As a country of 'responsible' and cares about 'human rights' & ''demoncracy', USA can easily tackle her domestic gas cost.
1. Bump up her oil & gas production.
2. Cap her own oil & gas price to maximum $40 or below.
3. Sanction any of US oil & gas producer who do not follow the price cap.
4. Stop exporting US oil & gas to Europe.
With Gasoline Prices at all time high and polls show Governer Newsom is ahead in Polls Against Brian Dahle and if he Reelected in November 2022 plus Two Tax bills are going to pass the Climate Change Tax, Gasoline windfall profit Taxes and Regulations including Open Borders In California High Food Prices these two Taxes Climate Change Windfall Profit taxes this will cause the California Economy to either Collapse California Economy or Shrink Economy the Economy
I DO NOT WANT TO HERE ANY BITICHIN YOU GOT WHAT YOU VOTED FOR !!!!
When put JOCK in White House . Not surprise all these Trash . Good luck American !!!!!
Global warming is increasing the prices on gas pumps 😂🎉😅 Biden’s alternative will be to pump Americans blood though gas stations… blood thirsty vampires
The only oil Newsom cares about is the oil in his hair
It's almost 8 usd. People will start buying electric car as planned. 👍
Vote newsome out he’s proven time and time again he doesn’t know what he’s doing. We’re bleeding here… go to Ohio or any other state and there paying less than half what we are
And before you say it, no, I didn’t vote for newsom
Gas is way too insane in CA.
As usual these MSM reporters know the real reason why gas prices are rising is because of Bidens don't pump US oil policy. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out.
The special legislative session is just laughable. California charges some of the highest taxes on gasoline in the country. You voted for high gas prices. The oil companies make less on gas than the government does. California is just ridiculous. Your politicians cause the problem and then blame everyone else.
Everyone, PLEASE listen , Gas prices are out of control in CALIFORNIA; HIGH PRICES is due to the regulations and taxes only found in California . Don’t let Gov Newsom try to tell you it’s the oil companies responsible for high prices, because it is NOT. Take away the California regulations and taxes on gas, and you will see prices are similar to other states. Gov Newsom is primarily concerned about the upcoming election !!!
haha have fun suckers!!!
High energy costs are a FULFILLED campaign PROMISE. Why aren't you celebrating the receipt of what you asked for?
So basically the gas companies are going out of business and they're making us pay dearly NOW until it happens.
Stop your crying, you get what you vote for. You could of recalled the governor but you voted to keep the pain.
Gas company's are scaming people.
Gavin, pure fraud !
Keep tapping our reserves Joe ! Nice try fake news, You so called educated lefties are hilarious. Demonize and shut down the pure evil fossil fuels, then cry and blame others when the price explosion breaks us all. Yep need to go full electric ASAP. One problem, your need natural gas, coal and nuclear power to get it. Blanket the entire US with solar panel's, now that's great for the environment ! Every country run by the elite left are finding out its not fairy dust, and unicorn's falling from the sky to survive. Not to mention our boarder, crime, out of control JOE FLATION , and our life long savings going down the drain ! Mid terms and 2024 cannot come soon enough. Time to vote these America hating clowns out of office people !
Remember when we were energy independent and inflation was low and we had no new wars?
Newscum and demorats look like idiots. 😊
Nope, it is NOT the OPEC that make the CA gas price INSANELY HIGH. It is the crazy Democrat Socialist Gas Tax & Over-Regulation!
Don't believe me? Just walk across state to Arizona, everything is 40%-50% cheaper because they don't have crazy Leftist/Socialist policy. Not just the gas, electricity will also go insane high once everyone is forced into using Electric car in less than a decade!
So, people will vote for republicans because of high gas prices and democrats are at fault? So what will happen after the republicans get voted into office? Gas prices will magically drop? Amazes me how people can be so stupid into thinking that voting people out of office will solve their problems.
Not sure how newsome is leading in polls. Absolutely crazy. And I’m from northern Cali
33 = multiple of 11 Jst make oil in the US public and remove the profit factor and the mega millions of executive pays. Oil doesn't belong to the private businesses, it belongs to everyone, a natural resource that should b availabe to everyone at only the cost to extract. And gas, a critical resource in not only everyone's daily lives, but an element u want to have absolute control over to properly manage the economy, such as preventing inflation. Gas should also b publically operated but private businesses also allowed if desired.
Rigged elections have consequences!
Supply and demand, this used to be a free market capitalist country?
Anyone still living in commiefornia deserves what they get!
Soon, the United States of America himself will be entering the frey, this generation has proven it cannot lead this country anymore.
