    They do this on purpose. They can't refuse to put some of these issues to a vote because that will just show how fucking useless they are, so they instead make sure to introduce the legislation at the point in the legislative calendar where it's going to fail because they're lame duck or it's the holidays and nobody gives a fuck.

      They didn't even mention how Biden kicked the can to Congress even though he can reschedule it at will

      If we allow cringe legislation to pass like this we will lose elections

      Know a guy that has been a cannabis farmer almost his entire adult life that is down stream from a company that just bought a huge plot of land where they're growing thousands and there's nothing left now past that point.

        Some fruit farmers upstream from me used so much water during July that the canal level dropped and it crashed our system and when we got it running again I had to bleed air out for like 45 minutes in 115 f weather. It was bleak.

        Also I had to use my car windshield sunblock to cover the pump because it got so hot the water running through the pump couldn't cool it down so it kept shutting off. So once an hour I had to ladle a bucket of cold well water over the pump.

        I don't know how long we can keep going.
