2. Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj : The Legal Marijuana Industry Is Rigged

As rich, white business owners monopolize newly-available marijuana licenses, states continue to arrest people of color for cannabis crimes, even after it’s legal. This leads Hasan to ask: if cannabis can’t be legalized fairly, should it be legalized at all?

Elections coming up.

Does Nigeria's 'generation democracy' want to vote? https://t.co/R8MsWCodiO pic.twitter.com/jtZivqmwVO

Can you blame them?

Nigeria's 180 million population is divided among numerous ethno-linguistic groups.
Both main candidates @MBuhari and @atiku are Fulanis, with running mates from the south. President Buhari's deputy is Yoruba pastor @ProfOsinbajo; Mr Abubakar has chosen Igbo politician @PeterObi. pic.twitter.com/gtAIr4acQ1

Click to study the candidates and electoral landscape in "Will Nigerians choose the devil, the deep blue sea, or the open road, for President" in Pulse.NG.   Photographed are the major THIRD WAY candidates for the presidency.

Remember: It's not only presidential elections coming up.
Don't forget to use your voice and vote your choice in your state and local government area:

If you're voting in Eti Osa Local Government area of Lagos State, under House of Representatives, kindly press your hand on umblerra broom, lion, that is, vote for Ferdinand Adimefe, ANN candidate.
Eti Osa covers Ajah, Lekki, Ikoyi, V.I. and so on.
Also on the ballot running for the same position is Bankole Wellington (entertainment-entrepreneur, singer-songwriter Banky W) with MDP.  Modern Democratic Party is one of our youth parties, as per #NotTooYoungToRun is becoming a reality, so please support MDP also.
There are candidates from the two major parties also, and at least one female candidate - Tessy Owolabi of SDP, Social Democratic Party.  We need more women reps, so when you vote, please support women in all the open positions. 

Click for details of how candidates for Eti-Osa constituency of Lagos State performed at the House of Reps debate

Please don't just vote mindlessly, this is an opportunity to elect OUR OWN PERSON to the House of Reps.

WATCH: Eti-Osa House of Representatives debate

All the candidates are OK, but if you vote for Ferdy/ANN/Lion, I will give you tom-tom 😄😁😜.  Also, I feel you will be very proud of your vote if that's who you choose.

Do you intend to vote?  
Plan ahead.

Experienced and unemployed?

Youth unemployment has been with us for a while, but consider that even for "grown-up-adults" (who in many cases have tasted of the fruit of nicely-paid employment) the struggle is getting quite real  😎  No, really it's not funny.  😅

Ageism is a thing.  Trust California to take it to the extreme.  
“We Want People Who Have Their Best Work Ahead of Them, Not Behind Them.”  
Well, ok, that's just more business for this cosmetic surgeon: A few months ago, a 26-year-old came in seeking hair transplants to ward off his looming baldness. I told him I wouldn’t let him. His hair pattern isn’t even established...  Ok, that was funny.

Here are gripping battle-stories, mostly told by older workers and entrepreneurs.  They speak of the need to constantly upgrade skills, they speak of overwork, of workplace culture and sometimes faking the young-people behaviours to fit in, of the possibilities of exiting the race... I suppose many of them can become successful entrepreneurs? 

On the policy-level too, we should be thinking about how to apply all the abilities of all the people, and in particular, how to apply the accumulated wisdom of older workers, that is, how to 'turn grey into gold'.

Kachikwu a 5%er actually expects Baru a 97%er to get his approval before awarding contracts or making appointments in NNPC? 😂🤣
