70% of California rain water ends up in the ocean because they haven't built any new reservoirs... said Carly Fiorina in a Glenn Beck interview.
She's not wrong. California has had decades to plan for things like this but instead, Gov. dipshit and his cronies hoodwinked california voters to the tune of what will be over $100 billion for a choo-choo to somewhere other than where it needs to be. California is a state run by the leftist mob and that mob is stupid.
California has had decades to plan for a lot of likely disaster scenarios and has done nothing but redistribute tax revenue to favored populations. The next big earthquake will finish us off if this drought doesn't do it.
Will they ban the farming of rice and almonds, two crops that demand high water use, both of which became new, viable, high return produce because of the government's water pricing?
We had a drought back in the 1970's in California. This is like a deja vu all over again moment. The restaurants were told to not serve water unless you asked. We were told to not water lawns. Golf courses should dry up. No one should have a swimming pool.
The lack of water storage, dams, reservoirs was bemoaned by everyone. Infrastructure in water districts was terrible and should be immediately fixed. Agricultural production should shift to more water conserving types of irrigation.
So... deja vu. What happened? Actually within a year, we had a big El Nino (or something) event and the reservoirs were all full. Whew!!! Catastrophe over.
People forgot the emergency and everyone went back to normal. All the proposals for increasing water storage were struck down by the eco nazi's. Might hurt some snail or wild flower. Any thought of actually doing anything to be prepared for a future drought was either put aside in favor of newer shinier projects or squashed by the Green Movement which doesn't want to see progress anywhere, anytime.
So. Even though the last big freaking emergency was over....the morons in California just refused to plan in case their might be one in the future.
I hope all of Southern California and the Bay Area dry up and blow away.
Gov. Brown claims he's siding with the lower paid agricultural workers. His critics claim he's siding with big agribusiness.......The narratives are confusing. I thought Brown was a pet of the left. How can it possibly be said that he prefers watered almond trees to showered system engineers? I had no idea that the almond tree industry was such a corrupting influence. In Califfornia politics. Can even a soul as pure as Gov. Brown be prey to its foul manipulations. I can only hope that Rolling Stone sends a team of crack investigative reporters to report on the machinations of the almond cartel in California.
All day I face the barren waste without the taste of water (water) cool (water) water (water) Old Dan and I with throats burned dry and souls that cry for water (water) cool (water) water (water)
Strum strum strum a strummy-strum a strummy strum a strum strum strum, strum strum strummy.
The nights are cool and I'm a fool each star's a pool of water (water) cool (water) water (water) but whit the dawn I'll wake and yawn and carry on to water (water) cool (water) water (water)
Boy, is it ever dry outside. How dry is it? It is so dry I saw two iguanas carrying an outdoor water mister in the parking lot at Best Buy.
The magazine of OAS is published in both English and Spanish. Having a subscription to both is a great resource for learning vocabulary and grammar and such. You can actually tell which pieces start out in English and get translated and vicey vercy. This one story you can tell started out in Spanish because it's just so g.d. romantic and it has that uniquely Central/South American feel to it. Example:
It was so hot and so dry that in the middle of summer the last green leaf on a dying tree turned brown and fell from its branch wafting back and forth like a feather as it floated to the ground the rising heat slowing its descent until just above the ground the leaf exploded in flames with the ashes rising with the heat.
That just sounds Spanish. And that was just one example of how hot and how dry it was. The exaggerations were ridiculous involving birds falling out of the sky and landing cooked. The well bringing up hot coals, etc., the bizarre rustic campesino Dali-like imagery, it has a Cien Años del Soledad or a Federico García Lorca quality to it.
I suggest a hydroponic garden. For fun. James is considering raised beds. But that's the same as a regular garden except raised. What the fun in that?

Jerry Brown. The Hillary Clinton of elderly political stumbling and bumbling.
What Jerry needs is the Clinton media protection racket.
Obviously, Kim Kardashian would require more water than most just to wash her large ass.

We've got lots of water, here on the east coast, but we don't any porn industry to speak of, so make of that what you will.

NO hard questions for democrats!

The Republican Version: "Bigger corporations have a right to ruin more of our public resources than others."
People with money have more rights than others.
Napoleon the Pig smiles.
And speaking of Napoleon
The Republican Version: "Bigger corporations have a right to ruin more of our public resources than others."
Gee, seems like government and the environuts did this one all by themselves.
And then
People with money have more rights than others.
President Goldman Sachs said that IIRC.
Tell all the hollwyood leftists to stop showering and drain the pool!
Joking aside, DBQ is right. The time to think about this and act is during the wet years.
Drought in CA is nothing new.

Build a wall on CA's southern border and send the 4-5 million illegals home. Problem solved.
