Calif. is apparently already broken.
I paid $3.45 for mid grade last week. And yesterday we showered and did the laundry.
California’s progressive government lives off debt and printed money only.
How can anyone afford to live and eat with rates like this? Then, while paying these outrageous prices, elect officials that want to open more borders to illegals that bring in drugs, consume welfare, break laws and will steal what little property you have.
The logic defies all reason.
For me (a CA native) and mine, it was 1986.

Given that California doesn’t have enough water, It actually makes sense to ration it.
Of course, they could concentrate on solving the water source issue, for instance by building desalinization plants, but they would rather spend the money on highspeed rail.
Saddened to admit this, but I find California merely an American learning experience each day. Californians are the puzzled victims of their very OWN voting records.
The insanity that is Cali today is simply the result of the actions of the government voted into office time after time after time. We are seeing Venezuala and Central Amrica within our own borders. Once proud cities being turned into sewers.
People who are able flee, bringing their foolishness with them to infect their new refuge.
maybe the wall should be built around CALIFORNIA, to keep them IN.
About cali being split into three... I would only support it if it was 1 state and 2 federal territories. That would both reduce the federal power of cali and give the rest of the country some control on what would come out of that mess.
Didn’t CA just pass a law that makes it impossible to convict someone of a crime? All they have to do is get a psych to say childhood trauma or something and they get off with unsupervised probation?
Long past the breaking point, Californian (& illegals) will continue to vote overwhelmingly DEM for the foreseeable future. Nothing short of a civil war to *greatly* thin out the numbers will change it.
Property tax on that $2 million hovel is $25,000 PER YEAR.
I paid $25,250 for my first house in Los Angeles.
Nothing will change until we build a wall around it and cut off all support. Six months and they’ll be begging to come back.
...When will California reach the breaking point?...
I’d say about 1974, when Governor Moonbeam was first elected.
Breaking into three states? The local water board will see the usage of water and if it increases from the norm set then I guess the water GESTAPO agents will be paying a visit.
The breaking point will come when people in the other states (or Congress) vote to expel California from the Union. Or at least demote California from a state to a territory, so their government can be repaired/replaced without them interfering with how the rest of America is run.
I think one of the issues in a place like CA is that different factions move forward with THEIR favorite cause. This is not done in concert or even cooperation or awareness of what another faction is doing.
Therefore, you have conflicting outcomes—like saving water by not showering one day, or doing laundry the next. In the end you get insanity.
I just paid 3.79 at Susanville last week. I topped off and headed for NV and stopped on Hway 50-cant remember the name of that town to save my sole..The intersection of 50 and 95. Anyway, I paid abt 3.18 there. I put just enough in at Susanville to make it to there.
