For a couple of years leading up to 2014, the state of California experienced yet another of its periodic droughts, though that one was particularly bad. It reached the point where people were tearing out their lawns and replacing them with ornamental rock gardens because everyone was forbidden from watering their grass. That drought eventually eased off and the seasonal rains returned, but now the state is facing yet another drought, potentially worse than the last one. Reservoirs are running dry and rivers have been drained to the lowest levels seen in living memory as wildfires tear through several parts of the state.One fact about that previous drought cycle that hasn’t drawn much media coverage is now coming back to bite state officials in the backside. It turns out that the voters took action in 2014, approving the appropriation of billions of dollars to create new water storage projects to prevent that crisis from repeating itself. That sounded like a smart move since the next drought was obviously going to hit them sooner or later. But seven years later, not a single new project has been completed and they’re right back where they were the last time the water ran dry.
Screw Cali. Seriously.The loons have no idea how quickly we in the Midwest would let China have them in exchange for cancelling our debt to them, if it weren't for the obvious nat'l security issues.
