CARBs and rice.

Funny.

Unelected, unanswerable to anyone, democracy at its worse.

"But reducing the period of standing water may undermine the quality of the California rice and might be deadly to the migratory birds that now rely on the flooded rice fields as a wetland."

"Free Range Rice! It tastes better, and it's healthy for you!" [See what western interests did to beef.]

If nothing else, state Cap N Tax in California is going to be a perfect laboratory for proving the idea is a bloody disaster.

BTW that doesn’t mean it won’t happen nationally someday...

CARB and the Coastal Commission are populated by the worst kind of gestapo thug. If you ever knew a little fat kid that no one liked in high school you will find them in the CARB and Coastal Commission boards of California enacting their revenge on people they hate. And they hate everyone, except of course the liberals in Malibu. When I was broke many moons ago I worked construction cleanup in the Los Angeles area. One house was in Ventura on the beach. The coastal commision thugs came over several times complaining about everything. One day, they came out and approved the pitch of a roof. The roof was completed as approved and designed. The same jerk offs in the Coastal Commission came back later and said they don’t approve the roof. SO, A cran was rented at significant cost, the beams were all cut 3 inches shorter, and the roof nailed back together.

CARB pulls other silly things like this all the time. I was a welder in college and there was a paint pit for dipping finished parts. The process was approved by the CARB nazis only to be disapproved a few months later. It required a new enclosure with extremely expensive air filtration for water based paint.

Anyone who moves a company to California better know the right people or they want to commit business suicide.
