Rob, of course they will Not. They will just spend more. Many states are already in dire straits (see Illinois), and very fiscally responsible states like California (sarcasm) have vowed to provide global health care to all, including “non citizens”. Most Politicians are morons and they would rather pass laws and spend money than pay down debt and unfunded obligations. It’s like giving a 10 year old a $1000 - you’ll get a bunch of candy and Fortnite skins!

Ryan, you got me. Until I looked it up, I assumed Fortnite skins referred to a condom that lasted two weeks.

That’s classic Frank! I have 3 boys (15, 13, and 10) and Fortnite is bigger to these kids than cards are to us cardboard nuts. I have grow to hate Fortnite, especially when my kids fight me over spending $$ on Fortnite skins. If the states were smart, they would tax Fortnite - I don’t think internet purchases of games that are streamed, or the intangibles purchased on those games (like skins, virtual weapon, extra lives, etc) are taxable yet.
