Tomorrow the House is considering a bill that aims to eliminate the Wild West that is North Carolina’s THC market. For some reason, the bill also legalizes kratom, an opioid-like substance sometimes called gas station heroin, and fails to include any meaningful age restrictions. The legislature should be focused on creating a safe and well-regulated adult THC market that protects kids.

I've said it for years: nobody understands how the economy works, true, and at the moment there's a lot of money going around. But the job that supplies a good middle-class living doesn't grow on trees. If everyone works but nobody gets ahead, there's permanent dissatisfaction.

I've spent the last 48 hours on the ground in North Carolina with hurricane survivors, rescue workers, volunteers. They've talked about God's will, the power of water, climate change etc. But not *one* person has had anything critical to say about FEMA. Not one.
My girlfriend just called me to say that the chickens are fine but she picked up a possum by the tail and chunked it into the woods… y’all I think I got a keeper.
So I’m sitting at home and get a notification that @airgarageinc charges me for parking at The Radical Hotel #Asheville… weird because my car is parked on the public street where I always park it, not their lot. @jonathonbarkl

In the past year, the two worst customer service experiences I have had were at a South Carolina truck stop @McDonalds and @turbotax.
At least I’ll never have to go back to that truck stop.
Realizing that many text spammers are coming from Mainland China, I’ve begun replying with facts about Taiwanese independence. Let’s see how this goes.
Watching the Asheville Planning and Zoning meeting, and I am absolutely aghast at the lack of understanding of “how public meetings work” by one of the commissioners…🤦🏻♂️

Making a street appear and feel narrower causes drivers to navigate more cautiously, reducing speed and paying closer attention to potential conflicts. Want to make your streets safer? Try optical narrowing.

Tourism is down about 10 percent this year compared to the last couple of years - which were all time record highs of visitation and spending. This recent softening hardly qualifies as “pain” for local hoteliers. – at Asheville, NC
