    The price of gas is high because CA taxes it at both ends.
    Naw, the state isn't responsible for the actual cost of gas, therefore the taxes applied wouldn't cause an increase.............that's the producers' fault that Newsome is collecting about 1.50 on each gallon sold.

    The price is high because MBS cut production a million barrels a day and the Russians are exporting less as a result of sanctions and the war. It's a global market I keep trying to explain but you folks are dense. As long as we participate in a global market which we will do as long as the oil companies are extant we will be subject to price fluctuations brought about by opec's actions.

    Damn when I saw the beginning of the thread title I just knew it was More Incredible Stupid in the Political Forum and someone was being honest. Sort of like Romney about his party that went batchhhittt crazy. Hell, just from all the thread titles you can see the BDS obsession and silliness..............
    So, Newsome isn't suing big oil.............
    What a relief for big oil.................
