One word answer: Yes.
Even worse are the mush-brained voters who continue to vote for this tyrant.
Gas is now over $5.00/gallon in California - ≈ $2.00 more than anywhere else in the country. Newsom blames the oil companies (of course) for the high prices and not his stupid “climate change” policies and punitive regulations that have driven gas companies out of the state.
My medium-sized town is littered with empty businesses b/c the cost of doing business is punitive. Newsom continues to push policies that drive businesses out.
If the oil companies are gouging in California - why aren’t they doing it in other states as well?
Go ahead and dis him at your own peril. He’s very smart.
