Death Valley has always been about double gas prices
it's Death Valley, what you gonna' do in the middle of Death Valley
we have a bunch of idiots in our Gov. doing what ever the hell they want
& not what the voters & constituent asked for or many times even voted for,
just like Prop 8 was
Or that pet project of the last 2 Gov.'s a $150,000,000,000
train to nowhere, that nobody wanted & nobody voted for
Not all of California is like that either
our gas around here is between $3.77-$4.05 for 87 oct. swill
still way too high, for a gallon of gas, diesel is worse
& it's basically a by product of making gas
the farther upcountry (up the mountain or in the sac. valley/inner-shitty's)
& more out of the way or rural, the more expensive it (gas/fuel) gets
SF area has extremely high gas prices too
looks like LA area suffers from the same ****
Unfortunately the high gas tax & gas prices we have now
goes to **** it shouldn't (or **** we didn't even vote for)
or to some lame *** social welfare BS, to illegals or homeless
transients or transplants, all from east or south of here,
most of it 'we didn't vote for' or to **** like a pet project/"PORK"
for the loony tunes in our govt., to their dist. as pay off/bribes
been going on now for near 20 years under the party leadership
we have today & the previous Gov., screwed US over, for a decade
