How the hell do liberals think gasoline is processed? Oh yeah - its out of thin air. We don need no stinkin' refinery in Richmond!

I did note that one the pro-Chevron protester shown was also black, btw, and he was trying to point out to what appeared to be a bearded white liberal male and a droopy white liberal female that Chevron=jobs for Richmond.

The “people” of California are allowing their state to be legislated out of existence.

After all of the businesses and working folks move out who will be left to pay the taxes that support this marxist utopia?

One small problem with Chevron leaving Richmond. Chevron would have to pay billions (if not tens of billions) to clean up the site they left behind.

I wonder if the city of Richmond knows that.

Yeah. I bet they do.

“Richmond limits Chevron’s crude oil”

. . . thus adding to the price anguish.

They can’t move. New refineries can’t be built.

It would have to be an upgrade to a different refinery.

“The provisions would have required Chevron to give a total of $1 million a year to the city’s construction training program, summer youth employment and an industrial arts training academy; create an urban forest in the city”

That is extortion and blackmail on the part of the local Govt.

If anyone but the Govt was doing it, it would be a felony.

....yep, that’s exactly what it is alright!...and it’s becoming all the more common...Jesse Jackson pioneered the race card corporate shakedown over 20 years ago....now other grievance groups are piling on....we stockholders are STUPID for allowing company management to get away with this....look for a whole lot more “community reinvestment” presssure if Obama gets in....his wife has already told young people “..don’t go into business, be an activist”
