I mean, it's like New Jersey.

I swore I would never operate another business in New Jersey again because it was like at some point I'm like, just... All right.

So I literally was building a business and...

The thing, the requirements they wanted me to have for what the function of the business was, was like, it didn't even, you couldn't even make sense of it.

I'm not kidding you guys.

I literally said to the nice lady in like the building department one day, I was like finally in tears.

I was at my breaking point.

I was like, listen, you guys forgive me.

If you don't know me, this is normal.

um i was like listen i'm gonna turn around and i'm gonna just start shooting hundred dollar bills out of my ass and when you have the amount you need for this entire thing to be okay like just let me know because that's all this is about

And she started laughing.

I'm like, obviously you just want money.

Like everything was like, we need 500 for this.

We need $45 for that.

We need 200 for this.

Now you have to, I'm like, just tell me how much money you want because you're like killing me with this like slow drip of money.

We have rules and we have that.

And I was like, I'm never doing business in the state again.

And then the taxes and like if you make this much money.

So it's it's all a grift and it it it discourages good people from doing good things that are going to help other people.
