According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

A new study by the National Bureau of Economic Research found that marijuana legalization may actually increase job opportunities. This counters marijuana prohibitionist claims that it harms the workforce. Researchers explored the impact of recreational marijuana legalization (RML) on employment and wages, comparing states with and without legalization. If prohibitionist claims were accurate, the study would have shown significant negative impacts on the economy and workforce. However, the study found no such evidence. Instead, RML is linked to small employment increases in the agricultural sector, especially in states like California, Colorado, and Oregon. The study also noted modest employment gains for Hispanics and people over 30. These findings align with previous research, including a 2021 study that associated legalization with higher workforce productivity and fewer workplace injuries.
