Last time they were debating 10% tax, which would have been the lowest in the country.

Well we don't know yet, but we do know they have a shortage of growers here, which is going to make the shortages worse than they are now. Medical marijuana patients in NJ have faced shortages and high prices due to the shortages for quite some time. If supply is that much lower than demand, especially with people from PA and NY coming to get it, it's going to be priced high. I hadn't heard that the state sets the prices though.

Could you please explain what is funny about your dehumanizing homophobic epithet?

Without spinning it somehow on Trump Supporters....

I'm quite certain the vast majority of Biden supporters are also vehemently opposed to gay bashing as well.

What on earth are you talking about? He was dissing Mitch McConnell. Period. If you are a fan of Mitch, fine, but the rest of your complaint is totally off base.

its an inappropriate insult. we dont use insults that imply negativity to characteristics than many people portray as a part of their normal lives. one word that was commonly used as an insult that started with an f and ends with a t for a homosexual has been pretty successfully removed from the modern vocabulary. there is no need to use others.

also, there is no need to insult people based on characteristics that have nothing to do with the issues you have with them.

i wouldnt jump on retreiver for it, he is just an old guy that doesnt know better.

Okay. I have no idea what any of that means. It was not gay bashing any more than when people refer to him as Moscow Mitch implies he's a communist. I'm out.

that depends on how you feel about communists.

things are different now. we like our insults to be actual negative characteristics of the target not mocking someone for a random characteristic that isnt actually an issue (and making it as if the characteristic is a bad thing when its a normal characteristic of many people).

maybe im not clear and maybe this makes me sound like a snowflake. i am probably the least sensitive person that i know when it comes to receiving insults but i do try to be respectful of others and i try to avoid homophobic (or maybe anti-women) insults.

I think he thinks the poster used “Miss” on purpose. I think he was using his microphone and said “Mitch” and it misunderstood him as saying “Miss.”

I’ve had a ton of typos when I use voice text rather than my fat fingers. I don’t always notice them in time to edit.
