Broke CA has to follow the NY model and try to shake down the companies doing business there. Were I an oil or gas company, I’d shut off the pipelines to CA and be done with it.
There’s a serious move afoot here to ban gasoline engines in 2040. Everything will run on rare earth elements and batteries.

Well chew over this one. CA now charges a 1% of retail “tax” on lumber. It’s supposedly to “level the playing field” for the timber industry. The CA timber companies claimed that CA’s “regulations” made them uncompetitive with out of state sources, so the solution is to shift those costs to the taxpayers here.
