Got a major drought going on out here so let's tear down the dams. Makes sense to me. Sort of like stopping the Keystone Pipeline

Clean energy and they are killing it.

Apparently it is not clean vs unclean energy but rather an agenda to kill energy.

Is Northern California trying to make Southern California die of thirst?

Insanity.

But it’s not. It must be planned.

Control state.

They just want to eliminate any farms still operating. Decrease the food supply, decrease the population.

Easy fix. Just charge ridiculously exorbitant prices for water and fine Californians for using too much. Everyone in the state can landscape their yards with fake grass and Echeveria plants.

Democrats take the “whatever a democrat touches, they destroy” slogan very seriously.

It’s quite the other way around. LA MWD keeps working hard to steal water from NorCal, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Oregon, Washington, the Great Lakes, the Missisippi, Canada, and even Alaska.

If Putin ever loses his current job I’m sure MWD would hire him. He’s their kind of guy.

But the water that runs all the Disneyland rides will still flow.

I will have to admit destroying your state to save migratory salmon does make destroying your state to save migratory Mexicans almost make sense.

The Klamath is complicated. The natives have legally valid treaties that are being asserted and they want their fishing rights restored. The other legalities are downstream from the native treaties.

it’s the leftist’s environmental analog to suppressing cures for the CCP bioweapon to promote the crap jabs.

their real goal, enslavement, has nothing to do with health or the environment.

My gawd, I can’t believe I still live in this State of Morons.
It’s a matter of family.
