We can't begrudge people for needing to make a living. Are some people going to act irresponsibly, yep, sure, always going to happen. But the majority of Americans can not afford to stay in a complete lock down.
So you recognize the absurd and the subtleties. So wonderful.

Okay I see your point. I will tune it down a bit, and no more nuclear weaponry.

I moved on to a new business model to make ends meet and feed the babies. Although it seems I am again not allowed to cook up a bit of cocaine to sell to willing buyers. It's a stupid silly consensual transaction between a free manufacturer and a free buyer.

It's a flagrant violation of my right to do business and feed my kids.

Hookers have a better business model...

They can wash their crack and sell it again, although they do seem to be up against some stiff competition.

It could disappear. Not the most helpful thread for sure. Question is, how long before a mod removes it? "Hello Mod. Are you there? It's me Margaret.".

I share you thoughts. So far I have only lost a few weed customers. The amount of excess inventory has now become an addition to personal use and I don't have to go to the liquor store.
