RE:Last post on safe in the NDAA today. Chucky and the rest of the 'collapse America first' crowd must need more time to figure out how to funnel the majority of the income generated from the industry into their slush fund...illegal aliens are going to chew through the green at $450large a head just for the illegal entry, they are going to need much more taxation and it is just getting tougher to find...they will just have to increase the tax levied on the "unrealized equity" of the folk's homes and investments?
The adults need to grab the reins down there before Biden/ team can achieve 3rd world status....the good news is that itis looking like that is exactly what is starting to take hold as long as the spending bills pending get pared down to billions instead of trillions and for actual infrastructure and getting folks back to work, starting with getting the ships unloaded and the supply chain back to normal...shelves well stocked for the festive season and plenty of holly jolly for all is very much needed. JMHO...Opt

By including the SAFE Banking Act in the final NDAA, we can safeguard our financial system, reduce the public safety risk in our communities, and help support Veteran and minority-owned businesses now,” he said, referring to the fact that his legislation most recently cleared the House as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
“Enacting SAFE Banking is just the tip of the iceberg and it will help break the logjam and pave the way for broader, comprehensive cannabis reform and create a safer and more equitable industry,” Perlmutter said.
There are plenty of examples of congressional lawmakers who share that perspective, but others—particularly on the Senate side—have insisted on passing legalization first in order to ensure that social equity is prioritized.
For example, Schumer said last month that he and colleagues working to advance a federal marijuana legalization bill have an “agreement” that the body will not take up cannabis banking legislation until more comprehensive reform advances.
However, he said that he’s open to exploring an alternative way of advancing banking reform if lawmakers are able to incorporate social equity provisions of legalization—such as expungements for prior cannabis convictions—into the NDAA legislation that the chamber will be taking up soon.
