And then you realize far too late that stuff like this is strictly regulated and you forgot to comply with all the standards for product safety and hygiene and the state is going to rip your ass so far open that a truck can make a u-turn it it.

But governors aren’t in it for simple numerical wealth. They’re in it for power.
The governor of California is way more powerful than the governor of Wyoming.
Congressman Dick Cheney had significantly more clout than anyone in the California delegation.
There’s a reason Harris doesn’t the last weeks of her campaign with Liz Cheney rather than Christine Pelosi.
