This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This is a trick right?. Many of these states that they say have no grocery sales tax actually have a local tax on groceries. North Carolina for example has no statewide tax but has a uniform 2% local grocery tax.

Grocery is also loose. I'm in GA, anything processed has normal taxes. Produce and other ingredients has "lower" taxes because the statewide default doesn't apply. But it's still like 3% or in my area.
