I swear the former "man of the people" has IMO turned into one of the deep swampiest creatures out there lately.
I read about this the other day ... he's a fk'n moron (as I'm gittin' ready to fire up)...
he wants unregulated kind bud ... even though I'd love to grow muh own, it's beyond stupid to fall on this sword in this fashion...
Quote:The proposed bill adds various parameters to the definition of hemp, which would prevent "the unregulated sale of intoxicating hemp-based or hemp-derived products, including Delta-8, from being sold online, in gas stations, and corner stores, while preserving non-intoxicating CBD and industrial hemp products," according to the bill summary.
Paul railed against the provision on X after filing an amendment to strike the proposed altered language.
at least the opposition understands what happens to thc-a once heat is applied...
disclaimer: muh shite is only hi-strain quality .... fk all that bs...

The fact that we don't encourage every single American to have an HSA is just stupid
Trump talked about giving kids $1000 savings to start life with .. this would be a great place to put them. Every American should have an HSA and employees and employers should work together to fund that HSA
Instead we find health plans no one can afford to use because the deductibles are so high and all your healthcare money goes to premiums
I always thought it would be cool if every employer had to pay the wage plus a retirement contribution plus a HSA contribution. Even the minum wage would be changed to that, i.e. $7.25 plus 10% retirement plus 10% HSA. There probably would need to be a limit on the HSA portion but even for a single person earning a middle class salary, putting $4K-$6K away for healthcare may not be a bad idea, especially if you are talking about a post-insurance world.

That's what they did with the Obamacare $$$. It was a windfall. They could charge whatever they wanted and tge consumers didn't care what premiums were because the tax payers were the difference. Give out vouchers instead and increase the competition.
