Gavin Newsom moves ever closer to turning California into a communist state – after setting wages in fast food outlets, he is now seeking to control gas prices

From here:

California Gas Prices Skyrocket: Newsom Targets Big Oil and Sparks Controversy - Middle America News

“Newsom aims to cap gasoline producers’ profits. Critics argue this will burden California refineries, eventually leading to drivers being charged over $6 a gallon. Last year, the governor signed an anti-price gouging law that establishes an industry watchdog and increases scrutiny on oil companies...”

Newsom has no right to cap anyone’s profits – the industry is not a cartel – or a communist state into which California is rapidly becoming.

“Gas prices in California have soared past $5 a gallon this year, largely due to high taxes and strict regulations on the industry. Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom blames the state’s expensive gas on greedy oil companies.

As with all socialist/communist juntas – it hits the poorest the hardest and ruins everyone’s standard of living – reducing choices and the chance to do things that you want to do.

Energy poverty created by morons with the express purpose of creating a world of misery with Newsom acting like Chairman Mao.

“State Senator Susan Rubio, a Democrat, said, “Some of us come from very disadvantaged communities and they are the ones who bear the brunt of the cost hikes.” Even lawmakers in neighbouring States, like Arizona state Rep. Justin Wilmeth, a Republican, worry their states could feel the effects of California’s gas penalty.”

Some Californians will get their gas from neighbouring States – creating supply shortages and price rises there – unless of course oil companies just switch supply to the neighbouring States – depriving Californians of their gas but reducing profits (with less gas supplied) and thus meeting Newsom’s moronic socialist demagoguery.

Watch for prices for public transport to increase – flights, taxis and so on and so forth.

Newsom is not smart enough to start his own company – though this is the ultimate goal – all means of production – though not his vineyards and not certain French restaurants.

A pox on his house and all the libtard demoNrats in the State destroying its beauty.

One size fits all, right, Newsom? Any discretionary disposable income people strive for, as long as it’s zero, no matter how much work is done or talent is wasted.

Onwards!!!
