6.00 bucks a gallon girls and boys I live in one of the cheaper places in California. I can't imagine, LA, San Francisco or San Diego. . Yikes, Good thing I never drive a lot, but as the country has become more corrupt and greedy I only drive the bare minimum. My friends come over. 32 miles, no you come over. Trumps answer, I am good, who cares about people who are not as corrupt as me. I take chances with prison. If you play by the rules, you get what you are deserved, More or less seems to be his mindset. Mylot needs a barf emoji Anyway, I went to the bank. On way back to my car. This older lady, probably in her mid 60's goes, "excuse me sir." You have any spare change? We all heard that a 1000 times. What was difference here is how remorseful she sounded. Like I cannot believe I am asking people for spare change at a bank. Pulling a suitcase, like just became homeless and not a shopping cart. I bet she voted for Trump No, sorry no change. I was not about to give the lady a 10 piece. My lowest bill. Sorry to inconvenience you sir. You are good and she tells me to have a good day, you too, I am trying she says. I probably do have change in my car but really do not want her following me to my car. Funniest thing happened, I found a quarter, on the way to my car,. I go, Ma’am, it's just a quarter, but found this right now. Here you go, thank you. Then get farther this time and two more quarters,. I am like what the hell, I can barely find a nickle these days. Look around., I do not see anymore. I go back here is another 50 cents. She goes, goes thank the lord he will provide or some crap. I was thinking OK, what ever lady, what gets you through the day. Maybe you should look around over there, but wait till those cars leave. This is Bank Of America. Security saw me find the quarters and give them to her They also seen her ask a car if they had change. Wait for it, I bet she was asked to leave 5 minutes later or she just left because I am sure she knows the game at that age. She did not seem mental and was polite and California is very expensive. Anyone could go homeless at any minute. Why it pays to be polite to people no matter your circumstance, Most homeless people ask in the rudest of ways or even if polite, they get rude when you do not offer them enough or what they want. Corruption is my biggest pet peeve because it leads to homelessness. Homelessness is my 2nd because what kind of people treat their own people like that and you can use mental health issues all day, but still does not fix the problem. Then Its greedy people. No one needs that much and its about the most obnoxious thing in the world. So tell me why we started a war with Iran again?

Because he can. Califormia is one of those of those states where the priceses are high, and people are willing to pay. Gas priceses are up here in FLorida, too, but not nearly as bad. Sure I cringe at the pump, but it could be worse, and it still varies from week to week.

Fair enough, it still is not a good way to live or a smart way to live. The best way is hope your state has successful people living in it but did it the right way. The problem with California is so many wealthy people normal people do not stand much of a chance here. Wealthy buy elections and just raise the cost of living any where they go and this state has the most wealthy people in the world.
