Agreed. Although bit worried that AZ supplies will be affected. Both AZ and NV governors asked Newsom not to sign the bill. Hopefully, TX will build more refineries to supply us.
I can answer yes, depsite not having access to the full article. Our politics are almost to the point the curse of resources, like Venzuela
I gave a link to the entire article.
The points I gave were the relevant ones. The company announced that they were closing the refinery a few days after the new law was enacted. The refinery represents 8% of the total California refinery capacity.
Your other points are just spin by the company who will still have some businesses in California. For example
but didn’t say where the new fuel would come from.

You are implying that the law is so bad that that they’ll soon close the rest of their business in California, but you are only speculating.
I didn’t say that Phillips would close the rest of their business in California. But here’s what Chevron says about this law and others like it
Gas Prices: Chevron says California’s ‘is playing politics’ and ‘trying to appease voters’
I want to make sure that lawmakers understand the consequences of their decisions over the last 20 years and decisions that they’re making going forward," said Andy Walz, Chevron’s President of Downstream, Midstream and Chemicals division.
Walz has been working for Chevron for 35 years and said his letter to California lawmakers is his way of telling them they’re misinformed.
“There’s no place to put extra product. There’s no tanks where the refineries are full. What’s happening is that they’ve been shutting refineries because it’s not a place where people want to operate or invest in that business. California is directly trying to get us out of business, and therefore, there’s no longer the same amount of capacity,” he said.

Looks like PA votes are up to $100 from Elon, or $200 split I guess.
@elonmusk - If you’re a registered Pennsylvania voter, you & whoever referred you will now get $100 for signing our petition in support of free speech & right to bear arms. Earn money for supporting something you already believe in! Offer valid until midnight on Monday.
Monday is the voter registration deadline for PA.
@elonmusk - Note, to minimize fraud, checks will be mailed to your voter address on file with the state of Pennsylvania

haven’t heard anything from my AZ submission. We shall see
Nate does a good job sounding a “silver alert”
i don’t see why he feels the need to bilk this way. He is a billionaire
I dont see how this claim need be countered by anything more than a lesson on hotel economics. There is always a wide range of rates hotel guests have paid for the exact same room. The fact that some paid less than the secret service should be considered a given. And who cares about the government per diem rate, it’s irrelevant. The entore point of this “report” is to try to chastize Don Jr for not staying at the local Motel 6 instead of the Trump property.
Not to mention, how incriminating is really, to see that government employees visiting DC decided to stay at a hotel during their visit? This “allegation” apparently doesnt even allege anything besides the fact they did stay at the property.
I’m pretty sure I recall them having already tried to make this story a thing a few years ago?

Didn’t see this mentioned in MSM here: Elon’s upping the stakes $1M/day sweepstakes. I’m in. Hoping it’s not just PA but AZ too.

The DEI division of the Treasury has been giving out race based handouts under Biden to the tune of billions. Under Harris I’m sure that would be expanded. They can pay everyone off they like with printed money.
most significant of these initiatives is the agency-wide effort to redirect billions of dollars toward supposedly oppressed racial groups and other “underserved communities.” In 2021, Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary Yellen jointly announced $8.7 billion in investments to increase lending to “minority-owned businesses,” among other groups. Two years later, the Treasury announced that some 30 private companies were committed to raising $3 billion in deposits for “underserved communities,” to be delivered through community-development financial institutions (CDFIs) and minority depository institutions (MDIs).
The State Small Business Capital Initiative is another node of the department’s slush fund for favored racial groups. In 2021, Treasury announced that it was using SSBCI to route $2.5 billion to “businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, including those in communities of color.” The first $1.5 billion of this total was earmarked for small businesses in Treasury-designated areas “owned by individuals that have faced barriers . . . including membership in a group that has been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias within American society.” The other $1 billion went to “incentive funds” aimed at increasing venture capital investments in these businesses.
they’re also working to get the IRS to implement racial profiling in their auditing criteria. It’s important that certain racial groups committing more than the average amount of fraud not be audited anymore than the rest of us. Especially when those groups are strongly Democrat.

Sounds like a lot of opinions from those same ‘experts’ they love to trott out to deflect attention whenever things arent going their way. Of course CNN doesnt mention that experts have mixed opinions about this, and while the petition does say “registered voters”, there is no self-certification that you are registered when signing the petition, and it only encourages you to register with links after signing the petition.
And if so blatantly not legal, why hasnt the actual Election Commission weighed in with their opinion? You know, since that is about the only opinion that matters with this issue? Bet anything they’re sitting on it, with the plan to actually do what they claim Trump tried to do last election should the election go bad for them, and use this petition as ‘proof’ that fraud actually did happen this time.

Why are they anti-EV? also, DJT is anti union. Elon is anti union, but pro DJT, EV. Discuss…
It’s a cunning ploy to sell environmentally friendly Tesla products to global warming deniers.

I thought it was a ploy too, except his heart is in it. He’s DJT’s ground game in PA. I mean 1M/day giveaway!
Hmm … House Democrats allege …
- The Trump dossier was real
- The Hunter laptop was fake
- The emergency authorized vaccines are safe and effective
- President Biden is mentally fit and capable to be president, but not run for reelection.
Yeah, that’s a track record I’m going to jump behind with both feet. 
OTOH, maybe the Secret Service agents were paying for full service …

Interactive brokers lets you bet on the election with Yes/No contracts that you buy the for the current odds and then pays $0 or $1 each if you were right. Interestingly, they also pay you their cash interest rate of 4.x% while you wait, which is not typical for these things.

ahh that would make sense if it’s a Trump hotel. His grandpa did the same with hourly hotels in AK during mine boom. and moved his fortune to NY to "real estate
It’s a stressful job guarding him
