Are your gas prices coming down then? I paid outrageous gas money coming down from Alaska in June. But I love Canada, its like going back to the pre-hippie days in the US.

This isnt good for me outside of poker either for a few reasons.

Cliffs notes:


-Plants make american products here because its cheaper then running it in the states. They get very busy and want to use automation to speed up production so they can keep up their orders.
-So they pay me to automate stuff
-Dollar goes up, its no longer cheaper. People get layed off, plants run mostly canadian skews, no problem keeping up with orders.
-No one pays me to automate stuff.
-I buy one of those roulette systmes you see advertised on youtube and try to make a living as professional roulette player. I run a only a little above expection, resulting in me losing my life savings. Out of spite, my wife doesn't leave me.

The part of me that plays poker from Canada realizes this is a huge beat.

Beat: most of my life bankroll is in US currency.
