This is great! This'll lower prices for everyone else.

They're actually setting up the board with some big criminal penalties for selling it. It'll have a cross state freezing effect on the vendors as a whole and transportation through states. They're going full drug war on it. I didn't expect their need for cattle farmer votes to be so acute.

Fortunately you don't need to go through Florida to get to many.... Any... Other states.

Yeah, florida kinda the least relevant state for shipping when push comes to shove. Stuff is shipped into florida, but not much is shipped out of florida.

Jacksonville is actually a very busy port but mostly for roll on/roll off (cars). Still, I think that having states that will put you in jail for selling or manufacturing products might hamper your ability to do interstate business and maintain warehouses for your grocery stores.

They don't give a fuck about the cattle farmers votes. They care about that cattle farmers payment for their vote.
