Where's the Rum Gone? .:. WorkerBee PH-Pool Week 230
Okay, I admit... I changed the original quote from the movie Pirates of the Caribbean a bit to suit my blog post... 😃 The original was "Why is the Rum Gone?", but I needed a bit different... So, welcome to another rant inspired by this movie quote, and a couple of recent news around the globe...

First things first... That movie is one of my favorite movies of all time, and probably the whole trilogy pentalogy is one of the best... If you didn't watch it, you missed a lot of laughs and fun... For those who didn't watch, the rum's gone because the lady from the GIF decided to burn it all, to create a big smoke signal to be found from that deserted island...

Now back to the topic... Which isn't about the rum, but rather about MONEY... I try to avoid the word HATE, as I think it's wrong to hate something, but I can say that I hate politics, and I can't stand politicians... I was dealing with some in real life, and they didn't change my view at all... They were exactly as I was imagining... Corrupted, filthy, egoistic people, poisoned by power... Long story short, I do try to avoid politics, and I try to skip any news regarding politics, but sometimes, that's impossible to do...
Like recently, with all this Musk-Trump drama that was happening, where you put in the mix some wealthy people in a combo along with politics... To be honest, I'm pretty conservative regarding both of them, but I saw a comment on the Internet about the DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), where the author of the post asked a simple question: "Where's the money gone?" There were some cuts (not enough to fill the hole), but the story never got the ending with the answer...
Interesting comment from social media... Source: Facebook.com
The second news that I (unfortunately) read was about how the EU (European Union) is pressuring Spain to start implementing tolls on their highways! 😡 The best thing that happened to Spain in recent years was the lifting of tolls on most of the highways in the country, which helped with the budget of ordinary people... But, somewhere since the end of 2024, there is a big pressure by the EU to bring back tolls...
The campaign continued this year, and that's how I found this news... As you can see, there are some numbers in the game, which means that the change will happen sooner rather than later! But what I can't stand the most are statements like this:
Currently, the maintenance of Spain's road network is funded almost exclusively through the public budget, which, according to Seopan, diverts resources from other areas such as pensions, healthcare, and education.

Amazing! Politicians who care about their citizens! (Irony alert! 😃) Who would say something like that exists? Do you believe in fairytales? 😃
Honestly, I don't care anymore about them... It's just annoying... Do whatever you want, but don't touch my crypto! 🙂
Let's see the WorkerBee Pool numbers for this week...
This week, we have mined 104 BEE tokens in total, back to the average numbers...
This week we didn't have new delegators, but we got new delegations from old members! Thanks guys! Appreciate your support!
This POOL doesn't have fees, and you get up to 20% MORE by delegating to it!
What about the bonus tokens?
One of the Hive-Engine tokens that gets the most action is definitely the SPS token... It is the governance token of Spliterlands, which has other use cases too... Whenever something "big" happens in the game, it is reflected immediately on the token price... At this moment, there is nothing "big" on the horizon; the price is slowly going down, but that can change in a matter of days! If you are accumulating SPS tokens, pay attention to the game development, as you will be able to speed it up!
There will be distributed 250 SPS tokens to the delegators of the pool as a bonus reward today!
As always, in the end, let's give the exact numbers for this week... 104 BEE tokens and 250 SPS tokens will be distributed as a bonus... The APR (without the bonus) was 6.912%, and when we added the bonus, it went up to 8.251%!
I have calculated the ROI approximately with medium prices for all tokens when creating this post... So, those numbers are valid if you bought WB and sold BEE tokens at the middle HiveEngine price...
Do you want to sponsor the PH-Pool with your tokens, receive a short SPONSORED segment in this post, and raise awareness about your front-end or dApp? Please let me know in the comment section, or contact me through Discord or Twitter, and we will find the best solution for both parties...
If you want to join the WorkerBee PH-Pool, the only thing that you have to do is to STAKE tokens to YOUR account and DELEGATE your staked WORKERBEE tokens to THIS account (@ph1102)! Every week, you will get your portion of mined BEE tokens and BONUS rewards!
.:. DO NOT STAKE TOKENS TO MY ACCOUNT!!! Just DELEGATE! .:.
All payments will be made after publishing this post...
If you have any questions, please leave them in the comment section!

I loved that movie. It was such a great thing to watch.
As for politics, it's crazy. I prefer not to get involved, but they always try to make things harder for people. I do think there are things that could be good with government intervention, but I don't think tolls are one of them.
Thanks for running the pool and for the BEE/SPS tokens.
Well said! lol... Instead of doing good, most of the time, they make things harder for people, mostly because they don't represent people, but rather corporations...
pirates of the carabean also has great music by Hans Zimmer , about the toll roads france probably want to keep the tourists in France and probably came up with the toll road idea since more people now drive to Spain from other parts of Europe ? Crypto is still being taxed anyway 😜
The music in the movie is legendary! After watching, I was singing along for the whole next day... hehehehe
And regarding roads, your theory about France could be true... They do have expensive highways...
Ph!!! Dude, I'm just finding out about this Ph-Pool initiative! I want to join and be part of that pool. I need to check my second-layer token wallet to see how many Bee tokens I have. I don't think there's much, but I can buy a few to start. By the way, if the title of this post said "rum," you know you have my attention! Cheers.
!BBH
Hahahahaa... Rum or Whiskey are your two favorite words! 😃
Regarding the pool, it is about WORKERBEE tokens... When you stake them, they "mine" BEE tokens... So, don't buy BEE tokens... It appears that you had a bit too much rum and didn't read the end of this post... 😜
Cheers!
You mentioned the toll, so I have to speak up.
In Serbia, the toll from Belgrade to Dimitrovgrad in one direction (320km) is 15e. And in Bulgaria the toll for 7 days, for all roads, is 8e.
And with that, there is news in the media: "Toll prices are expected to increase in Serbia". Thieves!
Pirates of the Caribbean. Great choice, a little action a lot of comedy 🙂
In the link I shared, they mentioned a price of 3 cents per km, which is lower than you shared (over 4.5c). I have a feeling that everything is more expensive in poorer countries... The "superpower" of corrupted politicians! 😡
We gotta pay to use highways here, and every year it becomes more expensive, guess what, price increases right before holidays, what a coincidence!
The excuse here is hilarious, manutention of highways is too expensive and money could be used on healthcare and such, but it's ok to use billions in weapons, ok lol
I didn't even want to go into the weapon discussion... It's ridiculous to read those nonsense excuses and "care" about the small men...
I also can't stand politics or even listening to people discussing it. they do really dumb stuff like these bottle tops.
We are Taxed the most in history and it's still not enough.
So true... Usually, when people can't pay anymore for all the nonsense, we have some kind of revolution or wars... That pulls the break for some time, and maybe pushes back a few steps... But in the long term, the pattern repeats, and we get more taxes as someone has to feed all that "necessary" bureaucracy! 😈
I like your take with politics. Not having one or simply not caring for it is my stance as well. The unfortunate thing there is no escaping it because it is worldwide. The statement from Facebook is true taxes can surely rip apart even a $1. It makes you wonder how much is actually left after the taxes taken multiple hits on it. Oh DOGE I'll remain silent as I had to do a task for it every week and worry about my livelihood. Just glad it is gone. No fairy-tales with politics just all the dirty description you made 😆
When I remember learning about old civilizations and big empires, many times I heard how they exploited their citizens with "big" taxes... You had to give 10% of your gains!!! Compared to today's taxes, it's like a "baby tax"... lol...
When we would summarize all taxes, I bet it would be closer to 50% than to 10%... 😃
Yep politics big nope for me. Thank you for the SPS!
The biggest issue is that the number of politicians grows like a cancer... I hope the cure will be found...

As you are saying that this is a very artistic movie, I will also try to watch it on Sunday and then I will tell you how I liked it. By the way, I also like watching more artistic movies because after watching them, we feel relaxed.
Thanks for the stories and update.
And, yes, happy holidays! 😎
Happy holidays to you, too! 🍻
I've heard much above the movie, especially the memes created about it on social media, but haven't watched it yet. I think politicians are among the top "fakest" people you'll encounter, they can be really good with words, but it's just that, words, master manipulator, stabbing the public with a velvet glove while they smile and look at them in the eye lol. I'm mostly on the fence too with politics.
😱 That's impossible! You have to watch it! 😂
Just kidding... Perhaps it's not your genre, but it's a relaxing and entertaining movie...
And regarding politicians, I have no further opinions from those in the post... If we are on the fence with politics, we are having a healthier life... 🤣
That's basically it lol, the genre is not something I usually watch, but will change now for sure!
Definitely! They should be explained out of the human occupation circle although unfortunately they're also a necessary evil in some ways :)

This may become increasingly challenging for us, to keep their dirty hands off them.
You are right... Luckily, we have a few steps advantage... When they catch up with us, we should find something else... 😃
Yeah I saw the comment before.. It's amazing how everything is somehow taxed and then re-taxed.. Oh well.. That's life I guess. Fortunately there's crypto. Hehe. Thanks for the update and tokens!
!LUV
We have been taxed heavily, like never before... I suppose it's enough to see that "death/debt clock" of the US government, and you can get the point where the money has gone... 😃
