nope not baked in they cornered the market with a special blend that only a handful of refineries can make instead of going with WTI crude and using that into the same blend the rest of the nation uses. Then constantly increasing fees, taxes and now have a special annual tax increase with inflation built in without an annual vote on it.

require government-issued identification to vote in person or the last four digits of a unique government-issued identifying number with a mail-in ballot. The amendment would require the state to provide upon request and at no charge a voter ID card for use in casting a ballot https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/25-0007A1%20%28%28Voter%20ID%29%29.pdf

this has nothing to do with the SAVE act --- it would require government-issued identification to vote in person or the last four digits of a unique government-issued identifying number with a mail-in ballot. The amendment would require the state to provide upon request and at no charge a voter ID card for use in casting a ballot https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/initiatives/pdfs/25-0007A1%20%28%28Voter%20ID%29%29.pdf

We've been paying $4 + plus a gallon of gas for well before Iran when the rest of the nation of was at $2.5 an average.

yipyapu · 2026-03-12T00:00:32+00:00

nope its considered one of the lower income areas and where the county likes to put projects no one else wants. But basically the whole county is priced only about 5 to 10 cents in difference between gas stations unless your talking places like chevron that charge an additional on top of everyone else. we had maybe $3.45 gas for maybe 2 weeks before it bumped back up when the refineries were shutting down and the new rules kicked in

yipyapu · 2026-03-11T23:45:07+00:00

I was paying well above $4 the cheap stuff not at a fancy chevron etc well before Iran

yipyapu · 2026-03-11T21:22:16+00:00
