practices. how do they prove deception and it is a class action suit so that makes it different. proving deception, the preface itself is the business practice. they don t need to show intent, they don t need to show malice. it is simply enough they were marketing this as being cheaper and it company. and we have for example here, mcdonald s and fork, a two cheeseberger meal is $5.ç 99. if you order it individually it is $5.86. what would have ever thought to do the math, nobody ever i never counted it up like
declined by $1.18 a gallon. if we see only half of that decline this year, we could be looking at a national average that puts us at $1.86 a gallon somewhere around christmas. the price at the pump has fallen below $2 per gallon in many areas of the south. 68% of gas stations in south carolina, nearly half of alabama gas stations and 40% of mississippi gas stations. so why is the cost of gas so low specifically down south? taxes. the southeastern region, with the exception of florida, has much lower combined gasoline taxes. that s federal and state combined, than the rest of the country. we do see lower prices in a few other states. altogether it s about 20 states right now that have gas somewhere within their border selling below $2 a gallon. but the places where we see the lowest prices in the country, those are the states that have the lowest combined gas taxes. greg liskowski, thank you
good stuff. can i ask you what s in it? two extra shots of espresso frothy white milk on the top and it s served like a latte and it really gets you going. can you tell us about another liquid? prices have been falling. i ve been in minneapolis and prices as low as $1.86. $2.19 nationwide the average. that s a dollar less per gallon. will this translate to airline relief? it has already. if you were watching football yesterday afternoon i was watching the cowboys and there were ads from southwest airlines about fare cuts coming up. this is in part because of the much lower cost of jet fuel prices. it could spread to other airlines. and well, it s about time it did. southwest does so much for the military as an airline.
job for whatever they want. and i think there s pretty of economics on the fact when you raise wages you clearly limit or prohibit deutsche ememployment. not something we want to do that has not been proven in the numbers. said that in 1930. guys hold on one second. let me bring in wayne. talked about this before. these fast food workers, to flip a burger and put a french fry in a pot of hot oil wants 15ds an hour. our military starts military pay starts at $8.86 per hour. where s the disconnect here? well the disconnect, eric, that as you said, in smoob wants to reverse the free market stirm system or reverse the social order. jonathan was right. this is coercion by the government to coerce people to hire everyone. all you got to do look across the coast at cuba and see what it results in. a lower standard of living.
somebody has to be. george clark who lives in connecticut: so what is this all about? what are lucys and what s it all about? it s all about taxes. it s about the tremendous tax that you see right now on cigarettes in new york city. it s the second most expensive place in the country to buy cigarettes in terms of taxes. almost $6.86. in taxes on every single pack. that s federal, state and local taxes. right. boosted up. so these guys sell cigarettes on the street without the taxes. right. cuts about half of the money out. so you can buy it much cheaper on the street. that s right. this case a local owner that reported the fact that somebody was outside selling loose cigarettes and of course police have a big incentive to crack down on this because it s the state and city losing money. it s revenue. the guy had 31 arrests so he wasn t new to this thing.
