Attention America: Californians will shower less
Investor's Business Daily ^ | April 5, 2015 | Andrew Malcomb

Posted on 04/06/2015 7:27:30 AM PDT by Zakeet

Signing far-reaching executive orders seems to have become contagious in American government, at least among Democrats.

Gov. Jerry Brown went on national TV Sunday to explain his newly-announced mandatory water restrictions that will, among other things, require California residents to shower less. And if you've ever visited France, you know what that means.

Last week Brown, now in his fourth term as chief executive of the nation's most populous state, said California has not properly prepared for the kind of long-term drought it appears to face now. Brown, who turns 77 Tuesday, did not blame George W. Bush, but instead global warming.

if ANYONE mentions this, remind them:

1. 10m+ illegals use a lot of water
2. a few desalination plants would’ve solved the problem

In other words, we don’t notice a difference?

How are they going to measure this? Mandatory low-flow shower heads that cut out when you have had the minimum amount of water?

Encouraging the invasion of the U.S. by illegal aliens is bound to have repercussions. Who knew it would be less water available for law-abiding citizens?

Californian BO will henceforth be referred to as Delta Smelt.

Environmentalists call the shots here now.

Perhaps Moonbeam should just give an Executive Order that all people should return to the 1888 method of bathing. I have an old book that says you only need ONE QUART of water to keep clean.

In a sane world, you just jack up the price of water and the problem fixes itself, if only in the generation of an outcry for solutions like desalinization plants.

Well, if I lived in Kali-porn-ia, I would wipe myself down with wet wipes and then use the shower wand to clean my nooks and crannies.

For my hair I would probably have to get a short cropped hair do and wash it in the sink....

Either that or get fined by Moonbeam for taking a regular shower...

You don't know how on the mark you are. My Aunt lives in Germany, which has been having lots and lots of rain, but because of the Greens they are mandated to two showers a week! It's time for California to return to the chant of .........If it's yellow let it mellow, if it's Brown flush it down!

Now when we say Ca stinks we mean it as a fact, not just a politcal insult.

I don’t know why the power plant cooling towers aren’t used instead as desalination units.Obviously coastal plants not inland ones.

Envirowhackos insist on ignoring the true facts of nature as in;bears are NOT cuddle and will eat people,subsidence farming means a stagnant society where very few have time for arts and research,and socialism never works in the long term and very seldom in the short term.
