nominative determinism but for companies?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglo-Persian_Oil_Company
I don't think it's nominative determinism when the entity's name is determined by an attribute of the entity.
that's not what I meant, I meant how their actions and involvement keeps drawing them back to the origin of their name, thus their name having a deterministic effect on their fate.
Good for California's budget as well.
Is this due to CA's high gas tax? That is a fixed value per gallon, so higher gas prices will not affect this right?
And all the oil companies - CRC and Chevron are huge.
$0.60 + 2.25%.
The excise tax is a fixed .60+ per gallon, going up July 1. The sales tax is 2.25%, and local sales tax some additional percentage.
