Imagine not having a company vehicle. My company literally pays for my company vehicle, insurance, maintenance and gas. The only out of pocket cost I pay for is an endorsement through another insurance company to insure I'm covered when using my company vehicle outside of work or rentals in another state/country.

No they wasn't. 20 years ago, the average price of gas in Cali was about 1.35 a gallon.

What a fuckin joke. Most of the country is at around $2.50 a gallon, meanwhile ours is over $4.00 a gallon. We literally have the most expensive gas in the country. More expensive than Hawaii, an island.

Higher octane? You have LOWER octane than other states. Highest is 91, while other states can get 93 and sometimes 94.

Yeah, but the difference was never this bad. We used to have one of the most expensive, and our prices were on average more expensive than the other states, but recently the difference has significantly increased. It is now significantly more expensive than the other states and we overtook Hawaii not too long ago as the most expensive.

Just came back from Texas and I was shocked how low gas prices were in Texas. I knew they were going to be low, but not HALF!!!! I understand Cali raised gas taxes for road maintenance but what on earth is the rest of our money going to?

I'm talking:
Sales tax
Property tax
Income tax
Business tax and corperate tax (we ultimately pay as consumers)

Ok. I'll spare you, because I know where that goes to. And if you're thinking education, think again. Politicians have plundering the budget in education for a while now.

Pensions. 60% of all taxes in Cali go to some old guy and his pension fund. Probably the same old guy who fights to prevent housing development to keep his property valuations high. Because nimbys are overwhelmingly old. Socialism for the eldery. Crony capitalism for millennials.

Smart states invest in the youth.
Dumb states invest in the elderly.

Lmao what a joke.

Gas taxes are good, though. The issue here is that a large share of the price increase is for non-tax related reasons

Mainly because of stupid environmental regulations
https://www.pacificresearch.org/why-are-california-gas-prices-so-high-these-days-thank-sacramento/

Adopted as part of Californias efforts to address global warming, the states low carbon fuel standard currently adds around 16 cents per gallon to the price of gas. And these costs will increase. A December 2018 report by Californias nonpartisan Legislative Analysts office predicts that the low carbon fuel standard will increase to approximately 46 cents per gallon by the year 2030.

Separately, the controversial cap-and-trade program, which was extended by the State Legislature in 2017, is estimated to add about 13 cents per gallon presently to the price of gas, according to the Legislative Analysts office. This too is expected to increase in the coming years.

Clinton: Gas was around $1
Bush: Gas shot up to almost $5
Obama: at its lowest was $1.98
Trump: Back up to almost $4 now.

See if you can spot the trend. Here's a hint, one party sucks off big oil way more than the other one does.

Remember: Income tax started at 1%. Then they raised to 2%. Taxes went up slowly but not enough to not cause an outrage. Now we are nearing 15%. Wheres the uproar?

Infrastructure is a mess.

Education got worse despite pumping more money into it.

And now California is struggling to pay off pensions. My guess is that why are hoping these old geezers die off pretty soon because theres no way to pay pensions.

Millenials are growing tired (and broke) of paying for benefits they had no say in. Theres something evil about plundering the wealth of future generations, but apparently I'm just an entitled millennial who went broke eating avocados. No it wasnt the taxes, it was the avocados.

The fifth largest economy is trouble and a collapse in California will have ripple effects throughout the country and the world.
