I did gallon milk jug gravity bongs of Ozark mountain retardo soaked in honey oil back when my tolerance was joints of mexican swag.
The second one was definitely an O.D...I'm glad nobody had phone cameras (or cell phones) when I was a kid.
These days, every year or three, I cook all my trim down in olive oil. People make stuff, brownies etc. I always warn them, but they never titrate their doses. O.D.s are more common than they should be. Nausea, claustrophobia, sweats, dizziness, paranoia, can last hours. Solution is 'eat your buzz': Get one saltine cracker down. Then a second. Repeat. Starchy things are best.
I don't like edibles. Boring long sleepy buzz.
Great for chemo patients and anybody who wants to be out of their head for 10 hours, sometimes even wake up hungry.
They need to sneak up on their dose. Buying random edibles is crazy. Poor quality control and consistency. Even if you find the same product two times.
I was buried in the implementation details at the time. Not just for the CA pool but for a bunch of them (NEpool, England and wales, Australia plus more I'm no doubt forgetting, it has been a while...Chile, Malaysia, Thailand, Ireland, Whatever they called the one in Amsterdam.).
Alberta was among the first to run in N. America. That was the prototype for CA and many others. CA was the first pool regular folks heard about, that is all.
The high prices were as designed to bring new market participants in. Basically the only thing CA did wrong was not cap the market clearing price at a number high enough to draw in capital (well above demand side management curtailment charges for industries that doesn't like interruptions, the most expensive 'power' typically in play).
But the capacity shortage was all on ratebase. The decisions not to build new plants were made when you had to get the utility board and commission to approve of all large expenses. Which isn't to say: PG&E weren't dirty as fuck under ratebase, they did earn all trading restrictions (e.g. no long term deals) with their previous trickery. If the system was working well, the pool would never have happened.
Before open market pools there were also private dispatch pools, for which I also slung bits around. GA pool is one example. Those dispatched everybody's resources against the common load and split the savings using complicated formulas. Intellectual forerunners to market based pools.
Our country runs on almost exactly the same grid rules as the one you're living/working in.
If you want power from my plant, you pay my bid or I don't run. It is that simple.
If a power plant falls over, they dispatch my plant and I run, but the market clearing price for that hour is my bid (actually the highest bid dispatched), not some fixed price. All that gets resolved after the fact.
The gap between trading and operations is large. Operations will do whatever it has to do to keep the lights on, but that doesn't mean plants don't get paid and spot prices don't deviate from hour ahead projected prices. Everybody is required to do what they can to maintain system stability, but nobody is required to spin at a loss. Sometimes they have to for operational reasons, but that's another discussion, (In those hours they bid $0 and are just 'price takers').
Except the demographics of the bums isn't 50 and 30 years of work behind them. It is 25-30 and never worked.
It's a good thing nobody did what you suggested when 90% of people were put out of agricultural work. We'd be good and fucked now.
SS disability will, more or less, just give benefits to older people. The younger ones need to get a shyster as nobody want's someone sucking the tit for 50+ years.
Your position is that 1 million people each year are disabled vs the year before. That's obvious nonsense. You realize this isn't a population getting older? Old people die, young people are born...
They should get fucking jobs. There are many crap jobs to be had. They should get two each, then live their lives out as a warning to young people: 'Don't make the decisions I made...'
With so many, you should be able to name just one monopoly without a government charter. You really should check the 'facts' that you think everyone knows, they are usually bullshit.
No rich folks keep their money in cash. None, noda, zero...it's almost all invested. The closest you can come to a 'pool full of money' is real estate.
SS disability has one million more scammers every year since welfare reform. That's 20 million added since 1996. Some will have drunk/drugged themselves to death, but that's still a lot of scamming.
Since welfare reform social security disability has been steadily growing by one million people/year.
It is the new welfare. Scammers apply, get rejected, then hire a shyster (for a % of the back payments). Shyster works the system for a couple of years (they could do it faster, but need to let the back payment number get large so they make money) and able bodied person is declared disabled and is now on the dole for LIFE.
There is simply no way there are a million more people disabled year over year.

Fancy wine? From upstate NY? LOL.
Yes I've tasted NY wine. Blech. Gallo is better. Missouri wine is better.

2001 was released in 1968. Years after the first man made orbit, after the first space walks.
The had pictures of earth from orbit.
The docking sequence was dazzling eye candy in 1968. You have to admit it could use an edit for brevity now.
No. 2001 was one of the first 'eye candy' movies. It suffered from it. Can you stay awake through the space docking sequence?
'Forbidden Planet' was an old movie with about the right amount of special effects (and a beautiful pair of tits!)
It dependence on effects that's the problem.
2001 had amazing model based eye candy for it's day. Puts you to sleep now.

Bullshit. The claim was made, but it's been 20 years. It's now clear they never had a monopoly.
Try again. Do you even know the definition of monopoly?
Until fairly recently Australia's power grid was run entirely by state government sponsored electric trusts. This was how ratebase worked.
Australia is 20 years into it's power pool.

What you say is simply no longer true.
With so many, you should be able to name just one monopoly without a government charter. You really should check the 'facts' that you think everyone knows, they are usually bullshit.

People do get caught, they are _never_ punished.
It's always 'poor illegal immigrant didn't understand...' or some such lie.
Prove identity and residence? By presenting any old bill with an address?
Study?
True for at least half.
You need to check your dates. Before the 80s they just spent the SS money, creating the trust was supposed to embarrass them into not pissing it away.
SS was a financial time bomb when it was passed.

Value is created on the market. Any thought that begins with the labor theory of value is based on a fallacy. End of discussion.
Command economy, not all command economies are socialist but _all_ non-imaginary socialist economies are command economies.
They all suck balls.
How many non-government sponsored monopolies do you see around you?
Money hoarding? You believe in the Scrooge McDuck model of rich folks?
Rich folks already have their money invested, or they wouldn't stay rich long.
As long as government has enough power to be worth buying, it will be bought and sold. The solution is to castrate the government.

You don't know what property management is, they deal with tenants for landlords. They rarely own property.
Never go back to the place you got this argument from. You are stupider than you were before someone fed this to you.
Do you also tax insurance by the face value? Idiot.
