How much longer will it take to realize that the government is California's enemy? Further, California's government and the central socialist government is the enemy of all American people.

Here goes the price of fresh produce.

" The world simply does not have enough fresh water left at this point, and that is why water is being called “the new oil”. The following comes from CBS News…"

NASA, "Earth Science Program at UC-Irvine", and CBS news aren't exactly what I'd call unbiased toward a certain agenda...

Now granted California does have an issue pertaining to water. Agriculture IS important there, and California IS where (maybe?) most of America's fresh produce comes from because of the fertile, productive San Fernando valley.

Just flat-assed coming out and saying that "the world doesn't have enough fresh water" is just over the top... like someone's trying to sell fear.

Maybe, MAYBE, California doesn't have enough fresh water. Plenty of water here in my part of the world. Yes there is a certain neighboring state trying to get their mitts on some of it.

Maybe California could go buy some water somewhere else, like Oregon or Washington. There are these things called "pipelines", or "aquaducts". Also maybe they could decrease the number of people who are illegally consuming water there, that is to say being there illegally in the first place and consuming water at the same time.

Also it might help to ax some questions about the differing methods used for agricultural irrigation there, with some Israeli help...

Why provoke hysteria, "the world doesn't have enough fresh water left..."

That ain't gonna sell.

$100 billion plus for a train to nowhere.

Not a nickel to build reservoirs. Flushing billions of gallons of fresh water into the ocean because of a minnow. No wonder there is no water

[PIF]

What about all the water that used to irrigate the San Joaquin Valley farms now running freely into the ocean? The minnows are safe, the farms are desert, the vast amounts of produce grown on the farms an historical footnote to Progressivism.

What they need to do is build a moderately faster railroad. This will take all their money, so it had better fix the water problem quickly.

I have been bringing this up for years as to the fact that we allow thousands of Mexicans a month to pour into California with no regard to water usage.

[CodeToad]

California only became the fruitbasket because farmers wanted to take advantage of cheap labor from Mexico.

We can grow fruit in other places that have water instead.

Kali, fruits and nuts, and I ain’t talking about the produce.
