A new report shows that a growing number of people think that the drought in California is part of a government conspiracy.
Not even plausible. Unless the government conspirators were trying to flood the place.

…I think they’re confusing conspiracy with incompetence. Although the California state government is largely responsible for the current drought, it is not due to a concerted effort to cause drought conditions, it’s due to a complete failure to manage their water resources, build reservoirs to retain water when it is abundant, and finally to drain all their current reserves to comply with an idiotic environmental regulation which puts a small population of 1/2″ long fish ahead of every California resident. Even now, rather than doing something constructive that could address the problem and prevent it from happening again, the California legislature chooses to simply punish people for using water.
. . . what blarg said. When a snail darter dies, Gaia cries. F*ck you and your earth-raping suburban lawn and your obscene three-spigot shower and your ancient 3-gallon toilet. You can be dirty and smelly just like us hippies, who love mother earth and demonstrate it by growing compost right on our vegan-fueled bodies.
Water Bills Will Creep Up Next Year In L.A. Because We’ve Conserved So Much
LA Times | 10/21/15 | Matt Stevens and Alice Walton
Under orders to slash their water use in the fourth year of a statewide drought, Los Angeles residents and businesses have largely risen to the challenge.
But this week, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power officials said that because its customers have done such a good job saving, the agency is short on revenue.
To help fill in the gap, the Board of Water and Power Commissioners approved a pass-through charge that will require an average customer to pay about $1.80 more a month, beginning in 2016.
The 18 billion gallons of unsold water left the utility about $57 million in the hole. Officials say they need that money — about $380 million in total — to cover “fixed costs” such as pipe repairs, aqueduct maintenance and continued operation of water-treatment facilities. A city ordinance allows the utility to recover those costs from customers using a so-called water revenue adjustment factor.
Ah -hah – hah – hah!

That’s not a conspiracy, that’s liberalism.

Conspiracy of assininity, I guess.
Well, when you see the dust bowl that the feds created in the central valley, it’s small wonder that people suspect the government.
