Going to be tough to pass, but good to see some politicians skipping this silly gradualism that establishment types love. It's great to have this topic being discussed in a real way. And it will continue.

Sounds like a good start and would be good to test at the state level first to decide if it should be federalized in the long term or leave it to the states.

And a big state with lots of people and an economy that dwarfs many countries is perfect.

Vermont's failed attempt wasn't enough?

If at first you don't succeed, give up and never try again.
That's the saying, right?

But this is the way it should work...test things at the state level and then determine if other states want to do the same or do it at a Federal level. Rather than have Washington force a piece of shit down everyone's throat that they, the lawmakers, don't have to participate in.
