Exactly. Racist.

They should dump it all.

33 billion barrels of beer on the wall, 33 billion barrels of beer.

Take one down, pass it around…

“It will be used as drinking water and is enough to supply 816,000 people with enough water for an entire year”

If they only drink the water, perhaps 816,000, but if you go by average household usage, closer to 10,000 homes. So better than nothing...

Pretty sure they are referring to tap-water when they say drinking water.

On the other hand 816,000 is only about ten percent of the population. Maybe less.

That’s not enough to clean the streets of San Fransisco.

Did the rain water mix with the excrement on the street?

33 billion? What about the trillions of gallons draining out to the ocean?

Someday LA will get smart and try to catch that — but not while the Democrat Party is in charge.

Come to think of it, I think that I flipped the decimal point...should be closer to 1 million homes for one year, which is a decent amount.

When will it be released into the ocean to lower the salinity levels?

Why? California is know for flushing fresh rainwater out into the Pacific Ocean. I guess because the ocean is too salty which is racist.
