Above are gas prices in Memphis, but it continues into California.  They love to tout CA as a failed socialist experiment.  Go there often, its the business and buzzing place around.  Prices are high, of course, but people that live there are much more affluent.  The homeless issue is amplified because they don't make a habit of giving them absolutely “no where” to go.  

“Have to chime in here. The facade of California is yet another MAGA lie. California remains the 5th largest economy in the world since 2017. California is the 5th largest economy in the world for the seventh consecutive year, with a nominal GDP of nearly $3.9 trillion in 2023 and a growth rate of 6.1% since the year prior. You cannot claim they are a failed state. I am a bit supporter of capitalism and anti-communist. Milton Friedman is one of my idols. My company is out of California and I go there often. I love California, especially San Francisco. I get they have a bad homeless problem but its yet another amplification of the far-right.”
