Legalize your freakin' pot crop already, dumbasses. I't's the most profitable thing you've got.

If you legalize pot I'm almost certain the increase in missed work days would offset any tax income from marijuana sales.

Yes there are...BBQ/Ribs are definitely better other than in those 2 cities...

That might be true, but that's one type of food out of hundreds... thousands. Nowhere in the south except for perhaps New Orleans is even in the conversation when it comes to great food as compared to NYC and San Francisco.

new orleans does do good cooking but it isnt world cooking. Personally I prefer traditional french cuisine with a world fusion/american fusion. I find creole to not hide its fat as well and it is a bit strong on the spices. Subtle is best for me.

If you live in CA and you shop at Newegg or other merchants like Monoprice, you get your stuff the next day. It's just a little bit of tax.

We bought a stereo install kit on Amazon with Prime and it got there in one day.

Big ticket items like TVs on the other hand...

Hah, you would think. I live less than 2 miles from Newegg's place in Industry, CA. Due to their shipping methods, it takes 3-4 days to get something, after it has been shipped. They have that will call now too though, but I tried to use it on my last order and the item was only in NJ. So that took 5 days to get here.

Newegg is a joke, hope they leave CA so I can get some tax free shit for however short a time it will be.

In comparison, my Tiger Direct orders shipping from IL get here in 3-5 days, tax free.
