Reagan hasn't been President for almost 40 years.

The country still suffers from the "voodoo economics" he introduced.

And he never told the state of Michigan to open up weed shops and not regulate the THC content, so young people can bake their minds out and all have paranoid psychosis.

from the net sifter: Michigan tax revenue from weed, vs gambling.

Michigan collects significantly more tax revenue from gambling than it does from marijuana sales. In 2025, Michigan's booming iGaming and online sports betting market generated over $590 million in tax revenue. Conversely, marijuana sales tax—while substantial—generate roughly $300 million annually, with early 2026 figures showing shortfalls on road-funding projections.

If being high makes people more prone to gamble, the state gets a twofer. Then there are the "JCs". Weed is still a highly fragmented business in the state, unlike gambling, which is pushed by global companies.

...because this is Shinyland, where job #1 is to take money off the Proles.
