Department. Thats just 1 grant. Elon got over 4 billion us dollars

    Solar city? Interesting. A certain party was pushing a package deal that would have cost us trillions not too long ago. Something along the lines of a green new deal. Dont see the problem.

    Not throwing out any republican hate. I am not a partisan and love all people. I am of the weed tribe. But i hear ya bro. Politics on a weed board is best avoided.

    Im not a republican. I was a liberal up until a couple years ago when i mention that the 1st and 2nd amendments are fundamental to our country, and called a racist because i believe a country needs to control its borders. The left hates me because of that, the right hates me because i dont fully align with their narrative either. Anyhoo. Neither here nor there.
