grandma Loc: U.S.A.

The US government is refusing to send water to California farmers amid the third year of severe drought in the state but is using the water to protect an endangered fish.

The majority of US fruits, nuts, and vegetables are grown in the region.

Ernest Conant, regional director for the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation issued a statement about their refusal on Wednesday.
“It’s devastating to the agricultural economy and to those people that rely on it,” Conant said. “But unfortunately we can’t make it rain.”

The Westlands Water District said in a release this was the fourth time in the last decade that south of Delta irrigation contractors received no allocation, according to a report from The Hill.

“Within Westlands, the continued drought conditions in 2021 resulted in over 200,000 acres fallowed, countless lost jobs, and thousands of acres of food unharvested,” the district said. “The circumstances in 2021 and those facing us in 2022 demonstrate the need invest in infrastructure to better manage the State’s water resources.”

Much of the water available is currently allocated to the San Joaquin-Sacramento River Delta, a sensitive environmental region home to endangered species of fish, due to a state law protecting them.

“Despite that, endangered species of fish — including salmon — have been dying by the thousands because there hasn’t been enough cold water for them to survive,” the Associated Press reports. “In a news release, the Westlands Water District said it was disappointed with the allocation but understood the drought and environmental laws ‘prevent Reclamation from making water available under the District’s contract.'”

Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a drought emergency last year. Over 37 million people in the state are currently effected.

This is the play book for democrats. create a crisis then make people pay for a band-aided cure to make more money.
Don't pipe in water from the Pacific Ocean to desalinization plants.
Don't let the farmers drill their own water wells without restrictions.
Don't have a conversation about the weather modification programs all over the W.Coast.

Who care about a few fish? The biblical idea of being good stewards of the planet is dumb. And who gives a dam about future generations?

What is dumb is getting into this mess in the first place. C*****e c****e can be ignored but it that will not change reality.

What is dumb is thinking that we (America) can significantly alter anything.

The wise move would be to do what humans do best: adapt and innovate.

That is not the republican way. Republicans are against change.
It is Democrats that want to adapt and innovate. As far as republicans are concerned c*****e c****e is a h**x. No change required. Just keep on pumping water till it is gone. And then big agricultural and wealth shareholders get subsidized for lost income.

There is no way we will ever run out of water.Desalination plants will take care of that or other innovations ( we are in the 21st century you know). This is bulls**t people need to eat.Control that's what this is about and to feel virtuous.

If you will believe it they will print it. Doesn’t make it true. I doubt you would believe facts if they are not presented to you on a Trump approved site.

Think - what you said "If you will believe it they will print it". does not make sense. The Post is a well respected publication. Marxists do not like it because the paper tells the t***h. It does not worry about anyone believing what they are printing. Also, Trump again? Why? Why the obsession with Trump? Are you a marxist and that is why you do not approve of all the good things he did as president. And no, I am not a Trumpy. There are some thing he did and did not do that I do not approve of. Do you like the way our country is becoming a third world one? Bet you do.
Hope you and the rest of us can survive it.
