In my home city in the 70's two service stations on the same intersection got into regular price wars and at one point the numbers dropped to below zero. Gas pumps can't do a zero/gallon measurement so they set the pumps to zero, did the calculations manually and paid people a few pennies per gallon. The traffic was so bad that the city threatened to charge both stations for the traffic cops which ended the competition
I don't know a thing about R. Kelly. But it seems he and his family are sick and people are after a piece of money out of his flesh, which is very often the case in show business. However, he might just as well ask for the electric chair right now ---- because the media is going to make damn good and sure that he cannot get a fair trial anywhere in the USA.
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/afro-fest-tiny-jag-detroit-153825185.html Rapper Tiny Jag pulls out of Detroit music fest after learning white people pay a higher ticket price Detroit-based rapper Tiny Jag pulled out of a Detroit, MI music festival this week after she learned that white concert-goers would be charged a higher price than people of color. Jag, also known as Jillian Graham, told the Detroit Metro Times that she found out about AfroFuture Fest's pay model when a white friend reached out to her and sent her a screenshot via Instagram that outlined the pay difference. The early bird POC ("people of color") ticket was $10 while the early bird "non-POC" ticket cost $20. "I was immediately enraged just because I am biracial," Graham told the Metro Times. "I have family members that would have, under those circumstances, been subjected to something that I would not ever want them to be in ... especially not because of anything that I have going on." The organizers of the event are upfront that they are charging different prices based on race, including sharing artwork on social media with a caption about early-bird tickets that reads, “Early Bird POC Tickets are $10 & $20 for NONPOC’s & on sale until JULY 17th.” . . . Looking forward to the mirror event on pricing Bravo Lady. I probably would not admire her art, but I do her character. Moi Charge s Extra. Twice Extra if Dual Citizens!

Monsignor Rubén Darío Jaramillo Montoya will perform the mass exorcism for the Colombian seaport of Buenaventura during the city’s annual patron saints’ festivities. “We want to go around the whole of Buenaventura, from the air and pour holy water onto it to see if we exorcise all those demons that are destroying our port,” he told a Colombian radio station. The bishop, ordained in 2017 by Pope Francis, added he wanted to “get rid of all the wickedness that is in our streets” during the helicopter flight. . . . . . Moi It burns!

More power to his right arm. The Catholic Church has a lot of influence in South America so I hope the adherents aren’t that credulous.
Is it your premise that ethnicity, nationality, and political ideology do not matter? Or is the future just communism. Are you seeing it from the coastal hills?
Stranger Than Truth but is https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/carjacker-attempts-flee-elderly-mans-171822548.html Carjacker Attempts to Flee With Elderly Man's Car But Didn't Know How to Drive Stick Shift: Police A Florida man was arrested in Orlando after allegedly stealing a car from an elderly man on Tuesday, but the would-be carjacker didn’t make it very far. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office say, Jaylen Alexander, 25, didn’t know how to drive a car with a manual transmission, and was forced to abandon the alleged crime after stalling the stolen vehicle several times. According to CNN, Alexander approached the elderly man’s vehicle — where the keys already in the ignition — as the victim went to put his walker in the trunk of the car. That’s when cops say Alexander began to assault the man — slamming the trunk on the victim’s chest before getting into the driver’s seat and locking the car doors while attempting to drive off and flee the scene. He was charged with carjacking, battery on a person age 65 or older, as well as grand theft of a motor vehicle, according to Orange Country court records. A search for Alexander’s name on the Orange County public records shows a separate February arrest in Bithlo, Florida for which he was arrested and charged with grand theft and resisting an officer without violence. The records also include an 2017 arrest for probation violations and a 2015 arrest for grand theft from a residence or dwelling.

The cows are fed with grass from local soccer fields, potato peels discarded by the french fry industry, and leftover bran from area windmills. Those resources are picked up and delivered to The Floating Farm with electric cars. The cows—a native Dutch breed called Meuse Rhine Issel—are milked by robots, each heifer producing up to 25 liters (6.6 gallons) of milk per day. There are other robots on the island, too, but they’re tasked with the less desirable job of cleaning up manure, which is then recycled back into the neighborhood as fertilizer. Currently, about 23 retail outlets in Rotterdam carry milk from The Floating Farm. . . . Leave it to the Dutch to once again subvert the natural order of things. They were ingenious enough several hundred years ago to erect a system of dikes and canals so they might exist in a land that would otherwise be swallowed up by flood waters. . . .

The idea was to showcase new pop stars who appear on the company’s online streaming site; the term “husband” is how China’s female fans refer to male pop stars who are so charming they fantasize about marrying them. Enter Acrush, a hot new “boy band” that performed at the tour’s last stop in southern Zhejiang province, where the group is based. They had one big surprise in store for fans: They’re not actually male. Acrush is made up of five women mostly in their early twenties, who all have edgy short hairstyles and dress like a bunch of boyish hearthrobs. The group won’t formally debut with a music video until the end of April. But it has already garnered a big fan base after several appearances at music events. Its fan page (link in Chinese) on China’s Twitter-equivalent Weibo now has nearly 900,000 followers. By comparison, Katy Perry, also a big name in China, has about one million Weibo followers. She do look frustrated!
Those Chinese kids are on a collision course with the Party I think. Ingenious milk production. Wonder if the cows have an opinion.

Minnesota does not have any Krispy Kreme stores, so Gonzalez, of Champlin, Minnesota, would drive 270 miles to a Krispy Kreme store in Clive, Iowa, every weekend and buy up to 100 boxes to resell in his hometown. When Krispy Kreme first learned of his business venture, it told him to stop, citing concerns of "product quality and regulatory compliance." Now the company says it will allow Gonzalez to work "as an independent operator" so he can use the business venture to help pay off his student debt. Krispy Kreme is giving a college student 500 boxes of doughnuts after first asking him to stop his resale business of its product. Stranger Than Strange or just Krispy Kreme Profits bottom line.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/clinton-donors-charged-massive-campaign-131442639.html Clinton Donors Charged in Massive Campaign-Finance Scheme Eight people, including major Hillary Clinton donors and a witness in the Mueller investigation, have been charged in a massive campaign-finance scheme, the Justice Department announced on Tuesday. The individuals conspired to “make and conceal conduit and excessive campaign contributions” valued around $3.5 million in the 2016 election campaign and beyond, according to the announcement. Although the indictment does not specifically name the recipient of the donations, it is clear that the contributions went to groups allied with Clinton’s presidential campaign. One of those charged, George Nader, is a Lebanese American businessman who was a witness in the Mueller report. Nader was also caught in 2018 in possession of child pornography, but received partial immunity in exchange for testimony in the Mueller investigation. He faces between 15 to 40 years in prison if convicted on child-pornography charges. Also indicted on campaign-finance charges was Ahmad “Andy” Khawaja, who hosted a fundraiser for Clinton in Los Angeles in 2016 and who conspired to conceal campaign donations from 2016 to 2018. Khawaja owns an online-payments company used by, among others, debt collectors, offshore gamblers, and pornographers. The company has made numerous campaign donations to both Democrats and Republicans. . . . . Oh Hillary How Could You Be So Associated With Criminality not involving a body count? Moi No

The study by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) found that, when conducting a particular type of database search known as "one-to-one" matching, many facial recognition algorithms falsely identified African-American and Asian faces 10 to 100 times more than Caucasian faces. The study also found that African-American females are more likely to be misidentified in "one-to-many" matching, China's SenseTime, an AI startup valued at more than $7.5 billion, had "high false match rates for all comparisons" in one of the NIST tests, the report said.
