Skyrocketing gas prices cause severe pain for Californians
The hill ^ | 03/19/2022 | Sharon Udasin

After eight years of driving for Uber with a perfect 5-star rating, Richard Martin is considering changing gears — not because he dislikes the work, but because California’s soaring gas prices are making his career unsustainable.

“I moved to San Diego from the Los Angeles area a little over eight years ago, and I thought I would do this for a couple of months,” Martin, 60, told The Hill. “I left the other day, and I couldn't believe that I had over 12,500 rides.”

As someone who lives in Northern CA, I can assure you that we didn’t vote for it anymore than We The People voted to elect FU Biden. California voter fraud is the prototype for the nation. The recent Recall of the bastard NewScum was major voter fraud; people showed up to vote and were told they already voted. I, for one, believe that Trump won or nearly won California on 11/3/20. There were DJT rallies all over California. The vote to rescind the gasoline tax in California was also voter fraud via ballot harvesting, illegals voting, etc.

California is not the only shit hole state with massive voter fraud shall we discuss GA, PA, WI, etc. There are audits all over the country showing that voter fraud is rampant coast to coast thanks to Liberal traitors.

Even my home state of Texas had and has voter fraud and corruption. No one is exempt from the evil that is permeating this nation.

California is sitting on the largest off-shore oil and natural gas reserves in the Western Hemisphere.

“I can assure you that we didn’t vote for it anymore than We The People voted to elect FU Biden.”

I agree with you, this “you voted for it” crud needs to stop when it comes to states. Here’s what happened in California even with whatever cheating happened. I’ve read claims that Trump WON California.

That red area in northern California is larger than plenty of states, in size and population!

Didn’t Newsom just handily win the recall?

I feel sorry for the loads of great patriots trapped in CA, but everyone else there voted for this and they have absolutely no right to complain

Right. There is someone on this site who claims the majority in CA are Republican conservative patriots, but they lose every single election due to Democrat vote fraud. I can't imagine getting cheated, swindled, and hoodwinked out of every single election for 30+ years. Looks like the few leftist in CA have been outsmarting the Republican majority for decades...lol

I was saving $200 a month in gas working from home for nearly 2 years. If I had to go to the office my cost would double and I only drove about 40 miles round trip a day using a 2016 Honda Accord Sport
Up to 26 city / 35 highway and 17.2 gallon tank.

I like ‘Up to’ as it never has. It should be called wishful thinking mpg.

It’s OK, brother Pete told us to just go out and buy an electric car or get on the bus. That’s his idea of ‘problem solving’.

I agree with you. NC had massive fraud but the actual votes were to much to overcome.

It takes tremendous boots on the ground to stop it.

The premise that people are to stupid to get registered needs to go away now.

We have not been able to elect Republicans in Washington State since we got mail-in voting a decade or so ago. There are the hardcore lefties and the vote harvesting from the homeless. Much of the state is red but is overcome by the huge leftist I-5 corridor north of Olympia, through to Seattle and on up to Everett.

Bezos moved his huge flock of lefties into the Seattle downtown corridor where they voted for every radical idea that popped into their pea-sized brains and helped destroy the city.

Now Bezos is moving a bunch of his loonytunes out of Seattle because too much crime and homelessness which were partly caused by him. Seattle is ruined forever now, like Detroit, LA, San Fran and many more.

Please knock it off. I can guarantee you there are more conservatives here in CA, than whatever state you’re in, and we vote solid red. We vote and our votes get stolen by the democrat party cheat machine that is destroying elections nation wide.

We didn’t vote for any of this crap.

The Newsome recall was prone to the same democrat ballot rigging and counting shenanigans as the general election was. We had to out-vote them 5 to 1 to overcome that and it still would have been a stretch.
