This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And then you realize far too late that stuff like this is strictly regulated and you forgot to comply with all the standards for product safety and hygiene and the state is going to rip your ass so far open that a truck can make a u-turn it it.
Just do it in a red state and buy favor with the governor.
That's expensive. My governor is an alfalfa farmer in a desert state where alfalfa is ~1% of GDP and >50% of water use, or something like that. He's already a grifter, so getting my own grift approved is going to be expensive.
Just gotta cut him in on a share of the profits. He’ll be your best friend in that case!
Peter Thiel's "Zero to One" teaches that the best business is an iron-fisted monopoly.
Far from cutting you in, the governor is more likely to break your kneecaps and burn down your nascent storefront.
Peter Thiel may have been successful in business but he’s no economist. For a government official like the governor, there’s way more wealth to be gained by encouraging competition than suppressing it.
But governors aren't in it for simple numerical wealth. They're in it for power.
The governor of California is way more powerful than the governor of Wyoming.
Congressman Dick Cheney had significantly more clout than anyone in the California delegation.
There's a reason Harris doesn't the last weeks of her campaign with Liz Cheney rather than Christine Pelosi.
not anymore, how long until all that is doged out and we’re back to the jungle
Weeks. Months at most.
took days for the faa to get fucked
