sadly New Jersey blocks all innovation in this space at a cost of $10s billions to food services manufacturing retail housing business downstream If NJ opened up it would explode as 10,000s of restaurants/providers would serve,add taxes shift from NYC & Philly growth/investment

North Carolina could still use some fixing... And we still need some sports gambling, dammit.
