But then something happened: The rele...

Well what do you expect from the conservatives and billionaire money funded Baker Institute. They are so . out of touch with ordinary Americans and Mexicans. Weathierand user class Mexicans are basically aghast at having to pay more taxes.

There is no viable alternatives t.C.E. yet It's all BS
Thank you very very relevant research and discussion. People walk their dogs more and the community go to is the pooper plastic distribution points. HOA fees are really becoming a serious service in most cases. ...so that is a topic

Nah...just you.

It's a super food, a preventive of sickness when consumed in raw form. Gen 129. Google it. We could live longer without as much sickness. Who will this hurt ? Social security and big pharmaceutical. That's why it's illegal
Lol schedule 3 isnt even accurate. Descheduled is what it should be. Its been proven Safer than ibuprofien and other over the counter drugs.
Horrible : Listening to adult men who talk about numbers, percentages, etc. Environmentalism is something we all can contribute to, but *_this_* quackery is the definition of insanity.

He Dances the people into a false sense of security to consume more and more. I recognize we are in the grip of the cannibal giant. I plead that we listen very closely with clear and cohesive thinking to what Patricia and many other indigenous elders are saying. One other is Winona Laduke. Hemp has 50 thousand uses and can help us heal our addiction to the fossil fuel economy. Aho Mitakwasin, Miigwich.
Great content. 👍🏼
Very nicely presented. Governors in all of North America reflect the culture & business goals of their region. A federal agenda can guide, "rhetoric". Anyway after Meet the Press last Sunday, I see this conversation masterfully discussed. Crops vs Fent.
Reading Orhan Pamuk's historical fiction Nights of Plague. It strives to narrate their serious interests in ending such strife. No superstition.
Simplest and cleanest tax solution would be to charge the fuel tax at the purchase of the vehicle, around $700. Used Evs would be calculated at a sliding scale (simple math) depending on mileage. - Free market forbids outlawing the sale of hydrocarbon vehicles, but, it does allow the freezing of producing more.
