It’s like the dems are in love with the oil companies. Letting them gough the already poorest population in the US, Californians?
The biggest reason is for some reason dems in Cal pretend we are not a state in love with cars. Then they have all these formula for different parts of the state for no real reason. And, they don’t have a pipeline to texas in case supply in interrupted. And finally there’s the rich persons game of carbon credits making all things more expensive.
Gas is over 4$ while the rest of the country pay just over 2$. The cost of living is why Cal is the poverty capital of the US. Dems love to make things more expensive with mandates.
Cal making the rich richer, and the poor homeless. While pretending otherwise.
From the article:
“Analysts blamed the spike on California refinery maintenance, low national production and global economic uncertainty.”
“Prices are probably going to stop running higher and when they plateau, then they’re going to drop and will drop pretty quickly in the near future,”
What’s you excuse for the po dunk red states in the south consistently being the poorest, less educated and highest in government assistance? Since you’re so bothered by what liberal California is doing…
How come the “po dunk red states” don’t have 4.25 a gallon gas prices?
They are not the poorest when cost of living is included. If you had a po dunk red state education you would be able to do math a lot better and know that. But your dem state education has left you easily manipulated by numbers…
Cal has the most poverty… Ask yourself why you think otherwise?
Sadly, they do move out of the state. But,are not smart enough to understand why they had to leave,or why all their friends had to leave, and they still keep voting democrat, when they go.
Complaining about the prices in California is like complaining about the prices in Aspen. If you live with enough billionaires and millionaires, the prices are going to be high due to economics.
The other problem with California is population. There are more people in Los Angeles County then my entire home state of Michigan. What do you want the government to do? Do we allow unlimited pollution into the valleys, and sell off the public lands?
I only heard two things in California: it’s horrible and it’s great.
You have a TV fantasy version of Cal in your head. Most of Cal is S. Cal dry empty space or N. Cal Forest… Most of Cal is not LA or the Bay area, it 's the hwy 5 and hwy 99 ag areas. Tons of poverty there. No representation because the state is too large.
And comparing a city (aspen) to an entire state is silly. There is no reason to have near 5$ gallon other than poor planning and a hostitly to driving by dems. ( Who almost all drive too)
