Pay me minimum wage and I would be happy to maintain a marijauana plantation.great idea, have a bunch of jobless potheads staffing the pot industry... they are going to smoke up all of the product before it makes it to market
I beg to differ....if you think Americans cannot grow pot you should look at who is growing the medical pot for states like California....there growing some of the strongest and best pot thats ever been grownI'm convinced the only reason it hasn't been already is because the best stuff isn't grow here or by our government. That is one area where those crazy Canucks have the edge over us.
in keeping with the intentions of the thread, if the government has to do something to bail out the econemy. The stimilus should go to another great publics works project. Lets face it, our infsturcture is crumbling. 800bln could employ a lot of people to rebuilt road and bridges. We could update our power grid and build more powerplant (nukes if we could be so luck), because with all the "green" shit going on we will be using more electric. Finnaly get new orleans cleaned up, employ people to tear shit down and start rebuilding. I mean the list could go on and on. If the govt needs to stimulate the econemy there are tons of things to be done at home, employ the unemployed with the 800bln and get it done.
I agree to an extent. But, there are a ton of schools that are literally falling apart, are full of asbestos, etc etc. I think 1 new school per county might spark morale in the chosen community. Again, this will be chosen at the state level, 1 per county. So, this might be a state legislature nightmare of picking who gets it... i dunno. There is a need for funding in education though. Most states are near bankruptcy right now. perhaps this should be, instead of building a new school, relive the 'school tax' on property owners.Even after Dayton has dumped hundreds of millions into education, they still return some of the lowest test scores in the state. The problem is with the kid's families, and no one, especially the Democrats, want to give the families any accountability.
because the wind will blow it all around. The desert is constantly changing elevations due to sandstroms, etc.launching nuclear waste into space isn't cost feasible and like you said, what if a rocket explodes? I don't see why we can't have a massive nuclear waste dump in the middle of the desert.
That's why you build a proper concrete reinforced structure to house it with structural failure detection and secondary containment failsafes. I work at a goldmine that uses shitloads of cyanide, it can be done.because the wind will blow it all around. The desert is constantly changing elevations due to sandstroms, etc.
and still, where do you go? nevada? i don't think nevada is going to be cool with having their state turn into a nuclear dump.
and what if it gets into the underground water supply? the whole country is fucked if that happens.
You do realize that there is a huge river running through that which passes through multiple states?Grand canyon. Toss it in, forget about it.
I'm sure you've all heard my "fence off arizona and throw all the prisoners in it" bit.. It would go along nicely.
it's only a stimulus, not a long term fix. The point of it is to stimulate the econemy. If you want a real fix I don't have an answer. How the fuck do we have an econemy based on spending???? Our whole system is shit. Help the econemy recover spend more money you don't have, that's why we're in this shit to begin with.And once the "stimulus" dries up and there are no more government cheese jobs?...
