exactly. Why is California in a drought after they’ve sucked the ground completely dry of natural resources for tens of years. California’s natural resources can’t support the number of people they’re trying to house.

For every $1.00 you spend at Walmart you pay $0.075 generally in sales tax. Mom and pops, small businesses historically hide some transactions as cash. As well Walmart hires a great mix of skilled/unskilled labor which helps boost the local economies. This is why local/state governments “sponsor” walmart, giving them great subsidies and have no issues with employees on welfare. Because they know many of those employees wouldn’t make it elsewhere.

I think you missed the point. In most places sales tax is around 8%. Walmart makes 3%. The govt makes money by you shopping at Walmart, instead of at mom and pops that are far harder to tax properly.

How much does the state take in in Sales Tax. Welfare is just them kicking back sales tax profits.

What about sales tax? Does the govt make more than Walmart does?

It generally is boring, but if you all talked about it you would know about the Manhattan project going on.

Doping played a role. In Jamaica anti doping regulations weren’t introduced until after Bolt had won. His coach was caught. His teammates caught. His results are now absurd anomalies on the leaderboards.

Fraud.

Says the guy that was the most likely the best at cheating for 9 seconds. His coach was caught. His teammates were popped. Everyone with ranking near him, DQ’d and yet his records stand.
