Yeah dog attacks happening left and right 🙄

Wow. That's not crazy. Forced to carry bear spray 🤣.

👌🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You won't like internet tough guy when he's angry!

Media pressure is incredibly helpful to pressure their position before they go to court.

Shitty article. If you actually read that 3m number isn't based on anything but a shitty pole from wealth managers with zero context for the person.

The math isn't hard and of you don't believe you can live off of 100k a year + ss then you might have a life style issue and are spending too much.

$5800/yr is the median. Sorry, you're an edge case.

3M is enough for 145k a year until you are like 95. You'll be just fine with less even accounting for inflation.

Not that I agree that a school needs this, but a well connected pr person will cost far more than 180k/yr. Yes you can hire someone with good ideas for cheaper but the ability to get your message out in the main media channels consistently requires networking, clout, and will cost you A LOT more than 180k.

Again, a school doesn't need that shit.

Christ you folks are argumentive. SE, Ops, and technical PMs are all paid easily double if not triple the cost than a warm body standing at a desk. Per my other comment, a site like this can easily be a few million a year to build and maintain.

But the complexity doesn't scale with users. Sure you might have more AWS or Azure costs, but you are still left with the complexity of a CMS with multiple integrations. You still going to need an SLA/support comparible with any federal run CMS. It might be even harder depending on budgets around supporting services.

A 6 million dollar a year CMS with integrations is pretty common at the federal level. I don't think the economics would change that much at the state level for a critical site 🤷‍♂️.

You need to maintain the site and the interoperability, paying for the SLA, etc. The payment processing integration must be maintained. Not the service itself.

They have to pay teams to maintain the payment system. It does need a minimal amount of integration and maintenance to keep it up to date.

Yes. Nobody had 100s of GB of music legally 🤣

I'm sure he's super sorry for that Superbowl he won for y'all.

Driving an old Nissan 🤔

Gotcha. With prices that still seems insane though. Why do they do that?

I'm not saying it's not dumb. I'm saying it's already in use and there is little additional revenue to be had. Everyone is being all sorts of tribal any this question lol.

Yeah but the vast majority of revenue is coming from the stoner's, not the small % of users with serious illness. It's a recreational program with extra steps for the majority of users.

> I also have friends who get stuff over in NJ

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard unless they are real close to the border. Prices over there suck ass. Plus the gas to get there. No thanks.

I never said it wasn't a dumb program. I just think it's already heavily used and most recreational users already are on it. Folks have lost their shit over a question about market penetration 🤣. Y'all need a joint.

Never said it wasn't. I just question how many people are kept off the program and how much additional revenue it would bring in. Not that we can prove it either way but I'd be happy to make a bet that 85% of stoners have their mmj card and are using the program. I just can't see a huge influx in tax revenue. I'm all for recreational. Folks are getting their pitchforks out over their weed 🤣.

Oh yes, I'm sure there are hundreds of thousands of stoners in PA not using the mmj program. And there is so much revenue left on the table from them?

Folks are really salty that I question the amount of additional tax revenue?

Bravo 👏👏👏

👌👍
