But not in NYS? Or can you use FanDuel if you live here? I might run for Governor just to open up gambling and pot 100%. Also on my platform: bring back plastic bags, eliminate pennies, have Halloween always on a Saturday and make Super Bowl Monday a national holiday.
Gambling, drugs, prostitution, all should be legalized. Best way to try to knock out illicit drug dealing and sex trafficking. ( I would also make child pornography/prostitution a capital offense or at least life imprisonment)
Shine the light, get treatment, help, education, out front, without stigmatizing. Far less expensive than courts, trials and jail/prison. Collect tax revenues.
Run on that, and you have my vote.
I know that our current Gov thinks he runs everything, but pennies and holidays are federal.
Holloween is connected to All Hollow’s eve, so it cannot be arbitrarily moved , but Trick or Treat can be anytime.
Plastic bags? Meh. Maybe have a deposit and return, like bottles. I like paper. I don’t shop enough and am not organized enough to always have my own shopping bags, but I don’t see any problem with going that route.
I don’t do as well as I could, but my next car will be electric or at least hybrid, , all things being equal.
I would add...
I would also make child pornography/prostitution a capital offense or at least life imprisonment.
if someone makes false claims of criminal conduct or lies about it, their criminal punishment is the same as the person they accused was facing, and it cannot be plead down.
Violent rape/drug rape. Life in prison.
Papers should not print the name of accused sex offenders. Even if proven innocent, they are branded. Withhold both names until there is a conviction.
Term limits and no lifetime benefits for any elected or appointed politician.
