#1 Like Newsom gives a rat's ass.

#2 However there is plenty of water for the settlers to water their nice Kentucky blue grass lawns in the damn desert that was and is California. The same Gaia worshiping clowns who obstruct cutting trees and debris from near power lines seem rather quiet about mandating xeriscaping within a state that is wild about mandating nearly everything else.

#5 I have noticed that the media has given up on pictures of Joe Bidet snarfing a cone. I'd imagine even that is polling badly for him these days.

"$2.7 billion bond fund to build water reservoirs sits idle in California

August 16, 2021·

It’s been seven years since drought-wracked California raked in $2.7 billion in bond funds that promised construction of reservoirs to capture excess water runoff during winters.

The money is sitting in a bank account without a single shovel of dirt overturned to begin construction of eight above-ground water holding facilities. Meanwhile, governors and local politicians over the years have called for urban water cutbacks and even rationing for farmers who have watched crops wither and die due to decreased water supply.

All of this is due to the state’s bureaucratic controls that cause major construction projects to take decades to complete.

“That money is held up because of environmental permitting,” Meanwhile, not one gallon of water has been placed in above-ground storage pursuant to this bond measure.”

#9 Keep building those apartments and condos all over the place, Gavin. We need to make this state affordable for the homeless freaks and illegal aliens. Don't worry about the crops...er, well, keep some water for your own vineyard.

#10 Roman hydraulic engineers would tell you "Build cisterns, many cisterns!, and catch the falling rain and let nothing escape to the sea!"

But no, that is too unfathomable for Governor Newsom -- we need to ration, ration, Ration! which in practice that only the wealthy get water and the poor suffer from thirst ...besides we need the money for graft on High-Speed Rail and other boondoggles.

#11 California's mountains get feet of snow in the winter. A plan to catch the melt would solve most of the west coast's water needs. Think. California could sell water (they need the revenue). Instead they let it go into the sea. Snail Darter is happy anyway.
