About State of Gold
Restoring the California Dream One Bold Idea at a Time California was once a beacon of prosperity, hope and innovation – symbolized by the Gold Rush, Hollywood and Silicon Valley. Today it’s the least affordable state in the nation and plagued by poverty, homelessness, and sky-high taxes. How did we get here, and how do we turn California around? State of Gold is a media platform and citizens’ movement dedicated to restoring the California dream. Host and longtime real estate and tech executive Jon Slavet combines practical wisdom and insurgent energy, as he sits down with voices from across the spectrum. The show will examine and promote the best ideas from any corner to solve the state’s most pressing issues. State of Gold cuts through the noise to explore what’s gone wrong in the Golden State – and what it’ll take to make things right. www.stateofgold.com

California still need to rely on oil to power their cars and power their businesses and be able to get to and from. So, you know, that's a big issue there and a big driver of the cost increase in California. You know, obviously we we do pay a lot more in taxes than other states. I think that's a reality as well when it comes to prices at the pump. And that can't be ignored. Um, and then, you know, thankfully we should be getting some relief here in November when we switched to winter blend, which is a little more affordable, uh, fuel product in California. […]
