    How about $ 7.90 CDN or $ 6.15 in Yankee dollahs for a puny American gallon regular at self service.

    Ours is the highest in the nation and going up another 5.6% in July. Was voted on to fix roads. He Governor has stolen the money. Giving to Muni transit and paying for bike lanes. Him and legislators should be charged
    with fraud. They have no fiscal responsibility. Make a drunken sailor
    look penny pinching. In January, the proposed budge was &225 Billion, and
    not enough money to cover it. Now they have jumped it to $300 BILLION,
    and trying to spend the $97 billion excess, that the law requires be
    returned to the taxpayers. This in a state that in 2003, 19 years ago, recalled the Governor for upping spending 36% to $39 billion. We only
    have 44% more people and maybe have those are in homeless camps.
    Inflation ain’t that high over the last 19 years.

    That's just the excise tax. FL has many other state taxes lumped on top of each gallon. Got to make up for the lack of state income tax somehow.

    I also read Georgia has their tax suspended. If all of this is true
    Georgia is scalping people. Gas should be 45 cents cheaper.

    GA only suspended it's excise tax, which is 0.29 a gallon. I live just across the line in SC, and gas is cheaper in GA than here. GA's suspension ends the end of this month.

    "GA only suspended it's excise tax, which is 0.29 a gallon."
    So it's cheaper by 29 cents compared to what it was in GA before suspension. You'll have to dig deeper than you or I did to figure out the rest.

    Just watch us!
    I think we finally introduced y'all to plastic bills. No more paper money to get wet and soggy.
    You will finally follow our lead tossing the penny and substituting coins for small bills. Nickels should be the next small coin to be finally kicked to the curb.
    Odd how many merchants still advertise their products as costing x dollars and 99 cents or 49 cents.
    Should be outlawed.

    We are rapidly becoming a cashless society.
    Of course the IRS loves money they can track but so do lots of regular
    people who are not trying to cheat on their taxes or hide illegal
    transactions.
    If you want to know what I have been up to, look at my CC statement.
    I can tell what I am doing too, money wise. I get a detailed breakdown
    online.

    Keeping my grocery bill under $600 is tough but the problem is meat,
    not Nyquil.
    I think I am done buying guns. I have plenty and the rest of that
    stuff is moot. My phone is sitting on the table at the house most of
    the time, turned off and my 97 Honda isn't saying shit to anyone. They
    can see where my credit card has been but I do still understand cash
    and being the ramp key guy here, I get plenty. Our treasurer only
    takes checks and people pay me cash so I don't really show cash
    withdrawals.

    Yeah really. Canadians always put an "A" in at the end of every
    sentence. You just put yours in early.
    Is that premature "A"jaculation? ;)

    Duh!
    Up here they add 15 percent HST to most purchases but we also round up or down to the nearest nickel if the total price ends up ending in-between. This applies only in cash sales...on debit card or credit card purchases you are charged the exact amount..
    ..down to the penny.
    Got it, Ditzy?

    He is saying all prices should be ending in a zero or a five. Then it
    always totals a zero or a five ... until you add tax. (as you pointed

    I knew a surplus store type place in Md that always priced their items
    to end up with a round number after tax. It looked like funny pricing
    until you saw it ring up. He said he hated handling change.

    We pay 15 of your sealskins as sales tax. 10 would be a major reduction.
    For yall math challenged, that would be a 33.3 percent reduction.

    Of course Don didn't understand it, an diverted from his lame point

    items are purchased, it could still result in a total that isn't a round >>> number.

    Not really. Everything came out to the next whole dollar at his store.
    In the case of avoiding pennies, price it so it always ends in a 0 or
    a 5 (cents). Then a nickel is the smallest increment you have. No way

    You will finally follow our lead tossing the penny and substituting

    Odd how many merchants still advertise their products as costing x

    Should be outlawed.
    If everything is sold at an even amount, let's say $1.00, it's $1.07

    Dumb ideas should be outlawed.
    He is saying all prices should be ending in a zero or a five. Then it
    always totals a zero or a five ... until you add tax. (as you pointed
    out)
    I knew a surplus store type place in Md that always priced their items
    to end up with a round number after tax. It looked like funny pricing
    until you saw it ring up. He said he hated handling change.

    Of course Don didn't understand it, an diverted from his lame point

    Really dumbass...maybe y'all had better check with your Inuit people in
    Alaska before making stupid comments.

    They kill them for food, not baby seals for their pelts. HUUUGE
    difference!

    The seal industry has been dead for decades.
    You seem to dwell in the past, Swill.


    Trump is also in the past. You seem to be dwelling in the past. And if we
    had not made a big stink over killing baby seals, you people in the
    Maritimes would still be bashing their little brains.

    What's amusing is that Donnie hangs his hat on unreliable
    information from an unreliable and untrusted confirmed liar.
    There's nothing funny about those needless kanadian slaughters of
    baby seals or of the claim that killing of civilians in a war
    zone is a cultural thing. There is no question that Donnie is a
    moronic tool who is easy manipulated.

    "Unreliable information" indeed!
    So why was that Lt William Calley Jr court marshaled. I'll give y'all a hint.....think My Lai.
    Y'all really are a jackass, Justine.

    https://piaohong.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/usenet/index.htmlWe pay 15 of
    your
    sealskins as sales tax. 10 would be a major reduction.For yall math
    challenged, that would be a 33.3 percent reduction.

    Sorry dumbass. We in America have nothing to do with the barbaric
    Kanadian seal hunts. All Yall characters up thar in the frozen
    true north should be ashamed of yourselves.

    Really dumbass...maybe y'all had better check with your Inuit people in >>>>> Alaska before making stupid comments.

    They kill them for food, not baby seals for their pelts. HUUUGE
    difference!

    The seal industry has been dead for decades.
    You seem to dwell in the past, Swill.

    Trump is also in the past. You seem to be dwelling in the past. And if we
    had not made a big stink over killing baby seals, you people in the
    Maritimes would still be bashing their little brains.


    This is amusing coming from a culture that was killing babies and
    innocent civilians in Viet Nam at the same time.


    Collateral damage. Maybe the civilians should not have been harboring VC.

    It's the sales tax that is the problem.  An item priced at $.98 with a
    7% sales tax would be $1.05.  Five of those items purchased together
    would be $5.24.

    He is right when the sales tax is a prime number. I never thought
    about it at the time but this guy did the tax on each item the way
    things were priced, not the total so I suppose he might have been
    screwing people out of part of a penny if there was rounding involved.
    I doubt it ever occurred to anyone tho. This was a surplus store where
    things were pretty much what people were willing to pay anyway. I am
    sure if someone did complain he would say "don't buy it then, get the
    fuck out of my store". He was that kind of guy but he had lots of cool
    stuff you couldn't get anywhere else.
    That was when we really had "military surplus" from around the world
    and not just a bunch of Asian junk.

    How does My Lai connect with what you claimed to be related to a

    Hey Ditzy, y'all posted an example of what would happen now.
    Try again with even pricing and 15 percent tax applied.
    I thought y'all worked the counter at Elite Contractor Supplies. Your boss probably had to assign someone to look over your shoulder all day long.
    He is right when the sales tax is a prime number. I never thought
    about it at the time but this guy did the tax on each item the way
    things were priced, not the total so I suppose he might have been
    screwing people out of part of a penny if there was rounding involved.
    I doubt it ever occurred to anyone tho. This was a surplus store where things were pretty much what people were willing to pay anyway. I am
    sure if someone did complain he would say "don't buy it then, get the
    fuck out of my store". He was that kind of guy but he had lots of cool
    stuff you couldn't get anywhere else.
    That was when we really had "military surplus" from around the world
    and not just a bunch of Asian junk.


    Funny you should mention that.
    As a teenager I used to envy your surplus store where you supposedly could buy a 2nd WW Jeep for a couple hundred dollars.
    Those ads on the back of comic books were probably bull but they sure stroked a kids imagination.

    Those magazine ads were a scam. They just sold you a catalog you could
    get for free if you asked.
    We did have a few real surplus places tho with just about anything the
    military used in Korea or WWII. They even had some WWI stuff.

    Prior to GCA68 there was also a place in Alexandria Va called "Ye Olde
    Hunter" that had surplussed military weapons from all around the globe
    (A store front for Interarmco that was an international arms
    merchant). This was mostly old bolt action rifles from around the
    world for $10-40 each depending on what they were. You really needed
    to know what you were buying tho. Some (most?) were 3d world crap that
    used ammo you couldn't get. A collector might be interested today tho.
    On the high end there were some SMLEs and German Mausers. I did have
    my hands on an old British W&S .455 revolver for $19 but I didn't buy
    it. I probably should have. I also imagine a SMLE with WWII provenance
    in decent shape would be a nice return for $35 too.

    We had a few of those stores here also. I remember taking the ferry over to Dartmouth to buy a military jacket.
    Guns were never a big thing here though. I bought my Lee Enfield 303 rifle out of a barrel at a hardware store for $19.95 and carried it home on a city transit bus. Now I can't even handle or hold a firearm in a store until I get my P.A.L. .
    Anyway we still do have an Army Navy surplus store within walking distance of my house but the last time I was in it was dingy dark and full of cheap Asian crap.

    I remember that shop in Alexandria. A friend of mine bought a beautiful "Swedish" Mauser there, manufactured in the 19th Century. Shoots 6.5 x
    55 ammo. I was with him when he found it at that store and bought it. I
    don't recall what he paid, but it was less than $100. It's a very
    accurate rifle that he uses when he pretends to go deer hunting.

    That was when we really had "military surplus" from around the world
    and not just a bunch of Asian junk.


    Funny you should mention that.
    As a teenager I used to envy your surplus store where you supposedly could buy a 2nd WW Jeep for a couple hundred dollars.
    Those ads on the back of comic books were probably bull but they sure stroked a kids imagination.

    Those magazine ads were a scam. They just sold you a catalog you could
    get for free if you asked.
    We did have a few real surplus places tho with just about anything the
    military used in Korea or WWII. They even had some WWI stuff.

    Prior to GCA68 there was also a place in Alexandria Va called "Ye Olde
    Hunter" that had surplussed military weapons from all around the globe
    (A store front for Interarmco that was an international arms
    merchant). This was mostly old bolt action rifles from around the
    world for $10-40 each depending on what they were. You really needed
    to know what you were buying tho. Some (most?) were 3d world crap that
    used ammo you couldn't get. A collector might be interested today tho.
    On the high end there were some SMLEs and German Mausers. I did have
    my hands on an old British W&S .455 revolver for $19 but I didn't buy
    it. I probably should have. I also imagine a SMLE with WWII provenance
    in decent shape would be a nice return for $35 too.

    I remember that shop in Alexandria. A friend of mine bought a beautiful >"Swedish" Mauser there, manufactured in the 19th Century. Shoots 6.5 x
    55 ammo. I was with him when he found it at that store and bought it. I
    don't recall what he paid, but it was less than $100. It's a very
    accurate rifle that he uses when he pretends to go deer hunting.

    They had a bunch for $40 or less but, as I said, they were strange
    calibers with 3d world markings. I never knew enough about old
    military rifles to take the chance. That is where I got my 1934
    Beretta for $41 and it was in a lot better shape than it is now. I
    carried it for years. It is still my favorite handgun because it
    points so naturally. I can hit what I am looking at without really
    even aiming and the recoil is so mild it is easy to get back down on
    it.
    It is 1942 vintage and probably presented to an officer. It has
    military markings but it is nickel plated with matching serial numbers
    on the major parts. .

    I really don't expect much from Justine and Ditzy Dan Kruger but didn't y'all used to brag about teaching math to students?
    No wonder your education system is slipping in the world rankings.
    Anyway my point to the semi-literate is that merchants here should round up to the nearest nickel since we havent had pennies here in a dozen years. Since our sales tax is 15 percent the gross amount should also end up at a nickel, dime etc.
    Anyway...last time I explain it.

    "There's none so blind as those who will not see"

    My comment referred to your thought that Alex worked at Elite
    Contractor Supplies.

    I've never 'bragged' about teaching math. Our education system is
    slipping because of the students we're getting, the union teachers who
    don't give a shit, and the parents who are uninterested.

    I once subbed an Algebra class with about 1/3rd Spanish-speaking
    students. They sat as a group in the rear of the room with one
    'interpreter', a female who knew nothing about math, but could
    translate to Spanish. However, when she didn't know what the word
    meant in English she had a hard time translating.

    Having spent a lot of time in different countries, I knew to talk very
    slowly and clearly. But, this meant that the English speaking students
    were getting less than they should.

    That was about 13 years ago. With the infux of illegals, the problem
    in the classroom has gotten much, much worse. Note that I've said
    nothing about student discipline. That has become horrendous, and it
    affects our rankings.

    My comment above had nothing to do with your penny/nickel system. No
    dogs in that hunt.

    We've had a "cent" since they were first minted in 1793.

    Ok. So, if something is priced at $.99 do you say it's
    99 pennies or 99 cents?

    Just my two cent's worth.

    We've never had a penny or pennies in the USA.

    We've had a "cent" since they were first minted in 1793.
    Our founding fathers wanted nothing to do with British
    currency or terminology. :-)

    Unfortunately popular culture never got that memo.
    Everyone says "penny".
    Who would wear "Cent" loafers. They sound like they smell bad.

    Ok. So, if something is priced at $.99 do you say it's
    99 pennies or 99 cents?

    Just my two cent's worth.

    I say it is a buck 05.

    As for "penny" it is the name of the coin, not the percentage of a
    dollar it represents. These days, even made out of zinc, washed in
    copper, it is still worth more than $.01 (melt weight value is about
    $.012 at ~$4000 a ton, the current price average for zinc).

    "A penny for your thoughts"

    ... and the famous "penny a day" program that was the first program a
    lot of software courses used to have you write.
    With the high level compilers people use these days your first program
    is probably a video game. Mine was 1401 machine language. I got it
    down to 5 cards, including the loader.

    One of my favourites is "A penny saved is a penny earned"
    Fits in with my thrifty Scottish/Danish/Welsh background.

    Another one we always heard growing up was "A bad penny always returns" or some variation.
    Down the street was a lady who ran a boarding house. She had a relationship with a man who turned into a wino.
    His name was Penny and when he came around on occassion he usually looked pretty rough and the old saying always popped up.
