        We are paying three dollars more per gallon here in Germany because of the stupid war your country started in Iran, while you are largely unaffected yourself because of your own oil production

          America just cares about it’s own interests, and every time I see a country work with them, I’m just waiting for the betrayal to come.

          The world is still stupid though and believes that Trump is an idiot, despite him accomplishing his every goal. This place is funny because there are a lot of people here unable to think strategically. They think conflicts between countries are accidents and nobody stands to gain anything. :)

          Largely unaffected? Our prices have soared since the war in Iran. Our prices were substantially lower before Iran because of our local oil production but it’s very clear to most Americans that our fossil fuel consumption is largely supplemented but foreign oil. And we are seeing the result at the pump. Sorry you’re paying even more but you were paying more than us before too.

            You’re still paying less than many of us were paying before, man the fuck up and stop complaining. Literally living in one of the most privileged countries in the world.

    Ads for gambling should be prohibited, just like those for tobacco and alcohol.

        But without ads, our children and grandchildren will have no idea what to do when they have a structured settlement and they need cash now.

    some of us charge our BYD electric cars from solar panels on our roof and ride our ebikes charged similarly.

    I never saw such thing in canada. But let me guess, you see ads but the gas price is not any cheaper than other gas stations without it?

      Correct. Loud, half blown speakers, usually three adds in a cycle. If we just avoid stations that have them.

        Read that as “country” and was confused, because this is a very 'Murican thing. Not saying it doesn’t exist at all elsewhere, just that it seems to be extremely common in the US and not so anywhere else. There would be riots in a lot of countries if they even tried this.
