15 billion to union workers. They will shut up the opposition by hook or crook
Much like NYC and DeBlasio, California got the government they deserved.
This water fight is to protect to cash cows to greedy politicians in Sacramento.
Most of the use and outright waste of water is not due to human consumers. The water goes to two specific cash crops that Californians receive little benefit for and are responsible for the water shortage in the state. Billions of gallons of water go to grow Almonds and Alfalfa.
The vast majority of the almonds are sold to Asia. The alfalfa is sold to Saudi Arabia to feed their camels and race horses. To cover for the use of the water, the politicians who have been bought and paid for blow a lot of smoke about conservation, force cities to pay huge fines for their everyday human use of water and now are pushing rationing.
Even if humans cut their own use of water in the state by 25%, it would amount to less than 3% of the state's water use. This is a huge SCAM.
