Linda Ronstadt, Jerry Brown, Jackson Browne and the Eagles

Gov. Jerry Brown’s plans for massive water tunnels have yet to win approval, but a report shows California already is planning to take up to 300 farms to acquire land for the project.
A 160-page report prepared by state contractors lays out plans to move rapidly to eminent domain to acquire land for two 30-mile-long tunnels.
The tunnels would help ferry water from Northern and Central California to Southern California. …

When we have Florida, Texas and Mexico, why do we need California?
Last one she did was some sort of saving of the cormorant birds on the Columbia the US Fish & Game was going to kill off with snipers. She's good at what she does.
Will farmers let this happen? Sounds almost “Stalinesque” to me...
..... Isn't that the same Northern and Central California that is on fire and in extreme drought right now? Those tunnels only solve an evaporation issue but not the water supply issue. There needs to be local and county solutions to the water supply problem such as collection and storage of water when it arrives and not just bringing it from other areas.
They are following the New York City model for upstate clean water. An original thought is new ground for a liberal.
Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown...
Those who helped to build CA are to now be cast aside as rubbish...their usefulness has all but disappeared.
I’ve been on the wrong end of that side of lawyering. It’s killing us. We were going to build a massive beverage manufacturing plant in the Seattle area and rail product as far east a Chicago and as far south as Mid Texas. The idea was to bottle product where the water was and send it to the places that don’t have water.
Got stopped by the enviro-wacko lawyers about five years ago. Look at CA right now. There’s a plant in Victorville, CA (essentially, the desert) that is using 650,000 gallons/day putting Dr. Pepper in bottles.
Oh, and rail uses less gas and puts less CO2 in the air than trucks do.
Didn’t matter. All that mattered was killing business. There’s a term for those type lawyers:
Watermelons - green on the outside, red (as in communist) on the inside.
The bureaucracy will takes ten times more land that it needs, then what resources aren’t devoured by the corruption will be dissipated by the incompetence. California will find a way to spend a million dollars gallon for any resulting output.

Weird picture. It looks like Rondstadt is sitting, but I don’t see a chair.
For this I am sorry. She’s going to get right very soon. I suspect as her needs change she will flip. She has common sense and a good head, it’s just that the best private law schools preach this stuff and that culture is tough to shake. At least at first.
Don’t sweat it. It was an education. I grew up with parents who were ‘honest’ liberals, in that they believed in the power of government to do good. Apollo, WWII, all of that.
You take environmentalists at face value, and you give them a plan that would revolutionize how all beverages would be made in the US - saving billions of gallons of water, hundreds of millions of gallons of gas, and reducing waste in the 1000’s of tons.
Scared the crap out of them. You find out they aren’t there to protect the environment. They are there to erect barriers to entry that government can’t. Just don’t want new business. That simple.
You can’t get that kind of education at a B-school.
Looks to me like she's 'fluffing' her dress.
I'll add a little insight into this group in the picture:
Linda wanted to go on tour but didn't have a band...she went to the LA Musical Union and selected a few guys and went on tour with them. After the tour, the guys she had hired decided to stay together and became the Eagles.(short version)
Now the (unknown/unaccomplished) Eagles moved into an apartment above then unknown Jackson Browne (who had no bathroom) and was awakened early each morning by Jackson's guitar playing and singing. They say he played the same song over and over only changing a word or a few chords here and there from time to time.
The Eagles had no experience at composing songs/music so....they just copied the style of Jackson Browne.
(And now, you know some more of the story)
Is that ugly woman all the way to the left Moonbeam’s wife now?
Good. I hope they starve sitting next to their pools.
And after El Nino (no, not El Chappo) cures the drought, they can use the tunnels for the bull*** train.

Many in South Dakota - hard to believe.
That’s a great idea, but so is clearing all of the beachfront properties for nuclear-powered desalinization plants.
