    Yeah, taxing the average consumer more but refusing to tax billionaires is regressive and dumb as hell. Newsom is a sellout

      The exemption on silicon valley’s sales tax is a defacto subsidy of billionaires.

        Why stop there? food stamps are a subsidy for corporate ag. Public roads are a subsidy for big oil. And schools are a subsidy for all the companies that don’t educate their workers. Wow, we are very smart of have realized this
