My wife was making 30k rupees a month in Pakistan as a pharmacist which was about $300 a month back in 2013 while I was making $8k a month for the same job here in the US. (Except she doesn’t have student loans and I have 400k student loans.)

NYPD is $11 billion. State police is much less.

LIRR free? What the fuck, we don’t want homeless bums to invade that.

Divert it from the police.

Not as fast.

I mean if you assume that all Democrats will vote yes on this, it should pass.

20% is the max.

So are the dispensaries going to be like how they are in Colorado/California (where the flower and product is on the floor and you can smell it and inspect it before purchase)?

Or is it going to be like the bullshit they have in Massachussets and New Jersey where everything is locked up in the back and you just have to order up front and they package it up in the back and bring it out?

Hold up, he's gay? Did he disclose that before running?

Wear masks people. Facial recognition doesn't work if they can't see your face.

And then people would get angry if the lab didn’t return the results within 24 hrs.

Like holy shit, calm down with traveling.

Slightly north of NYC. Its the 1199 union.

I wanna say its about $500 a month, which is not much nowadays but almost no one else offers it.

Yeah I get differential (10%). Health insurance, child care stipend, pension for just $125 a month union dues.

12 hour shifts x 7 days straight though. But then I’m also off for 7 days straight.

Nah, hospitals are starting to offer more than retail, I’m making $160k as a hospital pharmacist. (Overnight though.)

Massive student loan burden.

Not everyone can get a job at a hospital and there are not enough jobs in the hospital. and they don’t give out business loans for opening a independent pharmacy to new grads with student loan debt and no established customer base.

Some are able to just hunker down, keep their head down and keep up with insane pressure and get through the day and then drink themselves to sleep. Soon after burning out a couple of years later.

Some know how to properly suck off corporate and then aim to climb into the district manager, regional manager role.

Walmart and Costco I’ve heard are decent.

I remember there was a plan on Reddit to do a national call out sick day either end of 2020 or 2021. I asked the local CVS guys about it and they were completely oblivious about it.

No walkout ever happened.

We need a national labor union for pharmacists. Not useless organizations like the APhA which are heavily influenced by the chains themselves.

Even the fucking state boards of pharmacy have members who are employed by the chains.

What Apple needs to do is develop their iphone cameras to be able to take pics like this.

Oh I don’t want to make them into parks. I just want the cemeteries to look more like forests.

Replace headstones with trees that have a name player.

For a new burial, plant the roots of the tree near the body. The body feeds the tree.

No because alcohol is actually dangerous.

I see people in the hospital all the time for alcohol poisoning, withdrawal, liver disease.

Never seen weed poisoning.

You can have quality control without a ridiculous licensing division.

If it was simple registration, where you sign up, an inspector comes by before you open and you have to send samples in, etc fine. The problem is the ridiculous amounts of money they want. It shouldn't cost more than $50 to get a license to grow, sell, deliver, etc.

No, the whole of legalizing was so people can grow, sell, possess, use the stuff without going to prison. I don’t care if the state makes money.

Requiring licenses is the problem. No need to create more bureaucracy.

If people want to grow at home or in a building or farm and then sell it wholesale or sell it on street corners without licenses, they should be allowed to.

This state is stupid thats why. There shouldn’t be a need for an entire bureaucracy to exist for this industry.

Once it was legalized they should have just stepped out and let whoever storm in and start building dispensaries and/or allow sales out of other existing businesses without requiring an actual license to sell.

Hochul got very lucky.

Her new gun laws are about to be thrown out by the courts. She would be wise to simply abide by the NYSRPA V Bruen ruling and make New York a true "shall issue" state without the ridiculous sensitive locations and restricted locations list.
