I have a feeling this news station is full of poo poo, because they're based out of Memphis and every other news site is still saying three weeks, but:

https://wreg.com/news/stimulus-relief-to-be-deposited-to-many-americans-this-week/

quote:

"It’s my understanding those checks of $1,200 per person for people with incomes under $75,000 a year, $2,400 for a couple and an additional $500 per child will start being direct deposited this week," Rep. Cohen said.

So maybe trumpbux sooner or maybe not.

/\ part of me wants to say "good, gently caress them" but another part says just let them off their drat boats and stuff them into warehouses for a few weeks for quarantine. Make sure it's an uncomfortable warehouse too, wouldn't want to encourage them to take another cruise when they get two weeks in a cushy hotel room after.

So, there's been a rash of fake cops pulling people over lately in Colorado.

Fort Collins and Greeley are among five different areas in Colorado where police impersonators have been reported in the past week, according to KUSA. It is not immediately clear if any of the same people are involved in the different incidents, which are all under investigation in the various cities.

I think it's largely that he was a stray last winter, so he's been comfortable behaving knowing how good he has it now.

Not having another cat, he's been mimicking Frank. Hasn't started barking though.

Older Beans pic, I think this was about 2 months after taking him in as stray. Such a good boy.



Little dude is so well behaved now. When Frank demands pets, Beans flops down next to him, usually in the same manner and position, and demands lower back scratches. He curls up little spoon style to Frank sometimes. Grooms Frank. He's never sprayed my apartment down with piss either. All good reasons to keep his balls. He's earned them.

A whole lot of people in my "essential" workplace are getting let go. A lot of the older folks within a few years of retirement just got packaged out, and the majority of the contract people are gone.
They also packaged out our Occupational Health Nurse who was the first one to take this poo poo seriously, she was sending chunks of departments go if people had coughs.

My mom is a COTA, who was teaching OTAs, before this poo poo went down. They cut a bunch of teaching staff from her school, her included, right after they put their class poo poo online. She's nearing 60, type 1 diabetic, and I've been telling her to just collect collect unemployment what with the $600 extra a week they're giving now. She wants to find another job, go back to a recovery wing or something, but I think she understands better now that people are going to need her after this is over and recovery for some of the harder hit is going to be needed. Until then, she just needs to hang out with the grandkids and plant a garden while raking in unemployment.

She really wants to get back out on the job market though, and she trends conservative leaning politically, so who the gently caress knows.

Colorado is going blue no matter what, so I'm still writing in Bigfoot for president. Now the VP, I'm still hammering out who to write in. Leaning towards Mothman as of late.

I'll take my sweet rear end time researching all the down ballot folks and vote as progressively as possible, thanks to my ability to sit on my rear end and mail my ballot in (thanks CO). Frankly, down ballot is just as important, if not moreso, especially if you live in a conservative suck town like Colorado Springs like my dumb rear end. I can't imagine trying to research all those candidates for local gov positions again while voting in a goddamn booth. And I'll happily vote against a conservative for judge or sheriff or whatever.

Tax is next to nothing for medical, like 2%. Rec weed in Denver is taxed closer to 25%, but it's still affordable, ounces of flower around $100-150 after tax, wax closer to $20/g after tax.

Oh you can definitely pay more here. There are shops that still charge black market prohibition state prices.

Colorado Springs doesn't have rec weed, just medical. There are two rec shops Manitou Springs, they still charge $60/eighth after tax, because they're the only two rec shops in the county and people would have to drive to Denver or Pueblo to get rec otherwise.

Pretty much, BLM or parks. Difference is BLM land can be used for oil and gas exploration, cattle grazing, mining, that type of poo poo on lease.

Virginia joins the marijuana cool crew and decriminalizes.

https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2020/4/13/21158103/virginia-marijuana-legalization-decriminalization


quote:

On Sunday, Gov. Ralph Northam (D) announced he signed a bill that will eliminate jail time for simple marijuana possession, leaving only a civil penalty with a fine in place for the first offense. Northam previously said decriminalization was a priority for him, and the newly elected Democratic-controlled legislature soon followed his lead.

Most every state that legalizes still takes the decriminalization route. Tickets will probably be doled out to idiots smoking in public or making it very obvious that they don't care from their balconies or whatever. Reducing weed to a low priority crime is a good first step.

This largely just means you get a ticket instead of a year probation for a joint.

Of course the best thing to do is not get caught in the first place.

E: what's weird to think about is that Mississippi took this step like twenty goddamn years ago and they still don't have legal weed.

Forums being weird for anyone else?

Another interesting thing, most states with medical marijuana have public facing records of who is a card holder.

This is helpful to know if you plan to get a card and buy firearms, because the fed still looks at medical as criminal drug use, so buy your guns before you get a medical card.
