Not true, I found an online doctor who offered California medical marijuana recommendations at $39/pop 'or your money back' - and I got one while passing through San Francisco for a conference. At the time I was a…
I can easily get them but I can't as easily get permission to put up solar panels on my landlord's roof.

The Court's authority is derived from deadly force, they better be prepared to grapple with its use.
The dilemma is that progressives insist that you can increase diversity (e.g more queers/colored people/self-proclaimed victims) without making compromises on competency. To blame the CEO's incompetency could give…
It's not a free enough country that PGE customers can get their electricity and gas from other vendors.
Here's three data points: Germany pays $45B/yr for defense [0] The United States pays for 22% of NATO [1] The United States' defense spending accounts for >70% of all expenditures by NATO countries [2] Personally, I'd…

But trucks aren't that much 'bigger' on the inside than sedans. Go sit in a Toyota Avalon and a Tahoe and tell me where you have more room. The Avalon probably has 80% as much noise on the freeway and if you set the…

Fair point. Let me try to steel man the parent comment and maybe you can respond: These people are fleeing the very predictable consequences of progressive governance, they should make an attempt to understand what made…
