Waking up and smelling the burnt coffee... Here in Taxifornia... some are starting to see what voting for idiots creates. SF is having a school board recall with the major issue is the board spent more time trying to rename schools (especially Washington and Lincoln High Schools who owned slaves....) and eliminate merit to get into the one special school for high achievers than they spent trying to get teachers to return to work and educate the poor folks they claimed to represent. Then gasoline is probably going to hit $6 a gallon soon after "they" raised the taxes when prices were $1.99 elsewhere knowing it is easier to sneak a massive tax increase in when prices are still low. Then the papers this week are about a new toll road between where I live and Coyote Point... where before you could buy an expensive, subsidized Tesla to drive in the "commuter lane" with no passengers but now the made these lanes into "Toll Lanes" where the rich can pay for a better commute and a Tesla with a passenger can get a discount.... Then PG&E has raised the price of our power by 20% in the last few months AND there is talk about raising it another 20% or so to pay to burry power lines AND to make the solar people "pay their fair share" of all this infrastructure, they want to put a straight $70 to $100 per month connection fee on people who invested in solar.... since the rest of us have charges to provide subsidized low cost power to low income folks as well as those who charge EVs.... This should be an interesting November election.
