No. Not at all. But you gotta recognize that these guys are all about the show. That’s how the system works for everyone. Everyone needs their sound bites, clips, PR, stance, etc. Its showmanship at a circus not reality.

I think if the case was opposite you’d have Dems calling instead.

It’s just for show, nothing else.

That staffer and their office has no jurisdiction there. It’s all for show.

> Licenses need to be easier and less expensive to acquire

They are... just not in the frequencies and geographies that many people want to broadcast in. There are tons of cheap, especially low power stations across the country... a lot of them religious based. A lot. Like way more than you'd ever imagine

Yeah, nothing changed, people tried to be cool in high school forever. They all failed too.

These guys don't. They get views from their high school friends. The amount of social media accounts getting "hundreds of thousands of views on tiktok" is almost certainly a tiny tiny fraction of a percent of accounts

My unsolicited opinion. If subs are gonna verify good accounts posting links, they also need to ban bad ones posting links. There is no reason not to hit from both ends

Its all the same, internet clout or your buddies watching you and telling everyone at school.

As someone who spends zero time on "nyc tiktok" I'm not surprised by this either. Teens did crazy and dangerous shit 2000 years ago, 20 years ago and today.

There's plenty of dive bars in the East village with pool tables. Generally $2 a game

A short list: Monas, Sophie's, Josie's, Lucy's, B-side, Spotted Owl, Parkside, Blue & Gold, Ace Bar, Cherry Tavern, Doc Holliday's.

I'm sure there's some in Hell's Kitchen too.

You’re fine

I don’t know if that’s the case, just that it’s a pretty prominent thing in the Brazilian community. It’s not NYC related though, NYC doesn’t have an over abundance of Brazilians here (documented or not)

It’s big in the Brazilian community. This type of stuff would be fully expected. Both his marriage and trying to recruit others.

"married" you mean

>Former roommate Morey-Parker told the Daily Beast that Santos once “tried to get me to marry some Brazilian woman so she could get citizenship” — saying he could make money from the deal. The report did not elaborate on when that suggestion was made.

This is more interesting, basically we are all confirming his previous marriage was a citizenship scam (which isn't uncommon at all)

Don't trust anything from Leafly in the slightest. Nothing they post isn't meant to be 100% self serving for the company. They'd post any story that served their interest.

They are not a news org in any sense, they are an online ad sales/storefront for weed stores.

The study seems like bullshit. It’s somewhat anecdotal. It could be correct, but i think there has to be more to validate it.

Recalls generally are just a political nonsense tool in the US unfortunately. Not that Santos should be in office, and this is the exact type of thing a recall is supposed to be able to fix, but recalls across the board are mostly a bad idea because it essentially turns your entire tenure into a constant political campaign among other negatives. It’s got pros and cons

Anyways I think you specifically cannot recall federally elected people only state.

He doesn’t seem to give a fuck. The tight speaker vote may have saved him.

Mods can you ban this poster - its a spam account, its been spamming all over reddit the last couple days.

Outside of the mega stores. I’d doubt there is realistic analysis that larger square footage results in proportional increases in profit.

What can they do? I’ve been to a lot of dispensaries, except the mega stores which are totally impractical here, they usually work best as small operations. That’s kinda their thing. It’s inexpensive to operate and takes a small foot print.

This isn’t relevant to my question.

Why would you need 7500 sq ft for a dispensary in a highly dense, expensive, urban area?

I think the assumption (I'm making) was that the marriage was a green card fraud... im sure thats the connections others are making but they cant prove it yet

Yeah this was before that (we're on the same page)
