Governor Newsom Wants Investigation Into High Gas Prices

She wasn’t poor. She was uneducated. But not poor

Uneducated? She got a degree from Boston University.

Where's your degree from? Oh right, you don't have a college degree because college is an indoctrination center and you don't think you need any education. Your development was arrested at age 18.

I feel no reason to share what degrees I do or do not possess. I could say anything and all you would do is say I am lying. Additionally, it would be giving out personal information about myself which I do not do

So you just talk out of your ass and hope no one calls you on it.

Trump's not a snob! That's why you snobby, hate the poor, rich white liberals try to ostracize him.

 

[Airstrip One]

Yes, they were lied to that Trump would build a wall and Mexico would pay for it, and that there would be a #Walkaway from the polls because of how mean liberals were to Conservatives in public.




Your instincts were completely wrong last year, so why would they be right this year?

Last year I thought the DOJ would eventually launch a criminal probe either this year or next. That's not even a credit to my instincts, but, merely a defense against your attacks on the obvious.

 

[Teflon Don]

So you just talk out of your ass and hope no one calls you on it.

No. I prefer my anonymity

Also, I have never come on here bragging about degrees I do or don’t possess.

I don’t believe college degrees are a measure of intelligence. I know plenty with degrees who are the dumbest motherfuckers I know. Obama is a perfect example.

I could tell you I have a business degree from Wharton
I could tell you I have an engineering degree from MIT
I could tell you I have a medical degree from Michigan
I could tell you I have an architecture degree from university of Arizona

Would you believe any of it? No. No matter what I would say, you would claim I was lying

Fortunately for me you are an irrelevant toadstool and I don’t have to prove anything to yoh

Criminals launch investigation into the investigators isn't a prediction, it's an inevitability.

 

[LV426]

No. I prefer my anonymity

But that doesn't stop you from submitting bullshit anecdotes about yourself.

 

[Airstrip One]

They're fucking guilty you retard.

They're fucking guilty you retard.

What's more likely; that there's a vast Deep State conspiracy that encompasses entire departments, intelligence agencies, the news media, Democrats, and foreign allies....

OR

That a reality TV show host conman grifted you because you're a sucker?

Well, given the evidence... Also, it didn't take the entire IC. In fact, Nunes pointed out that it seemed strange to him that the House Intel Committee was fed a briefing that was compiled by only four of the 17 IC agencies.

So you're the sucker. OK. Got it. There's a vast Deep State conspiracy that involves thousands of people who worked to undermine their own preferred candidate to get Trump elected so they could go through the complicated process of impeaching him to...what? Prove a point? What point is proved?

Seems more likely that Trump is a grifter and conman, and you got suckered by his sales pitch.

You're the type of person who buys a time share, who leases a car (and gets the undercarriage protection), and who would take an annual lotto payout instead of the lump sum.

I don't really care what happens to Douchebag Donald. I refused to vote for him. One thing that motivates me more than anything in electoral politics is seeing the Democratic Party defeated, and, ideally, destroyed someday, with much of its leadership implicated in conspiracies. We have historically been unable to capitalize on Democratic missteps, like the Civil War. This is much less embarrassing of a conspiracy by far, but, I'll take it.

Nice try, but the lifeboat has been burned. Like it or not, you're tied to Trump because of your defense of him here. So while you say you refused to vote for him, that doesn't square with your continued defense of him in this process.

. One thing that motivates me more than anything in electoral politics is seeing the Democratic Party defeated, and, ideally, destroyed someday, with much of its leadership implicated in conspiracies.

Show me where on the doll the Democratic Party touched you...

We have historically been unable to capitalize on Democratic missteps, like the Civil War. This is much less embarrassing of a conspiracy by far, but, I'll take it.

So you gotta go all the way back to the Civil War to make an argument. At the time, Conservatives were Democrats. But you knew that already, and are just trying to obfuscate and engage in bad faith because you realized your credibility is in tatters.

 

[LV426]

with much of its leadership implicated in conspiracies.

Again, what is more likely; that the Democrats engaged in a conspiracy to throw the election to Trump so they could go through the complex process of impeaching him, or that you're a dumb motherfucker who got conned by propaganda?

Seems the latter is more likely.

 

[rjhenn]

Bullshit. You can't pass any legislation without 60 votes in the Senate, dumbfuck/B]

Of course, that's not the actual rule.

 

[rjhenn]

Wow, you named one Latina, who looks White.

Your "climate" rally mobs are all fucking White people. You never noticed? Hmmmm. You Lefty's always judge everyone according to skin color.

You righties judged Obama strictly according to skin color.

 

[Cancel 2020.2]

This is a California to a T. We say global warming is an existential threat that must be dealt with and green energy is the way to go. Then we complain when we have to pay high gas prices and blame oil companies. And of course we break out that it hurts "working families".

If fossil fuels are the problem then we should celebrate higher gas prices. Make people drive less. I mean sure, paying $4.50/gallon is tough for lower income folks. Especially when we don't build housing in urban areas near the jobs and they are forced into 30+ mile commutes each way on a daily basis. But it's the trade off.




Californians pay too much for gas, and Gavin Newsom wants an investigation

Gov. Gavin Newsom called for an investigation into high fuel prices after the California Energy Commission released a report Monday detailing unexplained cost increases at name-brand gas stations.

The report showed Californians pay as much as 30 cents more per gallon of gas than people in other states for unclear reasons.

The commission found that even though name-brand stations have raised their prices, they have not lost market share to stations charging less, and the energy commission wasn’t able to determine why. It identified Chevron, Shell, Exxon, 76, Valero, Costco, and ARCO as brands that advertise higher quality gasoline.

“The mystery surcharge adds up, especially for cost-conscious, working families,” Newsom wrote in a letter to Attorney General Xavier Becerra asking him to open an investigation. “If oil companies are engaging in false advertising or price fixing, then legal action should be taken to protect the public.”

The report by the Energy Commission suggests that Californians could be buying the higher priced gas at name-brand stations because those stations are more conveniently located, take credit cards, or are perceived to have a higher quality product.

However, the report also outlined some potential illegitimate reasons for the phenomenon, such as price fixing and false advertising. The report says the commission requested that the companies advertising higher quality gasoline provide research showing their products are higher quality, but they didn’t provide any evidence.

“The CEC does not have any evidence that gasoline retailers fixed prices or engaged in false advertising. Moreover, the CEC lacks the expertise to determine whether such behavior occurred,” the commission wrote in the report. “The California Department of Justice is well equipped to conduct an appropriate investigation.”

In a statement, Western States Petroleum Association President Catherine Reheis-Boyd said the oil industry group is still reviewing the report.

“While we all review that work, it’s important to note that CEC’s own numbers show our state’s regulatory environment plays a big role in the ever increasing affordability challenges Californians face,” she wrote.

The energy commission has been looking into “unexplained” hikes in fuel costs since 2017, when it published a report suggesting Californians have been overcharged by $17 billion over two years. A group of Democratic lawmakers in January also sent Becerra a letter asking him to investigate the price increases.

Becerra’s office did not answer questions about whether it would launch an investigation, but confirmed it received Newsom’s letter.
