California's about to hit $10 per gallon gas this summer, and even Democratic lawmakers are finally asking 'What the hell happened?' As usual, decades of virtue-signaling policies designed to make California's gasoline 'special' have created a supply crisis that would make a first-year economics student cringe.We break down how California's green energy fantasies drove out refineries faster than tourists fleeing San Francisco, leaving residents to pay premium prices for their moral superiority. From the 65-cent carbon fee to fuel credit schemes that make zero sense, we explore the layer upon layer of regulations that turned basic economics into political theater.Meanwhile, Democratic lawmakers are scrambling to blame everyone except themselves—Trump's tariffs, price gouging, global markets—anything but their own policies. Is anyone surprised that businesses are telling California to take a hike when the state makes it impossible to operate profitably?When your gas tank costs more than your mortgage payment, will Californians finally connect the dots? Like and subscribe if you're tired of politicians creating expensive problems then acting shocked at the consequences.
