Then the state can revoke their business license. The state has more power than what you think. You pay taxes to the federal government but the state is the one that licenses your business. Franchises must obtain business license in each state they are opened in for this very reason.

I have my prescription for pain relief due to still pins in my back. But unlike most people on this thread I do not want separate lines. I feel like shit when I walk past people that have already been waiting for 30 minutes. Sounds like I'll start going to hippos instead of green light. An getting rid of the anxiety with marijuana is a really good trick considering the drug causes paranoia in most people. Where did you get your prescription the cannabuss.

You dumb s*** medical professors have already did the calculations. Officer do you think you could smoke or eat a 10 pound block of pure THC. I tell you what world record speed eaters couldn't put that much away in the time it would take to kill them. Even as concentrate. This is a case of uneducated d****** trying to scare the public.

The traffic will chill out as soon as they get the secondary sites up and running. Most all of the vape places have applied for sale. Vapor world is waiting for that very thing they've already got the building next to them bought. That used to be A CBD dispensary. This is just the growing pains of the industry. When this happens green light will be a ghost town because there setup.

I'm sure hes not considering that a living wage. Considering you can make 16.50 starting at McDonald's. Or 25 working for most any reputable auto shop. Which will usually hire heavy equipment mechanics in a second. Especially military trained ones. Sounds to me like he may be on here winning because he doesn't have enough money to buy a brand new Tesla or a million dollar house. A living wage is different than a wage that will support your preferred lifestyle. A living wage means you have to sacrifice creature comforts that most people do not want to sacrifice. A living Wage does not mean your employer pays you enough to eat doordash every day. While driving a brand new car. I think him for his service but advise him to wake up to reality. Just like all of you that keep on bitching about living wages. That don't understand what a living wage is. There is a huge difference in a living wage and a wage that will support most wanted lifestyle. As a business owner it is my responsibility to provide you with a living wage. Not a lifestyle wage. If you want a lifestyle wage work somewhere for more than 10 years to earn it. Or open your own shop. Quit trying to make employers make you just as comfortable in life as they are. They are taking all the risk and you are taking none. They have put in the work and earned it you have not. You are not special and you deserve nothing your parents lied to you. I'm sorry the truth smacks you in the face when you get to the real world. An yes I know I'm going to get more negative karma because I'm telling the truth. People don't want to hear the truth they want to live in their delusions. While crying about their life. I am ex military I opened my own businesses and I earned my own way. Because I wanted a lifestyle not a living wage. And it's nobody else's responsibility to give me that lifestyle.

How it makes a difference is a lot of Opioid deaths are done by taking legal prescriptions. In greater amounts than subscribe. Marijuana is cheaper than the subscriptions and in a lot of cases better for the job. So more people turn to it instead of bigfarma.

I have several employees I don't have a problem finding help and my employees are happy. You also most certainly can live on 13 to $14 an hour in Springfield easily. You just can't afford to have every digital service known to man. Or drive brand new vehicles. I'm sorry you can't afford a Tesla on $14 an hour. This doesn't mean your employer is not paying you a livable wage. I can't afford absolutely everything I want because my employer doesn't pay me enough. This is the mentality of a small child throwing a temper tantrum. An your words express this ever so eloquently. Entitled children. Open your own business and your views will change because reality will smack you in the face.

Cost of living in popular bluff is actually higher and they make less so they are a lot poorer than us. This study is going strictly on how much you make. Which is a mistake you also have to factor in the cost of living in the area. When corporations set payroll for salary workers in an area they do it by cost of living. I pay people here in Springfield 13 to $14 an hour to do the same job I pay people 25 to $27 an hour to do in Saint Louis. The reason for this is cost of living. It's an average of 2 to $3 per item more expensive to buy the same thing I sell here. In my restaurants that are ran in Saint Louis to for this very reason. I have to be able to pay a living wage to my employees and still make a big enough profit to keep said business running. This is the reason everybody that owns a business is getting really sick of hearing whiny and entitled little shit stains. Yelling we need to raise minimum wage. Then I have to raise the price of my goods to keep my doors open so does everyone else which means you didn't actually get a raise in minimum wage due to the inflation. If everybody has the same amount of something it is worthless. Most democrats can't grasp this fact.
