Ep 198 | California's Road Charge: The Road to Broke | The Clock Strikes Twelve on a Solar Fairy Tale

from TIMpactful Topics with Tim Messer · host Tim Messer

In this episode of TIMpactful Topics, we take a joyride down California's latest detour into nonsense: the proposed road charge. Because apparently gas taxes, tolls, smog fees, and potholes the size of swimming pools weren't enough, Sacramento now wants to charge you per mile for daring to drive. I break down the scheme, mock the privacy concerns, point out who's really going to get crushed (hint: it's not the Tesla crowd), and draw some not-so-flattering comparisons to the state's infamous bullet train fiasco. I also address the scheduled closing of a $2.2 billion dollar solar plant in the golden state, after years of wasted money. And I talk a little football - the NFL rules they should change, as well as my TIMpactful Four Pack of Picks. Buckle up my friends - every mile of this rant is free. Unlike your commute in California.
