Getting it good and harder

I blame the greedy oil and gas corporations. And Trump.
In today’s edition of Getting What You Vote For, the dummies in California are about to get hit with a 50 cent per gallon gas tax.
Remember, California voters have handed the Democrat party full power over the former Golden State. Democrats run everything from the governorship on down. Democrats not only hold majorities in the state legislature, they hold veto-proof majorities. In other words…
Republicans are powerless in California. And so…
According to Triple-A, the average cost of a gallon of gas in California today is $5.29. That’s nearly $1.70 more than the national average. In some parts of California, gas costs $6.32 per gallon. The lowest cost for a gallon of gas in that Democrat-run shithole is $5.02.
Now add 50 cents to those prices.
Tee hee.
Fox Business reports:
In September, the California Air Resources Board (CARB), the state’s primary environmental regulator, reported gas prices will rise next year by about 50 cents a gallon and every year thereafter to aid in clean air efforts. The price increase does not include the existing gas tax in the state.…
The report foresees gasoline price increases due to the Low Carbon Fuel Standard reforms that were created in 2007, likely rising by 47 cents next year and 52 cents by 2026. Diesel prices could climb by 59 cents this year and 66 cents in two years. Long-term projections suggest gasoline could surge by $1.15 and diesel by $1.50 per gallon from 2031 to 2046, with jet fuel increasing by $1.21.

My client base is almost all oil and gas production other than one medical company.
It’s difficult for me to believe a state like California can do this and still keep a super-majority in their state legislature.
Oregon is also the same so I moved from there to Montana in 2022.
Washington actually had California copy it on something for once. We've had that same basic tax for over a year now, which was supposed to cost pennies but did cost about $.50/gallon. Though the good news is that it's going up for initiative to repeal this Fall. Sadly, if it does get repealed (which it will) by voters, the Governor and AG will just ignore what the voters said in all likelihood. They already recently did that with the Sound Transit car tab fees a few years ago. It's all about protecting democracy though.
A big learning experience from 2016 and Trump v Hillary was how entrenched the power structure is in DC as a UniParty. John McCain flying to DC on his deathbed just to spite Trump and further the ACA money-laundering law was when my eyes opened fully. Nothing about the ACA improved healthcare for most Americans.
So goes Cali so goes Colorado. Thank god it's just a Yellowstone lone wolf to blame rather than major dem governors and legislatures phucking over the public.

COLORADO: Gas prices to skyrocket in these 9 counties and it’s all Polis’s fault.
Gooder and harder.
The 1-2% of the population fags like Polis and the .1% (at best) trannies have so much political power in these Far Left states. I’m happy to be in Montana.
You guys in the weeds again on climate change
Some more of that Team Dazzler corporate capitalism that he is always promoting. Just don't call state run industries socialism. That upsets him. What could go wrong. Tens of billions for bullet trains to nowhere and now government run oil refineries.
Sounds expensive.
Some things are expensive but worth it. The problem with leftard government is that its expensive and makes things worse. Like public education.
It's called ballot harvesting and illegals. Exactly what they are trying to embed in national elections.
