Love your reading mat...Welcome to the blog A Texan! Love your reading material.<br /><br />For real!? That is certainly one of the crazier regulations I've heard. For a small vape shop that has to be crushing. I mean, I go into Home Depot and buy an 8 foot 1x4, and get an 18 cent California lumber fee and I'm pissed about that. That's on top of the 10% ish sales tax. Sure....<i>It's only 18 cents!</i> But IT'S ONLY ONE PIECE OF LUMBER! Imagine if you are building a deck or something. Then people wonder why housing is so expensive to build. But people let this law pass and you just have to wait for the camels back to break. I think we are finally at that stage. So I think Trump has a good chance of changing some of this stuff. But wow, all of this has been super painful. But I guess it has to burn like the surface of the sun before it filters down to everyone and they finally "get it".<br /><br />she said:https://www.blogger.com/profile/15003430767746896739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8049802.post-68210980567976522742016-12-29T05:31:47.404-08:002016-12-29T05:31:47.404-08:00I hope Trump can do something about the regulatory...I hope Trump can do something about the regulatory state. Mises.org had a good article last month how the bureaucrats can make up whatever they want and it becomes a 'law' regardless of the cost to the rest of us.<br /><br />This past summer the FDA mandated that vape shops need to pay $250k to approve their in house mixes. I don't vape or smoke, but I wonder how many thousands of people will be unemployed from this?A Texannoreply@blogger.com
