“The solutions to Cali’s water problems are readily apparent. Drill down or desalinate. Pretty simple.”
There are 3 desalination plants planned or under construction in Baja California. They will be selling water to us. It is pathetic that Mexico has its act together in solving this problem while California wastes resources on the “bullet” train fiasco.
On another level you've convinced the Mexicans that accepting electrons that represent bits of colored paper backed by the full faith and credit of the US government (in other words faith that people will keep accepting US paper money and credit) might be a huge fraud they won't realize until its too late.
