Weaponizing Christmas - this and trafficking immigrants via bus to DC on Xmas eve

Now’s the time to get strapped up 🫡

Not true. Was in Portland, Oregon recently and was able to buy from a weed store with a swipe of my debit card. Not impossible, just very difficult. Which is why that federal action needs to happen.

Visa, Mastercard, and the debit card networks are all interstate obviously which means no paying by card. Shops are already able to use a few state chartered banks and credit unions to deposit all that cash into.

and in an attempt to downplay the criminality of this, the sheriff's dept keeps referring to these attacks as 'burglaries'.

Making America great again.

When it comes to taking cards it’s not so much over-regulation as the fact that it’s still illegal federally, AFAIK. Allowing home growing could certainly happen if we changed law.

Check out the website Only in your state for lots of ideas

I was going to suggest this. With all the rainfall, the waterfall has got to be something to see right now.

This has been news for months. That Bellevue robbery and crime spree was an eye opener. A female I know has worked bikini barista stands and now marijuana. She’s dealt with the crime waves every holiday season.

Sleeper cells don't have coordinated goals. That's why they make effective terrorists.

And Christmas spirit is gone. I know everyone is giving you tough love. Hope you get through this OP, I’m sure affording the repairs is beyond your budget and during Christmas. I’m rooting for you to come out on top.

There are banks that are in-state only, but the FDIC insurance would drop them, so it’s not worth it. Congress needs to act. Would be a huge boost to the economy, too.

Holy crap! I think you’re right, thank you for the info :)

Wow that's fucking terrible to hear you need a watch alarm on idc how badass of a skipper you are when you're up that many hours you need a watch alarm. Falling asleep at the wheel smfh, You're responsible for everyone's lives on that boat. I can't imagine how tough that shit must've been no crane, sorting table, or kingcoiler, all hand coiling and tanner taxis. I tip my hat to all you guys who've done it whether it's back in the day or now crabbing will break you down like no other job in the entire world. Second to none. But I bet you got some damn good elbow room stories from back then😂.

Does not seem like you had real world experience with what happened and are leveraging all the Fox stereotypes and buzzwords that you saw on television. This seems more like the rantings of an unsuccessful boy in spite of their privilege.

When I took my first trip in Tanner '78 we had no sorting tale and no coiler. On Nordic Venture we had a coiler but never used it. On my first boat Emerald Island we had a trolly system for pot management, same on Nordic Venture.. Cranes were just coming into use. Nordic Venture got ran on the rocks during Adak King season and sank 1979. Fucking unbelievable. Flat calm, sunny morning and Skipper fell asleep at the wheel, no watch alarm on. Norwegians for you.

There was no driving 70 anywhere yesterday. I drove to Winthrop, there was not any traffic moving above 50. Lots of 30-35. Each pass took an extra hour. Conditions were nasty…I feared for my safety several times

Yeah rog opies also cancelled and I agree garbage crab personally I like tanners the most then king too and those dungees are pretty damn good too when you're eating them fresh on deck. Tanners is open down in kodiak too double quota from last year, got 8.25 a pound from trident last year for tanners this year kodiak guys are going on strike it sounds like because they're trying to lowball with 4 bucks a pound even though there's no king on the market. Also only got 2.75 a pound for dungees this year. Those were the days back then I bet, did yall have a kingcoiler and sorting table? Love the aluetian beauty she's a beautiful boat and is the nordic venture now the new venture out of kodiak?

A couple burned dumpsters and smashed windows = burned down cities, according to the specific place these guys get their news

Can the latter be done at a state level? Given most banks operate across state lines, it seems like that's a federal issue which should also have been dealt with, but generally speaking congress doesn't really do anything of value these days.

That would require action at the Federal level, there's nothing that Washington can do.
