I just didn't read an article of an open flipped luxury mag in the laundrette. They were laying the connection between love and cash. The article is known, I guess. Don't create some illusion, cash is it! The rest is somehow organized with social help and such. Meanwhile there is the problem of invading snoggers, they bite and you turn black. So for the show, they create camps to gather those snoggers and put them on planes to Africa, Asia and maybe America. I say that it is a show because they... [ More ]

Interesting.

Note that here the big part of the price is made of taxes. The government lowered that tax to make benzine diesel affordable for those rich enough to own a car and drive it. Knowing the high price of fuel I watched the cars passing. There was less traffic and surprisingly or not, the bigger cars were on the road, saying the people that could afford more expensive cars!

When the price is higher and they multiply for the taxes, the government must lower the taxes and I sa... [ More ]

What a gaslighter, don't need your left wing ( say this or say that rag)

Fact, Biden through EO shut down our pipelines, thus creating a shortage, knowing full well Russia would benefit.

Russia Russia Russia, now we know who is really working for Putin and his name is Biden!!!!!!!!!

He screwed so Pooty could raise war money, otherwise known as how do help Putin with Ukraine without being obvious.

* When politicians say that the United States was energy independent under former President Donald Trump, some people may get the false impression that the U.S. was 100% self-sufficient. The country still relied on foreign sources of energy, including oil.

To help meet domestic demand, the U.S. has imported oil and other forms of energy from abroad, including from Russia, for many years. And to some energy analysts, a scenario in which the U.S. re... [ More ]

Welp Weasel, instead of watching movies maybe you should learn about supply and demand, Mr. Potatoehead cut our supply, we not only had our own oil, but we were one of the largest exporters, but he put an end to that, thus giving Putin the market share, where do you think he got the money to fund his war

l recently watched Matrix Resurrection and Niobe's saying You'd be surprised how much noise the matrix pumps into your head is pretty prophetic in this day and time as well. Reading how we were energy independent is also noise. The oil we have in the ground here is Champagne compared to the coffee from abroad. We need that coffee to keep our vehicles running. Don't believe all that noise out there.

Dear Mr. Bleudog, Maybe you weren't aware, but Mr. Potatoehead signed and executive order shutting down our pipe lines.

Hint : We were energy independent under the Fabulous President Trump.

Your assessment of Knowledge is Power is correct, welp, here's a tiny tidbit of knowledge, even though we are not buying ( TOO MUCH OIL UNDER PUTIN, we are getting it from the people he's selling to.

OBAMA kept that pipeline shut down, that also helped our enemies and hurt American Families.

Sure, it is a commodity, market driven. No President can regulate gasoline prices.

US Government AG should investigate the obvious price gouging. Also stop giving the oil companies billions each year! Take a look @ gas prices when President Obama was in office, barrels of oil much cheaper yet gas went to over $4/gallon.

Knowledge is power.

round2(round2(5/3.78541178,5)/1.09,5) EUR / liter

Still seems to be very cheap to me. Google the online prices for Europe

regular unleaded fuel in Arkansas was on average $3.90 per gallon

I only know per liter.

american dry gallon = 4,40488377 liter

gallon (USA) = 3,78541178 liter

brittish gallon = 4,546092 liter

So that would be the second?

round2(3.9/3.78541178,5) $ / liter

=1.03027 $ / liter

round2(1.03027/1.09,5) EUR / liter

=0.94520 EUR / liter

Haven't seen anything under 1 euro for years I believe.

The lottery is a rip-off they make so much money and they are complaining how about sales being down, come on man y'all are killing us. Sales are down because people are not winning! That's the main reason why sales are down people are not playing as much because they are losing their money

Hopefully all the lotteries will use this as an excuse to dump all their crappier games (like Poker Lotto here).

Michigan has 6 Jackpot games. The Two multi state games plus the Fantasy Five, Classic 47, Fast Cash and the Jack .

Hopefully those will get weeded also. If they cut down on the number of Jackpot games the ones that are remaining will roll higher faster!

Ironically as much as I griped with the lower starting jackpots on MM PB still playing as much as ever. So tired of everything being blamed Covid-19, those lotteries know folks will still play. So let's screw the players and make it less appealing to play.

Lotteries hav some nerve complaining about decreased sales. They increased the purchase price on jackpot games, they increase the number of balls to make it harder to win. Thier greed forces them to add a midday draw in addition to the evening draw. They justify it by saying We find that the betting public likes being cheated

Soledad — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 13:46:09 GMT

So the lottery is banking on tax refund checks to boost their revenue? How about paying out ALL the grand prizes on all the scratch off games? Instead of canceling them before. Not to worry, they'll just make 3 other $30 scratch off tickets to go along with the 5 they already have. Forget about the $2 scratchers, they're not even on the shelves anymore...I think people should worry more about real bills....ah dare to dream. ..

Rising gas prices may impact lottery sales

Lottery Post — Mon, 14 Mar 2022 12:48:57 GMT

Arkansas Lottery Director says they are not surprised about potential dip in sales

By Kate Northrop

With gas prices on the rise, players may be cutting back on their lottery spending in the near future.

State lotteries may begin to see a downward trend in their revenue stream in the upcoming months should lottery players start to rethink their budget to accommodate for rising gas prices.
