Few workers, no prices, just a place to pay

Back when legalized pot was just a concept, I envisioned Iowa farmers switching crops and flooding the market. Produce enough of it, and it will be dirt cheap. People wouldn't bother to steal pot any more than they would raid a tobacco field.

I'm not saying that would be a good development for society. I just didn't envision all these small greenhouse operations.

How many times has that happened?

It's happening a lot... often hitting multiple sites at the same time...

Yikes!

Your reporter from the trenches....

Looking out the window just as beautiful as ever... but it sure does seem the fabric of society is unraveling...

Can't keep the streetlights on due to copper theft... can't leave anything in a car...

I swear driving on the freeway is more like the Autobahn with cars blowing past at 100+ mph and they are not being chased...

I guess no worries about 4.75 gallon gas?

It is having impact for the first time in history California is losing a Congressional Seat due to population...

Can't go anywhere without seeing help wanted and even sign in bonus...

I often wonder how landlords are supposed to pay their bills when they can’t collect and can’t evict.

Another excellent list of reasons I favor California's independence.

They are assumed to be rich and unworthy of consideration.

Beside, there are many more tenants than landlords and that is all those that made these rules care about anyway.

Say you are taxing the rich and it’s believed even though simple look at the numbers says the real money is taxing the middle class.

One of my contractors in Northern Nevada was having problems finding laborers. He does excellent work, but is poor with the admin part of a business. So I said I would help find some workers.

Holy cow- around here they are advertising CASH SIGNING BONUSES for straight laborers. Hmm- I thought "signing bonuses" were for NFL or MLB star candidates? Typical labor ad here: immediate openings, $20-$30 per hour, paid weekly, $3,000 cash signing bonus paid after 90 days of employment.

Get your cash bonus after 90 days, quit, move on to next job, pocket an additional 9-12K per year.
