All of them, fundamentally. Cities produce dramatically more taxes, but an outsized portion of their state taxes go towards suburban infrastructure. Suburbs would be exponentially more expensive to develop and live in if not for the insane tax revenues from cities to pave the way. This is how state taxes work. Urban areas are and always have been the economic engine of any state.

>Now if they called cultivating recreational/non-prescription medical marijuana simply gardening, I feel that needs a lot less context.

Wow, the lengths you've gone to split a hair the size of a proton. I feel as if you aren't very familiar with the state of medical cannabis. A doctor doesn't tell you exactly to the gram how much you need to take, and the product is identical to that sold in recreational dispensaries. So your argument, even if it had ANY validity to it all, would be symbolic and mean nothing. And none of it all has to do with cannabis cultivation being gardening.

I think many people have things in their gardens that are more difficult to produce than cannabis. It's called weed for a reason. You plant a seed, let it grow, cut it down and dry it. It's not cocaine or heroin requiring multiple stages of processing and manufacture. Gardening is pretty accurate, I'd say. It really is that simple.

>they keep ranking it as “worst large airport”

And said rankings are always opinion polling. EWR has one of the most efficient TSA lines in the country. Nobody clears more passengers faster than EWR. The one valid piece of criticism is simply that there are too many flights for too few runways, which means delays are a little more common at EWR than at comparably sized airports.

To be pedantic coffee isn't technically a diuretic or a laxative. Many people will experience either diuretic or laxative effects, but many will not. So, it's not classified as either because we're not really sure what the fuck is going on. Dandelion tea also is technically not classified as a diuretic, but initial studies show that it appears to affect everybody, unlike coffee.

I remember professors required lab manuals that they had written and spiral-bound exclusively available in the school library. $95 each, for the same list of a dozen exercises that were in it the last 10 years. Like, when the book costs $0.95 to make, and hasn't been updated in a decade, you can't upcharge 10000%, that's ridiculous.
