Deadline looms for mask mandate on planes, trains

The White House has only days to decide if it will renew the mask mandate on public transportation systems as COVID-19 cases once again show signs of rising.  The requirement to wear a mask on airplanes, in airports and on buses and trains has been in place for 14 months under the Biden administration, including several extensions, but is finally set to expire Monday.

we will explain the differences between the proposals of Cepsa and Repsol to offer you discounts of 30 cents per liter in refueling gasoline, something that is appreciated in these times when prices are through the roof. They are two services with quite different philosophies, so it is good to know the differences. It is not an additional discount to that of the government, 20 cents/liter are those reduced by the government, of which 15 are assumed by the state and 5 by the gas stations.
