“Ha! We already control how they breathe. Breathe — can you believe it? And their medical care. And their protection before the law. And how they communicate. And their electricity and gasoline. Oh, and their income, mobility, death taxes, school choice, and voting. So what’s the next step?”
Federal Government Drastically Cuts Water Deliveries to California Cities, Farms
SF Gate | May 26, 2021 | Amy GraffIn a drastic move signaling California’s looming drought crisis, federal water managers announced Wednesday they’re cutting water allocations to farms and cities again.
The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, which supplies water in California through the Central Valley Project, said it expects to cut its delivery to the urban areas it serves by more than half, allocating 25% of the contracted amount rather than the 55% that was announced earlier.
Water districts in the San Francisco Bay Area that have contracts with the Central Valley Project and are affected by the cut.
The federal government also announced that their water allocations to farm-irrigation districts in the Central Valley will be reduced to zero. In February, the bureau allocated farmers 5% of their contract supply.
All that remains is a tax on “thingy.”

This is an outrage and must not be allowed to stand. We must do something! We must go to the barra… wait. What? It’s California getting screwed?
Nevermind.
Schmucks in CA during Moonbeam’s last year in office passed a water bond issue to “allow for the expansion of existing reservoirs, and the construction of new ones” I knew there was no way. environmentalists in the early 60’s shut down existing reservoir projects, before the environmental movement really got started. Imagine my shock in learning that most of the money was going to environmental research, almost none to drought prevention. Imagine that- a Democrat politician lying. What’s the world coming to?
One would think that even California environmentalists get thirsty on occasion.
As long as the electric trucks carrying Acqua di Cristallo Tributo a Modigliani arrive on schedule why should they care?
And people say Californians are all wet…
Forget it Jake…it’s California.
