Screwball

As I read it, the tax is on the supplier to the retailer. The retailer would then decide how much of their raised cost they would pass along to the customer. IOW, I don't "think" this is a direct tax on the retail customer.

Because he is giddy he makes so much money feeding the gullible a bunch of BS on a nightly bases. He probably jokes with the makeup artists how big of a stud he is. Balls ain't his thing. Rare commodity today.

Why would anyone give one good **** about who is on the news? Why would anyone watch that **** to begin with?

LOL! The ****ing world has went bat**** crazy. Where do you get off this ride?

Don't know where to put this because could fit here or in general stuff, but it could get political so I will go here. From an Ohio guy who has been going to the pot Mecca of Monroe Michigan for probably 3 years. About an hour and 15 minutes if I avoid the nationally known speed trap of Woodville, Ohio, and use my Easy Pass to get on the pike at Rt. 51 and go North on 280 through Toledo. Been to probably 10 places around there. I get stuff for people here since I'm retired and have time. Sunday at one place has 15% off for seniors, so I have been the designated senior. 🙂 Helping a few cancer victims as well. Glad to help. Ohio rips you off, which is where I'm going with this. As of the new year, Michigan added more tax starting yesterday I think. Ohio, on the other hand, went recreational a year ago but have failed miserably to figure out what the hell to to. Way over priced here, so everyone still goes to Michigan. The parking lots in Monroe are full of Ohio plates. We drive around and look. The budtenders tell me the same thing. An OZ in Monroe that is $100 (minus all the taxes) is $220 here. We voted to legalize this and the Ohio body just passed new laws to limit where some products can and can't be sold. For example, to limit sales at gas stations and retail stores. This seems to about CBD type products, but I'm not sure. There is also a bunch of stupid rules about how it needs to be transported and contained. You can't take a gummy in public, and any product you take with you needs to be out of reach from the driver of the car. Giggle. OK. They also made it illegal for us Ohio people to bring back stuff from Michigan. Best I can tell, it was already illegal, as a federal law. OK. Looks like the Ohio people are trying to protect the revenue here, but people wouldn't go to Michigan if they had there **** together here. Duh! It looks like the new tax in Michigan is only on the producers who sell to the retailers? The retailers can either eat the increase in tax, or pass some or all it onto the consumer? What's the word on the streets up Michigan way? What should we expect going forward?

On the Silver trade; Don't really know the guy above but that caught my eye. From CNBC: Gold, silver prices fall after CME raises precious metals margins — again Silver get smacked around a bit this week.

LOL - I just figured this out two days later. MOO should have been MOH - Duh! Still didn't catch it the second time. This is what happens when you get old and stupid(er).

Yea, something like that. Her and her husband are both lawyers and I've always wondered how they got so much stupid in only two bodies. The are the poster children for people with book smarts and zero street smarts.

94 years young. Munger was 99 when he went a while back.

Another calendar thing that used to drive me nuts was the high school graduation stuff. Sunday, of Memorial Day weekend. The ceremony at noon. I get it, you have to have a commencement, but why then? Our little hick town school only graduated 40-50, but I guess that doesn't matter. I did it four times. I escaped high school long before that and only went to ceremony because mom would have kicked the living crap out of me if I didn't. BFD. That's what your suppose to do. Life will be calling, this is fantasy. Giddy up. It was also the same time as the Indy 500. Spit.

Weddings are nuts. I don't get it. When my oldest got married the brides family were - let's say skeptical - about our family of crazy people. We liked to party and have a good time, but they were not into that stuff. The were as squeaky clean as could be. The reception got a little wild once their side found out they couldn't handle the booze, dancing, and kick ass music. When we left, the maid of honor was sitting on the ground against a post right outside the front door where everybody left, after pissing herself (puddle running down the asphalt) while she held a beer asking someone to help her. I have fallen and I can't get up. People are so funny.

I'm only half joking, but doesn't anyone EVER look at a calendar when they plan that stuff? 🙂 I know, I know... I think it was 2012. The Tigers were in the playoffs and I had to go to a wedding. Girlfriends daughter was the MOO. She told me about it, and the first thing I checked was the game times. Sure enough, wedding was OK, but the reception was during the game. I couldn't get out of it. I warned her right up front - I WILL find a way to watch this game - just so you know. She was a Tiger fanatic so she was good with it. We get to the reception hall. Rectangle room with a partition toward one end. I went snooping behind the curtain and sure enough there was a bar and some tables back there. At the end of the bar was a TV. Oh, goody! So I wander in there expecting to get kicked out because the only people in there were the workers taking care of the food and drink for the wedding in the other room. Hi! I want to make you a deal. I really really need to watch the baseball game tonight, and if you can get that on for me you all will have a very nice night, if you know what I mean, as a threw a $20 bill on the bar. They were all for that, so I sit down at the end of the bar, they turned on the TV, and we were good. I kept tipping them all night as they brought me beers. Everything was cool, and we were having a ball. Until... IIRR, close game, maybe 8th inning some jerk and his wife comes wandering back there. Guy says to one of the workers "hey, there is a football game on." I says, no there isn't. Yes there is. Nope. Yea, channel X. Nope not happening. I was getting worried. This guy was getting pissed. One of the workers comes over and tells this guy "we are not allowed to change the TV on orders by the boss so it stays on the baseball game." Ha! Thank you very much as the guy left and I tossed another $10 bucks on the bar. Probably cost me 50 bucks to watch the game but I watched it. They lost... And the rest of the story. Everything got over and I was, lets say, a little tipsy. I then find out, of no surprise to me, the car we rode to the reception no longer had a driver (these were highly educated people - go figger). Shouldn't be a problem until they figured out it was a stick and nobody could drive it. Can you drive a stick? Why yes, yes I can, but I am also 3 sheets into the wind. Well you are the only one who can drive a stick and these 4 people need to be taken home - all over Columbus, Ohio - no less. Thanks assholes... I somehow made it. Don't ever ask me to a wedding again.

I was playing with my AI Aussie buddy tonight. I never expected this one; You can't do that. I got out and got back in and it was fine. Short break I guess. Too funny.
