Nothing that happens on the Left Coast ever surprises me.
This is similar to California trying to tax commercial
sattelites that flew over California air space and the
electric company that wanted to charge homeowners for
installing solar panels.


There's a company cafeteria in SoCal that expects you to pay for certain
items you bring from home. For example, if you get something from the salad
bar but elect to bring your own dressing, you're supposed to pour your own
dressing on the salad PRIOR to weighing it, so you can be charged for
something you already own. They don't let you buy a salad with no dressing.
Only in California.
