That's not a problem for me. I don't have any kids or major expenses. I'm quite happy being a small business owner.
And yet you lobby for a system to increase your profits. Nice consistency.
Why is everyone making a profit off of cannabis a douche? Every grower and dispensary owner is a douche?
Way to fail at reading again. Your perpensity for allness statements is truly frightening. You honestly think that growers or dispensary owners can be characterized by blanket statements? I'd say it's sad that someone has to explain why profiteering is a bad thing to you, but frankly, I can't really say I expect better from you.
What if I profit off of something else, am I still a douche then? Are all business owners in America a douche? Is your local baker a douche if his business makes a profit? grow the fuck up.
Yes, Danny-boy... profiteering is bad regardless of the product, service or goods being exchanged. This whole "everyone else is doing it" mantra you have going is pretty indicative that I'm not the one who needs to grow up here, lad.
I haven't called you anything. You're the only one doing that here.
Quite frankly, I can't be arsed to do a search to look up appropriate links to prove the shenanigans of that statement, but whatever. I'll pretend that it's true. You may (or may not) have refrain from overtly calling myself or anyone else "names". But you've had no problems with making inferences and all sorts of blanket statements regarding the character and intent of those who oppose this proposition.
Why am I greedy for wanting to have a legal business, but those who make high profits off of cannabis being illegal are being "compassionate"? That's a load of crap.
And there we go with the "legal" and "legitimate" business again. For someone who claims to be in the current industry, you sure don't have a very positive view of your current enterprise. Once again, yes... there are douche-types that are in the industry that take advantage of people. The proposition doesn't remove them, just sets the bar for them to be douches legitimately.
Profiteering is what is going on now. There is over 1000% markup on cannabis currently from the time it's grow to the time it is sold in a dispensary. Yeah, that's real compassionate. lol. And I'm evil and greedy for wanting to put an end to that system.
No, for wanting to replace it with the same profiteering and gouging but under a retail model. Yes, there's a shit load of markup because there's far too many middlemen between growers and clients. Prop. 19 is nothing but middlemen and fees to be added between growers and clients. And once again, just because you and everyone
you know are dishonorable enough to apply egregious overhead and profit margins doesn't mean that no one else is capable of doing better. I personally know that the people I take care of and provide for are treated fairly. Prop. 19 does nothing and says nothing to put an end to ANY of the unjust profiteering at all.
Again. Voting for prop 19 isn't a vote to keep them in jail. That's a bunch of bullshit.
I didn't say it was a vote to keep them in jail. But, it does leave them there while you get to set up your legitimate business and profit. And that's the point, Danny-boy... try and follow it this time. No one is saying you put them there or even want to leave them there. What I am saying is that you are primarily concerned with your profit line at the expense of those that this proposition excludes and forgets. The only bullshit here is how easily placated your conscience is by the prospect of making money without having to worry about becoming one of those languishing away.
lol. What a bunch of crap. Just because you refer to your profits as compensation doesn't make it any different. You clearly just want to keep prohibition because of your own greed. You're making so much money off of prohibition being in place you're just afraid prohibition will interfere with your profits.
Nice inference. Of course, like much of the crap you spout, it's completely erroneous. In fact, like others have mentioned, I stand to make a fair amount of profit should Prop. 19 pass. Your desperation to prove that anyone who opposes you is as bad or worse than you are is just sad. I have no concerns with my finances and am quite content with the moderate life I live, but it's quite clear that you are willing to expand your profits no matter the consequences.
Prop 19 doesn't establish profiteering. Profiteering is what you're doing now. You just support prohibition because you're afraid other people can provide a superior product at a lower price.
Ohnoes! You found me outs... I can't makes da bomb herbs. Seriously... this is just pathetic. But, then again, context counts for everything and I must consider the source. But, the personal attacks in lieu of effective argument are still just sad pathetic dodges. You're right, Prop. 19 doesn't establish profiteering. It legitimizes it.
Just because you use the word compensation instead of profit doesn't make you morally superior. You make the profits you make because of prohibition. Prohibition is the reason for $400 ounces and $60 8ths. You support that system only because you're the one profiting off of it.
OK, sure. If that makes you feel better, then why not. I know it's a crock of shit, so it's no skin off my nose. If you really can't tell the difference between profiteering and reasonable compensation, then that's your problem. But keep pulling stupid, useless numbers out of your arse and pretending to care about anything else but your profits. I still think you need a chalkboard to go with the whole act. Maybe a banner in your signature from Goldline.
But go ahead, keep talking down to me for wanting to put an end to this systematic price gouging. Say whatever you have to say to keep raking in that cash. lol. hypocrite.
Yes, you are quite hypocritical. Keep blathering on about how much you hate the price gouging out one side of your face, while bemoaning your desire to make more profits out the other.
