I’m sure that a lot of people are reconsidering their summer vaction plans due to the rising gas AND food prices. I know that we are!
I don’t mind paying for stuff, but this is getting way out of hand and I’d rather go 70 miles upto the mountains or somewhere nearby instead of flying and use the money saved on the actual vacation.
I’m sure (or hope) that if landbased players know about the internet or are introduced to online gambling that there is a good chance that more of them will check it out for the first time.
On the morning news today they were talking about how the rush hour traffic has dropped off in several states and how people are now car pooling and taking mass transportation so this situation is affecting almost every aspect of every day life. Thank God I work from home! :cappy:
I think that the rising costs of living such as gas & food won’t impact our industry allot because of it being online. If it does it will be positive because people will visit Brick casinos less and us More.
However what it will do is force us to actually back up what we preach. People have been promoting carpools and low carbon footprints for decades now but as soon as the US has to pay over 4 dollars a gallon then it’s a problem. I personally think that rising fuel prices are a blessing in disguise (I do own a vehicle) because it’s a slap in the face that Western Society needs to finally change our ways.
If your children asked you to pay 25$ more a month for cleaner gas/ethanol to fill you tank or $5,000 more for a hybrid or to ride your bike to work it would be worth it just so that they could breathe normally and live to see a polar bear right?Higher gas prices has got to be a good thing for the environment with less vehicles , or more fuel efficient models on the road, but I feel the impact on the rising cost of living is more than most people can absorb. I feel fortunate not to have to leave home to work, and not to have 3,4 or more young ones to feed…..grocery prices are outrageous here.
I feel it will have a positive impact on online entertainment such as gambling.
