Meanwhile, In California

http://www.businessweek.com/news/2012-10-03/california-gas-stations-begin-to-shut-on-record-high-spot-prices

FWIW, I have never seen a sharp increase such as the one this week.

Fucking CARB… (among other things).

Im sorry for some of you folks there, but Ill tell you my opinion.
And that is Kalifornia deserves EVERY bad thing it gets, period.
Bankruptcy, high prices, loss of jobs, crime, EVERYTHING.
IT has brought it ALL on itself from decades of doing almost everything
contrary to common sense and decentcy. You wanna be edgy & cool with all your "progressive"laws? FINE. Reap what you sow. Sucks your not gonna get a bailout. Crime sky high? GOOD. Keep wristslappimg your felons, and letting illegals run the show, fuck you very much.
Cant buy gas? GREAT. Thats what you get for voting in nutjobs who make you have God knows how many custom blends of fuel, just so the tree hugging whack jobs are happy. Jobs leaving at a record pace?
Superb. Keep taxing the ever loving fuck out of people and buisness.
The state is a goatscrew from top to bottom, and they STILL wont admit they are wrong and their past policies of 40-50 years have destroyed them. So, IMO, fucking rot in the hell theyve created, serves them right. When I drove OTR, I FLAT OUT told my companies I wouldnt cross the fuckin Kalifornia state line, and I didnt.
Again…for your level headed folks, sorry for you, but yall need to get the hell out and leave it for the scum.

deleted double post…

So…tell us how you really feel. :smiley:

I leave November 5th, and I can’t wait. I fucking hate this place with a passion and I regret taking a job here two years ago. It wasn’t worth it one bit.

I left there last year & could not be happier. It is a Goatscrew & most people don’t have a clue what is going to happen there.

I have talked to three people recently who have finally decided that it’s time to leave. People are & will be leaving that state in droves. It’s beyond time to “pop smoke” there.

New Mexico, Texas, and Arizona got together and offered California to Mehico in exchange for them leaving the other states alone.

Mehico said no.

:jester:

I can’t wait to bug out. Would like to transfer to a college in NV or AZ…

Hell, the first time I visited Reno, I bought a 30 round Pmag, err, rebuild kit, out of principle. If I keep it disassembled, it’s legal to have here.

Thanks for sharing, spot prices are one thing . . . rationing and shortages are another. :eek:

Funny but of all of the shit-holes that I have flown into around the world, SoCal was the only one that I remember actually having to worry about taking a bullet up the ass during an approach.

I recall the Notices To Airmen regarding reported gunfire at various coordinates, mostly around the time of the LA riots.

I always remember the irony of driving to Cali from AZ thinking how once I cross the border it becomes illegal to have my loaded handgun in a place where I am more likely to need it. Always loved having to choose between becoming a criminal myself for packing or take the risk of becoming a victim.

I also remember watching the riots on TV from Huntington Beach fondling my AK, 870 and Glock 20 while the local sheep were freaking out on the news because all of the gun stores were closed, sold out or looted and these simpletons finally realized what the significance of the Second Amendment was ( the hard way).

I also remember cheering for the Koreans who were so well armed, organized, and stood together as a group making a last stand to protect their businesses / livelihoods from all of societies fucking bottom feeders that wanted to come get some free shit cause now was their chance to have YO (as in your) TV. Koreans didn’t get the memo about handing out the free TVs, that was certain.

It was a sewer there twenty years ago.

I have lived in southern and northern Cali for a few years, total.
Such a beautiful state. And so in need of a few well placed Nuetron bombs…

Pretty funny.

Actually, I would be a lot happier here in Austin if the Kali’s would stop moving here. Most of the illegals act better.

I pray every day for the BIG ONE to hit. I have friends there, but they made that stupid choice. So… fuckem.

Agreed. The more Californians that move to this state, the more screwed up it gets.

I was going to say something but… here it all is right here. I’ll add that you need to stay right where you are too. They’re starting to spread out to other states at a record pace and bringing their bullshit theories with them. I just had a conversation with a couple in their 40’s a few weeks ago that were moving here to Colorado from CA. They asked about cell phones and driving and I said that I thought it was a law now but I didn’t care because I use handsfree since day one anyway and I drive safely so I don’t need laws to tell me how to not get into accidents. She went on to say ‘Well, you know that we started seat belt laws in CA, right? We started that.’ as if she was proud about all the laws CA had ‘started’ and just a minute earlier she admitted they moved because of how bad things had gotten there. Really!?! Now you’re coming to Colorado and bringing your same liberal agenda and you think that for some reason you won’t do the exact same thing to this great state that you did to the once-great California? People just don’t get it man.

This has happened to NH via MA. People from MA moving to NH to save $$$, and then bringing their MA attitudes/Agendas to NH and trying to kill the “Live Free Or Die” state with MA nonsense toward fire arms, etc.

People in NH are pissed, and rightly so. Me, MA is cold enough as it is, so if not for the weather, I’d consider NH. When I get out of MA, it will be in a southern direction (possibly so southern in wont be in the USA, but that’s another topic).

For what it’s worth, I don’t consider myself a Californian. (I’m not even a native)

Not only no, but hell no!

It amazes me how people can’t draw a correlation between their stupid ideas they want made into laws and the current state of their… state. No accountability and it’s easier to blame something else I guess. Blame the government! Wait, we elected that government and then pushed our agendas onto it. Oh well, blame the government! Let’s go to a state that isn’t broken and we’ll try to change it to suit our ideals because that seemed to work so well here. Grrrrr

I have spent the month of August in Laguna Beach for the past few years, granted only a few weeks a year, but never had any problems, great weather, great beaches, good surf, fine restaurants, mountain biking, occasional hikes…always good but the area may have been a bit more upscale than ‘Compton’ ! Up until two months ago, gas was the same price as here in South Fla, what bizarre cirumstances led to this acute price hike is unsettling as may be the untoward effects that may result as well.

Right on. There was a ten year period where metro-Phoenix had the most growth in the country. It was mostly from Cali’s broken sewer pipe.

Because political Liberailism ideology has issues w/ capitolism when you truly break it down. It’s flawed & incompatible w/ capitolism unless there is no more Capitolism & then becomes collectivism. Regarding elected officials, accountability, checks & balances etc. is the answer.

go figure…
