Question: How do you get Massachusetts residents to be OK with paying EVEN MORE taxes??
Answer: Put in a dispensary.

Cannabis Excise Tax…on every purchase. Buy 50 pay 60…
Breakdown. Fall River dispensary…3.50 g, $50…
with – Local Tax – $1.50
MA. Sales Tax – $3.13
Cannabis Excise Tax – $5.38

$10.01 they gave me back the penny!

So, 60 bucks. Just to have the ‘ luxury ‘ , of going for a pretty short drive, get…go home. Hmmm…
the pay-off, for the state…is that for every transaction, of $50, they get an extra $10 …
As a lifelong resident of Mass., i have never in all my years had the chance to see what is meant by, Taxachusetts. It was only a running gag…like more a tradition to say it.
Until today.
Also, i didn’t wear a mask, because…i don’t. Won’t. The owner told me i had to wear one. I made my usual argument: the mandate actually states that IF you can’t social distance, you should probably wear a mask. Or a face-covering, a cloth or bandana, or a T-shirt…
he said nope. It’s a mask or nothing. I said my face IS covered…every single person here, is wearing a mask…who is scared? No one…he said i’ll just call the cops. I said, Ok.
I stood there, still covering my face with the neck of my shirt, up over my nose, but still holding it away a bit because i can’t fucking breathe with anything covering my nose and mouth. Separate, eh…i can kinda deal with that, but not both. I kept up the game, because if not i would have to concede for not even covering my face. But that is the only reason. He can go fuck himself.
The useless ‘ security guard ‘ , just kept standing at attention waiting to be told when to heel…i said, you’re useless, you know that…why are you even here? why am i talking to you waiting for him or the cops. Go get the owner so i can talk to him ok?
His eyes got all dim for a sec, he sorta shivered, and went…” beep, splutter…thingamabobbingama…bzzzt! spark…..” …so, i answered with, ” Bzzt, Bzzbzz jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj
( poooooop! ) …” …
i know he got the joke, because his skin cracked a little and i saw his non-military smile peek through…

but, back to the drama.

So, i was still waiting for the cops to come and tell me i was in the wrong. Said to the owner when he finally came over again, you know if you would just go to Google and see what the ACTUAL mandate says, you would see that i am correct. You are trying to go above the law, it doesn’t work like that. He said, i don’t go by that, i go by what the CCC says…i smiled like a lion in for the kill…leaned in a few…
…said, ‘ what now? The what what what??? ‘ :)!!!
He said, slowly so i could prrroossssehhhssssiiiiit…..moving toward me a bit…Thuh, Seee…Seee…Seeeee….
I said, a little loud…oh you mean the CDC??? His preening smile slowly faded into a crumbled version of it’s former self…i stood maaaybe 2 inches taller i think…but moving on…i mumbled…Sssenter for Diizeeezzz Cunnnt ro…ah it doesn’t matter…

( yes, i do understand that there is a CCC which has to do with marijuana regulations etc., he was definitely refering to the CDC )

This whole time, i have never ever worn a mask, for this Covid shit. Not scared of SARS, won’t jump just because the media told me to…

I don’t need any lectures on how important it is to protect the elderly, i am well aware, that the elderly were in fact targeted in this false flag. It was the elderly who were ‘ taking up space ‘ and the government needed the room apparently…they control what each state does. The re-opening stages, or phases…

{ Willie Nelson reference, to his album – Phases and Stages…} …

are set to go through the numbers and finally arrive at the final stage of the re-opening which is called, ” the New Normal ” …and that is federal. So, that feels a little Fascist to me.

FUCK WEARING MASKS, they don’t help. Look into it, they are making people more sick.
BUT…today, i wore one. There was a kid leaving, he came over to me, and handed me his mask. A black cloth one with what i assume is his company’s name on the front.

Hmmm…dilemma! Do i stick this out just to get my way, and prove to that dickhead that i can stand there in line like one of B.F. Skinner’s mice?…
fuck yeah! So i put it right on. I wish ya coulda been there ta see it Paaa!…ME! a self-confessed, JOIM a phobe!
it didn’t fit, at all. The kid was thin, wirey built but smaller than me.

But i made it work. I walked through, went right up to the retarded ‘ Marvin ‘…

{ HHGTTG reference … } …as i got closer, he let a kid wearing a bandana through…i said, uh, no mask huh? It’s ok for him? He said, i didn’t see a bandana…

i smiled and said, you’re a cunt. Then went into the line and waited. The owner came out and looked at me, and the robot told him, does not compute…so he nodded his head up like, ehhhh you little punk…
{ side note – i just now realized, i was wearing my black jacket full of punk patches…hmmm. }
…i went back to waiting, and talked to the kid by the front of the line. Then there was this girl who kept trying to look into my eyes, so i gave her plenty of time with that and she blushed. Another girl was talking about mushrooms and tripping…
…finally, i was toward the front of the line, a girl came over to help, couple minutes passed, said later to mushroom girl, looked back at little Rosey and smiled…walked through…looked back at ” beeep splutter ” ….and smiled as i nodded my head up quick, like, remember that joke! Because you are faaaar too serious my friend…
i think he got what i meant.

But, what the fuck with the taxes, huh!!!???
