I was pulled over for having out of state plates in middle america because they thought I had drugs just because I had California plates. They did a drug sniffing dog (before this was ruled unconstitutional). Cop was absolutely convinced I had drugs and so disappointed I didn’t.

This is why we have UL listings in USA and Canada. So you don’t have to rely on “common sense” which is notoriously unreliable.

The problem with consignment is that the consignor wants the maximum price but the consignee wants a quick sale because 10% of a few bucks more means very little and they have to hold the inventory.

No it's not. It's about teaching letter forms to kids.

Your not speaking on behalf of the majority if Americans.

There's a reason why he's trying to reserve 30% of the IPO for retail investors.
