I feel the same. Calling it "marijuana" is racist. It's like continuing to call Black people "colored" to me. Can we please just call it cannabis? I don't understand why you're getting a bunch of downvotes, you're right.

Reply to comment by insofarincogneato in Pennsylvania Lawmakers Propose Making Diwali a State Holiday by zorionek0
You literally did. Now that that’s settled.
It’s also not since:
-
The action is not coercive.
-
No one could reasonably see a day off as proselytizing or endorsement.
-
Christmas (for example) is a holiday, yes, but there are numerous secular holidays as well meaning the government isn’t promoting that they only recognize Christian things, as an example. Saying that giving the day off is a violation would also call into question things like Black History Month as a violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments which ban government preference based on ethnicity or race.
-
Granting days off that hold societal significance is itself a reasonable enough secular purpose.
From Ganlun v. United States:
Instead, the government’s accommodation simply acknowledges the existence of this religious exercise and avoids stifling it. Zorach, 343 U.S. at 314 (“When the state . . . cooperates with religious authorities by adjusting the schedule of public events to sectarian needs, it follows the best of our traditions. For it then respects the religious nature of our people and accommodates the public service to their spiritual needs.”)
I hope you’re done playing dumb and actually learn something.

Hmmmm. You may feel that way. Other people in the state may feel that way. Every watcher of Faux “News” feels that way. But facts don’t bear it out. He left office with strong approval ratings, was the first governor in PA in decades to see his successor win, and plus his mitigation methods flat out saved lives. And also with your logic, it was his freaking Lt Gov who was right there with him with everyone of those mitigation methods that ultimately won the seat!!!!!! And mind you, Fetterman was also to the left of Wolff.
I also think you fail to realize there is only person that needs to make the choice- that’s Josh Shapiro.
But then again, I believe a “senator” wolf would most likely win PA particularly if the election was in 24 and coincided with a Biden win and if we was already seated in the senate. Plus Casey will be running too.
But underestimate him. People did that his whole career, me included until later in his first term. I for one am very glad and proud he was our governor during 2020 and not a tyrant like Ron deathsantis whose policies led to more people dying.

I'm a bicyclist. I was nearly hit by two different pickup trucks on Thursday. Yes, drivers suck. But I still have trouble believing that if someone violates the law and kills someone, the cops do absolutely nothing.

Fine, be pedantic. If the driver had passed a stopped school bus with flashing lights, and hit and killed a child, they would have been arrested. Sorry for assuming that part was clearly implied.

For now. That was changed by an executive order from Wolf. It can be undone in an instant by any other governor.
You cannot legally own a gun in any state if you use cannabis because federal prohibition makes any user a prohibited person.

Why did they put in those “loopholes” if not for people to use them? And your not being a tax expert sure didn’t slow your roll when advocating for raising my taxes. I just want to know how much of my money is enough for you

No they can't. There is only so much you can do by itemized deduction to lower their incomes.
Someone who is a millionaire only has to be mid to late 40s with a 401k, a home and two incomes that total 150k.
You might be thinking super wealthy

I don’t think you can say that I am reducing Clinton to who she was married to. She had achievements in her own right. She was a strong contender for the nomination in 2008, and went on to win the nomination in 2016.
Giselle Fetterman doesn’t have political experience, but from the time John Fetterman suffered the stroke, I believe she acted as his campaign manager and chief adviser. I know there was at least one time that they were walking together after an event and reporters were shouting questions. Since John Fetterman needs talk to text as an adaptation, he would not be able to answer when multiple questions are being shouted simultaneously. And it was her who said “we aren’t taking questions.” I guess she wouldn’t be the best pick at this time, but if she wanted to get into politics and she paid her dues by starting small, I think she could be successful.

How should I know? I'm not a tax expert. But if you're exploiting tax loopholes to avoid paying taxes then you're doing it wrong.

Yes and those are the issues (loopholes) I’m talking about. If one makes millions of dollars, they can “lower” their income on paper for massive amounts of money that are then, untaxed.

I’ve had friends die from fent laces coke and Xanax over the past couple of years. They are cutting it into fucking everything to make their drugs seem “stronger”. It works if it doesn’t kill you.
