oil tends to go low when demand hits record lows and goes high when demand goes up when reopening the economy. Tends to happen when 1yr+ long supply chain issues remain unresolved. Tends to happen when the last guy adds 2 T in debt when he passes tax cuts we didn't need and prints additional trillions in COVID corporate welfare.
Except, Cuddles4BS is a Canadian. I guess he does not care about his soy boy, Justin Trudeau so, instead is meddling in US affairs? Get a life and stay in your country.
Imagine being outflanked by the right from the left?: https://www.wane.com/news/gop-bill-would-federally-decriminalize-marijuana/ GOP bill would federally decriminalize marijuana WASHINGTON (NewsNation Now) — A Republican lawmaker introduced a bill that would decriminalize marijuana use at the federal level, and it’s gaining bipartisan support. The measure would not change local-level restrictions, meaning that states would still determine their own marijuana statutes. But the bill would levy a 3% federal excise tax on all cannabis products, proceeds from which would go to small businesses, retraining law enforcement and mental health services, among other services. The measure would also expunge nonviolent, cannabis-only related offenses. “It allows states to do what they are doing today and want to do with regards to release and expungement,” said South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace, who introduced the bill. “It gets the federal government out of the way of what states are already doing today and levies a 3% excise tax. It creates a framework for regulation at the federal level much like alcohol.” Mace broke down the bill with NewsNation’s Adrienne Bankert on “Morning in America.” You can watch the full interview in the player above. Mace said the bill will be co-sponsored by at least half a dozen GOP House members. “I tried to make this palatable for both sides of the aisle, and having expungement and release of federal non-violent cannabis users was a big component of that,” said Mace. “Republicans and Democrats alike have for years now tried to create second chances for these kinds of individuals and this bill does that. It will affect about 2,600 inmates, given the expungement and release.” According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, 36 states and four territories allow medical cannabis use, while 18 states, two territories and the District of Columbia allow non-medical adult use. American support for marijuana legalization has grown, underscoring a national shift as more states have embraced cannabis for medical or recreational use. According to a Gallup survey conducted earlier this year, more than two in three Americans supported legalizing marijuana, maintaining a record high reached a year earlier. The measure would tackle regulation of marijuana in three silos, giving the U.S. Department of Agriculture purview over growers, while the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives would oversee the cannabis industry. Medical marijuana would be regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, Mace said, adding that she would propose the drug be regulated similarly to alcohol. But some of Mace’s fellow South Carolina Republicans have pushed back against the bill. South Carolina GOP Chairman Drew McKissick released a statement rebuking Mace’s bill, not referencing her by name but saying the state GOP opposed “any effort to legalize, decriminalize the use of controlled substances, and that includes this bill.” “I don’t know why some Republicans are pushing back on federalism and states rights. That’s something that Republicans champion right?” Mace said on “Morning in America.” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D.-N.Y.) in July became the chamber’s first leader to back legalizing marijuana, pledging to “make this a priority in the Senate,” where Sens. Cory Booker, of New Jersey, and Ron Wyden, of Oregon, have drafted legislation. Mace said the tax on Schumer’s proposal was too high. “The beauty of the 3% excise tax, it is very much different than Senator Schumer’s proposal of 25%. If you have a tax that high, there’s going to continue to be an illegal illicit and black market,” said Mace. “And so this bill, again, would provide a framework that would reduce the proclivity for an illicit market or a black market in states across the country.” Legalization advocates hope to have a champion in Vice President Kamala Harris, who said before her election that making pot legal at the federal level is the “smart thing to do.” Cannabis companies recently have launched a celebrity-infused campaign to enlist marijuana users to pressure members of Congress to legalize pot nationwide. The “Cannabis in Common” initiative makes it easier for supporters to email or call their congressional representatives and push for making marijuana legal. Pro-legalization groups have mounted state and federal campaigns for years, and advocates are split about “Cannabis in Common,” which isn’t focused on any particular piece of legislation. Organizers say it breaks ground by extensively involving major industry players and mobilizing their customers.
I am not pro pot but the banking problems that exist in that industry need to be addressed, which would help with financial transparency. However, any federal approval would open up legal interstate commerce. That, Imo would be detrimental, keeping business strictly within the state helps curb organized crime.
As far as I know. You know how I know? From his own mouth. He was talking about Canadian taxes at one point and trying to get help on his taxes if I recall correctly. Now, Cuddles has not disputed this even when he used Here4Money. Remember that? I only go by what these ET trolls post unwittingly, about themselves. Now, these same ET trolls hiding the fact that they are foreigners, interfering in US affairs?
I was surprised, that's all. I think all of the raving lefties are Canadian or not American. GWB being the exception, though he's not really a lefty, he's just a raving authoritarian (similar).
Even Destriero is a foreigner, from Colombia. Again, that was on his profile. I think he removed it now. All these foreigner trolls interested in interfering in US affairs, why I do not know. These guys do not even live in the US, nor are they US citizens. Stay in your countries. We have enough traitors, trying to destroy the US from within.
