Aggressive taxes create a black market for goods. To protect the tax revenue the govt must be aggressive about prosecuting unlicensed operators who do not pay taxes. This is counter to the social politics of wanting to end the war on drugs.

The purpose of parallel construction is to not disclose the actual methods used by law enforcement because they may be illegal and/or disclose sources of information that they would like to keep confidential. It only needs to be minima

Sounds like parallel construction.

I think the problem for the artist is that the demand for tickets far exceeds supply. Imagine if the only way to see Bad Bunny is to pay $5000/ticket. I’m fairly confident large artists could sell out at these prices. The problem is yo

While the arguments are repetitive this isn’t a culture war. The EU made its bed (or more likely, imported it) and now has to sleep in it. Deindustrialization has been ongoing.

Emperor of All Maladies is this but for 20th century cancer research. I too want to read your planned book.

As crazy as it sounds 2.5hr of exercise per week is not a crazy expectation to care for one’s health.

Money is a huge motivator. Aside from the fact that $100 check every month can directly subsidize healthier food choices.

Weight is a proxy for all sorts of related diet issues. You can lose weight on a Twinkie diet and not be metabolically healthy at the same time. A healthy diet requires more than just the appropriate caloric intake. Although that’s a great

No need to downvote this. Long history of documented corruption.

Some questions: did she go low sugar in that period? How many sodas did she drink before she backslid? I would drink at least 48oz per day. I stopped eating things with added sugar. Now a lemonade is too sweet for me. But if I drink 3-4 sod

Thank you for asking this. This plagued me for years as an undergrad physics student.

Doesn’t feel like it to me. I eat 2000-2500cal/day and try to maintain 3500-4500cal burn(1hr lifting, 1hr peloton bike, 1.5hr hike daily). I keep my cardio around 140-145bpm so pretty leisurely. Increasing intensity just made me hungri

I tell people that losing weight is reverse Pareto. The last 20% of the work is worth 80% of the results.

Manufactured a bit more than just cannabis over the years. Made everything from centrifuged orange juice for screwdrivers(the beverage) to some synthesis work. There was a 100-person business at one point and this is the remains.

I had 10,000sqft of belongings up until a few months ago. About 100 stainless tables, 50 office chairs, desks, maybe 100+ racks, 20 chillers, 5 rotovaps, maybe 1000 beakers, etc. At this point I’m just giving away chromatography gear, HPLC

These are the mainstream e-cigs. Vape shops pushing disposables is still a big market. There will be no new cigarette companies. As long as you continue the whack-a-mole against new entrants your customer base is protected. Altria surely d

Depends entirely on the regulatory framework. Up until now crypto has been largely unregulated. With regulatory I don’t think it will be as volatile/attractive.

Chase is superior to WF and BoA both in tech and wait times in branch. I’ve lived in a handful of cities and used them all concurrently for years. If you’re doing any kind of business you want to be at US Bank, Farmers & Merchants, East

There are plenty of non-tech equities at reasonable P/Es. There’s also shorting the market. ARK may be down but SARK is up…

Yes, it’s bad. Gas and rent are very high. People are broke and not spending. Everyone in retail, including myself, is feeling it.

Yes, it’s brutal. With the Tax Cut and Jobs Act you can incorporate more expenses in to indirect COGS but sales, marketing, opex, admin are non-deductible.

It’s the smart move. Frankly, it was a mistake to open in CA in the first place. CA is not business friendly and definitely not an affordable place to manufacture goods. Unless your business depends on local sales or needs to hire professio

As a former medical researcher the underlying issue is that regulations only ratchet one way. There’s numerous ethics and oversight committees to please and rules put in place because of negligence or misconduct. There’s a line between huma

I’m surprised there’s still people who think he’s just a calculated puppeteer who has everyone fooled with his act. If it’s an act and he’s actually sharply insightful then I would’ve expected someone in his inner circle, present or former,
