Saying they were siding with Hamas. Inflammatory rhetoric like that appeals to a larger segment of the population when it is under stress. And we are all under stress owing to jacked up gas prices and the cost of rent.

Why should CA pay more for gas than the rest of the country? Because we are a car culture? We buy more electric cars and hybrids. That should help save on gasoline supply. How do they always manage to squeeze us despite our best efforts?
