Nanny State PING!

“Our sources tell us that you had been vasting vater, Mr. Smith. It is da people’s vater! Our Block Watch Commander counted you flushing your toilet forty times in one day! Dis is not acceptable! De Poopie Patrol is vatching you!”
They mean from alive to dead.
Recall the 1999 Parris Glendening outdoor water ban in Maryland due to the drought, the Balt Sun and local TV broadcast the ‘rat on your neighbors’ phone number hot-line enforced by police.
Quite a fuss was made and neighbors turned in neighbors.
Finally a Hurricane Labor day weekend heavy rain for days ended it.
I’m confused. I thought going green was trending. So now brown is the latest?
Smirched are necessary for police states. Jealousy and envy drive the snitches. This is entirely different from reporting actual crimes of malice.
A wealthy America can afford to turn desert into meadows.
Fundamental change.
Just the way the Feds like it - Hitler style tattlers
We all know who the tattletales would be, don’t we? In other states in other times they wore red bandanas or green uniforms or smart brown outfits. Today, they might drive a Prius or sit in a chair reading ‘The Nation’ at your local coffee shop. They are the real pod people. Don’t look to the skies - look to your left.
You flushed twice. Didn’t you? :)
Reducing water usage is step one in the Kabuki Two-Step. When water usage drops off, rate will rise to compensate the utilities for their loss of income. Those that snitch will not be able to make the Cause-Effect linkage and blame it on the “greedy” utilities while the politicians sneak out the back door.
The nazis were suitably noted for this.
“California Flooded With People Tattling on ‘Water Wasters’”
Turn these water wasters in:
“Pumping restrictions aimed at protecting Delta smelt have reduced deliveries to water agencies in the Central Valley, Southern California and San Francisco Bay Area”

They are flushing good water down the Sacramento River for a stupid bait fish.
If I lived there, I would compile a list of city employees, and especially elected officials.
The rest anyone can figure out.
I’ll bet some scammers could make a fortune by going into liberal neighborhoods, knocking on the doors of homes with green lawns, and offering to sell them “water credits”.
I say we turn in all the west L.A. libs.
The real outrage is that so many people willingly complied.
Can “tell us which one of your neighbors has a gun, reads the Bible, is acting strange”, be far behind?
The problem with America is there’s not enough Americans, if you get my meaning.
Man, I couldn’t handle summer without my Slip ‘n Slide.
