Why has the TW degenerated into scamfest for get-rich-quick trolls? Might be a good time to consider using moderators to filter out the con artist who post more often than the readers.
In 2019, the legalized sale of marijuana provided $2 billion dollars in taxes in 6 states. Follow the money. The revenue infusions will continue to skyrocket as good business sense trumps puritanism with more states rushing to legalization.
Danehy's woes about stoned drivers are belied by research showing:
"We conclude that 3 years after recreational marijuana legalization in Washington and Colorado, the changes in motor vehicle crash fatality rates observed in those 2 states do not significantly differ from rate changes in similar states without recreational marijuana legalization."

Moral: with the economy on the precipice, everybody must get stoned. It's a great way to keep local and state governments solvent.
When this insanity ends, hopefully in January, we will be left to pick up the pieces remembering a malignancy that placed a "fantastic" economy's well-being over the lives of children and their teachers. Those who believe young people are immune and that the worst symptoms will be the sniffles are beyond rational argument, facts, evidence, science, and that oldie but goodie, the truth.
Kudos to Tom's wife and the other unsung heroes who will place their lives and those of their families, friends, and co-workers at risk to serve their calling.
As a Boomer, I can only wish this will be the last presidential election with one of our cohorts leading a national ticket. Yes, I get it. Vote blue, no matter who. Check.
But really. We have a functionally illiterate president running for re-election challenged by a guy who is being sequestered and advised to stick with the script lest he begins rambling about disadvantaged families needing to listen to the radio more.
What you're missing TT is the simple fact that car accidents and other assorted causes of accidental or preventable deaths are not contagious. The annual flu season is and will continue to take a toll but does not overwhelm the healthcare systems. Vaccines are available at little or no cost at the local CVC, Walmart, or primary care physician office. We're not scrambling for ventilators, PPE, and toilet paper because of the flu season. It's here to stay for now and will kill tens of thousands just like heart disease and cancer.
This pandemic, in 3 months has killed more US citizens than the soldiers who died in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan in the past 50 years. I take that seriously. Do whatever you deem appropriate, just don't cough in my facee.

I can't wait for the debates.

Your right to enforce your own version of protection against a devastating pandemic ends where our collective lungs begin, in the nose and mouth.
Grow up.
