Drought and the world is ending
So I get the little card in the mail. WARNING we will control your water use. You WILL comply. We can't WAIT to fine you. Jerry Brown all in a tizzy because he couldn't charge tiered water rates based on use, and because he couldn't impose martial law and send in legions of national guard with stopwatches to monitor shower length and immediately arrest everyone who didn't lug buckets into the shower to catch soapy water.
Look, I'm no global warming denier. I don't need to get into temperature and data arguments. It seems like a pretty good idea to regulate the amount of crap we pump into the air and water. No problem with that. But droughts come at regular intervals. This drought is a normal drought--see the gov website below. We should expect them. We should PREPARE for them.
So we have rolling electricity blackouts in the summer and now I'm not supposed to wash my car or water my lawn.
I do my part, Jerry. I work every day, either big company work or writing work, and pay my taxes so you can employ a massive amount of people who help you promote your socialist/communist policies (look up the quote: "...extracted disproportionately from the national wealth" . . . Lenin would have blushed).
How about you do your part? We haven't built waterworks since the 1960s? Build some freaking reservoirs and dams. I'd like 11% more water to get us through the dry seasons. We don't need your $100+Billion bullshit train. We need water. We need power. Do your job and I'll do mine.
