Point taken. My reference was to the delta vs. last year when the same issue happened. You can see the data here: https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/almanac/transportation_data/gasoline/retail_gasoline_prices2_cms.html
Doesn't CA import all it's oil from the Saudis? Well I mean, it does not produce enough in CA and the rest must be imported. No pipeline and I think regulations make railroad out of the question.
In Vietnam, their motorbikes which could be propelled by either an engine or by pedal, used diesel. I was very briefly surprised but being a young man there wasn't a lot that surprised me for very long. Okay, naked Jane Russell and naked Mae West surprised me and gave me an erection, but then almost any girl gave me an erection in those years especially in the Army and especially overseas in combat.
A couple of years ago, NJ legislature tagged an additional 22 cents a gallon. It was the last great automotive advantage we had. I can find gas for 2.35 9/10 a gallon now.
My wife says she pays about $2.799 with about a 4% rebate for Costco customers which works out to about $2.69/gallon for us. That's here in Oregon where the far Right bitches about our gas tax constantly.
LOL, now the state is going to cut off power to a bunch of people because there are fire dangers this weekend. The utilities are such fucking crooks out here.
Crooks would resume that they have something to gain at the expense of some victim. What do they have to gain while they're doing this?
They pay themselves huge pensions and bonuses. https://www.dailynews.com/2018/07/3...our-power-bill-and-you-pay-for-the-privilege/
Maybe, but what's that got to do with shutting off power to prevent wild fires during the season of wild fires and high winds?
They should have fixed their infrastructure to prevent these kind of issues long ago. They were too busy paying themselves with misallocated funds. The utilities caused that huge fire up north last year. They should pay for all of that bullshit. And for them to shut power down for the fire danger conditions, they need to pay relocation to all of those who are without power. I won't be affected, but even I know that's a bunch of fucking bullshit.
buy a solar panel and a generator like any good boy scout! Or just buck up the gas bill and move into your car until the power is back on!
It may be such a stupid decision that it is bullshit, but I still don't see what the gain for them is in shutting off the power. Hence, no theft, just a stupid decision at worst and a wise decision to avoid possible terrible losses from wind and dry season driven horrific fires at best. Oh, and I agree that they should pay for all the past fire losses caused by their faulty power lines. Stupidity is not theft.
Well, its to shield liability and their gross negligence in the past with providing outdated infrastructure.
They spent the money they should have spent on infrastructure to pay them absurd salaries, bonuses and pensions. So they'll just shut off the power to hide how badly the infrastructure is in the face of high winds.
