hi blavkwidow, sometimes transit can actually workout. Once I lived in downtown San Diego, and took the commuter train to Oceanside. I worked at a firm which was almost literally at the end of the rail line, 100 yards from the station...commute up the coast along the ocean, it was a perfect way to unwind or have a nap before work :)

anyway, with all these knuckleheaded politicians jumpin on the global warming gotta do something bandwagon...it'd be nice if transit fares were reduced or even subsidized.

oh well, I've saved heaps by not driving...cars can be a great big liability AKA moneypit, and traffic can drain sanity. I'm much better off walikin...I have more pocket change to play lottery on top of it :thumb:

USA is turning into a European socialist state, won't be long before gas is seriously expensive, and salestax becomes 20% or whatever. Right now however, USA has got it easy.

Iran can always artificially jack their oil revenues by taking hostages again...diabolically brilliant on their part, glory & extra premiums on their oil revenues for a while! Easier than printing money - and Unkle Skam is sure fond of printing those worthless greenbacks!

Gas Prices vs. Lottery...

Speaking about gas prices vs. the lottery...here's a new twist of the drawers...Price of milk :cow: went up 20 cents per gallon here in Ohio!
Question is...with the uppage of mundane things like milk...do you stop having milk in your cereal or in your coffee or don't buy ice cream or start using soy bean juice colored white so that you can play the lottery once in a while...or do you take the same percentage that you would pay for the milk to buy gasoline? Kids have to have milk and what about your kitty cat? The dairy farmers have needed this price boost for ages but the price hike couldn't come at a better time, could it? Even without the lottery as a past time our economy has gone to pot! Must be a harbinger of things to come...seems that the government has a tax on most things; what could they tax, hmmmmm, I know....a tax on being financially busted; or how about breathing in good oxygen and taxing you and I on air purification. Perhaps there will be an IRS tax on just having money in your pocket or a tax for children that do not maintain a particular grade in school. A tax on the lottery would be a joke just like taxing a government sponsored brothel, they'd lose parts of their anatomy on that one. Hahaaaa! The ...yous and mes (the little people of the world) aren't going to put up with much more of buracracy. The Roman army, when it got fed up with the current Caesar---"cut his reign short" and posted a new candidate. The US is getting fed up with the present ex-president to be. He's pushed "TAXES" to the limit so much so that winning a small lottery wager is becoming a necessity rather than a bit of enjoyment. Getting to be like working three jobs just to maintain a halfway descent symbolence of living.
Lottery in the US is hurting because the little Joe's that play and support each state, just about can't afford to play.

Lotto$Master, it is standard operating procedure, gas prices seem to get bumped right before springbreak, or other such big roadtrip holidays.

teufellj, milk up 20 cents? yup, now talk to the farmer and ask how much a gallon of milk SHOULD cost. Years ago, a farmer said a gallon of milk should cost about 90 cents...the rest of the $2.50 or whatever it was back then was all taxes & whatever profit the grocer makes.

anyway, the president is simply a convenient scapegoat. house & senate are too blame, all those bastards tackin honey-do lists onto bloated bills...judges not allowing laws to be enforced... IRS & Federal Reserve are pretty damn shady too.

later,

Hi ya, blitzed,
I believe that it's time for another..."Give 'em hell Harry" type president. One that's not afraid to speak his or her piece to the Senate or to the Congress.A president that won't "put a chicken in every pot," but will also not line his/her interests before the peoples that are supposed to be represented by that person. Period! True enough, many Heads of State have been ..."scapegoats" and patsys due to self-serving Congressional and Senatorial malfactors. However, it is also true that some leaders of our country keep a "hidden" porkbarrel agenda that we poor saps don't hear about until the deed is done! Why is gas and its products so high (?) because this president has turned into a "Lame Duck"; His secondary interests which are apparant, is to cover personal interests and I believe that we all know what they are. In my estimation his lack in the Arabic nations is beginning to cause problems stateside. He needs to either finish the job in a timely manner or GRT OUT with our troops! Hencewise, it will come to the "potatoe line" again and that was not fun. Yes, our president is probably hamstrung but he is also in a league that centers on oil commodities too.
Enough of this guys, how about we concentrate on playing lottery when we want to and can?
