My buddy left California for Tennessee a couple years back...he occasionally sends me reminders of why he made the move.

I know quite a few people who lived under communism, and I experienced it firsthand myself. It’s a life of quiet desperation, constantly seeking a way out.

California raised its gasoline tax 2.2 cents to 63.4 cents, cementing itself as highest in the nation. Gas Buddy's heat map shows average gasoline prices across the USA.
