California Or Ethiopia? "Families Dream Every Night About Water"
It's worst and getting worst-er. Hundreds of domestic wells in California's drought-parched Central Valley farming region have run dry, according to AP, leaving many residents to rely on donated bottles of drinking water to get by. With government set to regulate deeper drilling, hope is plunging that a solution to California's drought will come anytime soon as groundwater levels plunge. The stories of struggle are simply stunning, especially given they are coming from America with Governor Brown signing an executive order that provides money to buy drinking water for residents statewide whose wells have dried up. "We need water like we need air," exclaimed one charity leader trying to raise money for water tanks, "Families every night dream about water," said another. And ripped from the famine-headlines of East Africa, "every day [Californians] thinking about how they're going to deal with water."
Hundreds of domestic wells in California's drought-parched Central Valley farming region have run dry, leaving many residents to rely on donated bottles of drinking water to get by.
Girl Scouts have set up collection points while local charities are searching for money to install tanks next to homes. Officials truck in water for families in greatest need and put a large tank in front of the local firehouse for residents to fill up with water for bathing and flushing toilets.
"When you have water running in your house, everything is OK," said East Porterville resident Yolanda Serrato. "Once you don't have water, oh my goodness."
With California locked in its third year of drought and groundwater levels dropping, residents and farmers have been forced to drill deeper and deeper to find water. Lawmakers in Sacramento passed legislation to regulate groundwater pumping, which Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law this past week.
Three days later, Brown signed an executive order that provides money to buy drinking water for residents statewide whose wells have dried up, while also directing key state officials to work with counties and local agencies to find solutions for the shortages.
But the stories from the streets are shocking...
But many East Porterville residents, like Serrato, say all they want is to get a glass of water from the kitchen sink. Her well dried up nearly two months ago, she said, making life challenging for her husband and three children.
To bathe, they each have to fill a bucket from a 300-gallon tank in the front yard, carry it inside and pour water over their heads with a cup.
They've lived in their home for 21 years, she said. "It's not that easy to say, `Let's go someplace else.' "
In the meantime, charities have stepped up. Local schools, businesses and a religious group in Cincinnati, Ohio, donated water to the community.
Elva Beltran's Porterville Area Coordinating Council has provided 46 homes with 300-gallon tanks, which are filled each week. The group has pallets of donated bottled water and stacks of blue buckets waiting to be distributed.
Beltran said every day a new family comes in seeking help. "They're hurting," she said. "We need water like we need air."
A local bank donated $50,000 to Self-Help Enterprise, so the housing nonprofit can provide more homes with water tanks.
Community development program director Paul Boyer said people have been creative, using solar bags to heat water for bathing and putting tanks in trees to increase water pressure. Boyer said it will be more difficult when it turns cold this winter.
"Families every night dream about water," Boyer said. "Every day they're thinking about how they're going to deal with water."
The well belonging to Vickie Yorba, 94, dried up in February. She now relies on a donated water tank in front of her small home that she and her late husband bought 66 years ago. A neighbor with a deeper well ran a garden hose to Yorba's home.
She is proud of how sparingly she uses water, likening it to the little used during trips she and her husband took years ago to the mountains.
"It isn't hard," she said. "Not if you know how to camp."

'Tis gettin' serious folks.
Here's the rub.
Across most of Central, and Northern CA, water usage has declined by over 5% versus a year ago.
Down LA way, it's up over 10%
That's for swimming pools, lawns, car washes and wet tee shirt contests.
LA is your Favorite American Propaganda Mechanism and Solace of the uberliberal Progressive Left Wing Saul Alinsky type Community Organizers, aka Central Planners.
Grand job, fuckoffs
And they're doing that with water stolen from the Central Valley, etc., via the State/Federal canal system, and encouraged to do so by the politicians, buying votes.
Further, the Progressive Liberal Paradise of Other People's Money and Free Shit, Love and Diversity, et al., San Francisco, has not reduced water consumption one iota. In fact, the supply of water drawn from the mountains into SF has not been curtailed whatsoever. Now, wonder why?
Well, it's even been written about in some CA newspapers.
So when your food gets more expensive because of a drought, in part thank first your Politicians
Never let a crisis go to waste.
So did they ever get the bullet train completed?
That should help ;-)

Many Californians should move to Detroit. Lots of water there, and very very cheap houses/land.
it's not that easy to say, `Let's go someplace else.'

"And Many Will Die for Want of Water" by Nutnfancy (Water Storage for home prepping)
http://youtu.be/pcE5x3X6TQ4
Video description: This video is about the water storage you do not have. In 200 households interviewed in preparation for this TNP video, less than 5% have a adequate water supply in storage. Adequate means to me at least a 30 day supply for everyone under your roof. It is a frequently missed preparedness commodity, critical to your family's survival. Natural disasters, terrorist attacks, loss of electrical service, flooding, and war have destroyed previously reliable and safe to drink water supplies in our history. You need to store some, probably lots, independent external sources or filtering for your needs. With this in mind, the philosophy of this need is addressed in the foundation of this original Nutnfancy WROL video. Based on years of it working for our family, I then share how we approach water storage preparation. Additives, containers, filtration integration, water quality, quantities needed, and sourcing are all discussed and shown. I drink 7 year old water on camera to prove the point of our storage effectiveness. Please watch and heed the advice given as it may save your life one day.
"the Progressive Liberal Paradise of Other People's Money and Free Shit, Love and Diversity, et al., San Francisco, has not reduced water consumption one iota."
Spoken like a TeaParty Troll as he cashes his Kock Bros. check.
CA is made up of more land than 10 east coast states....of course, your education is about 4th grade, so use a "map".
There are as many or more, "micro-climates"....some much drier than others and susceptible to drought...
The rivers still flow...the ground water table still supplies vegetables to your DumbFuck Missouri state...not that you ever ate one, armchair pot belly....
The same reservoirs are the canary's in the coalmines as usual...and rain is just about to start...
Well Chicken Little...what will you say in a month?
More FEAR PORN????
Say something useful... tell us about how the uneducated are so great!
"There are as many or more, "micro-climates"....some much drier than others and susceptible to drought..."

Here's a uncomfortable fact for dumb libtards like Majestic12:
The liberal hypocrites in San Francisco must import all of their drinking water from the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir in Yosemite National Park which is hundreds of miles away:
http://www.sfwater.org/index.aspx?page=447
The liberal hypocrites in San Franciscans reduced their water consumption by the smallest percentage of all cities in Northern California:
http://www.mercurynews.com/drought/ci_26501731/california-drought-statew...
What else would you expect from the lazy, drugged and porned out Obozo free shit army in SF who are used to stealing from others?
Too many savages living around Dee-troit. If you decide to move there and become a settler, better take your guns and ammo.
Reverse immigration. The new guys will need to conquer the natives and establish civilization. The more things change....
"Reverse immigration."
It's the US...dork. Take your time...go to google and look up "immigration"....
Now go back to Before It's News...or Drudge...[yawn]
bring it, we can go shooting, on second thought since you in california allowed your
government to neuter you and destroy the second amendment, just stay where you are.
"bring it,"
Wow...great phrase....did you think of that one all by yourself???
You must be really "tough" ...talking about guns and all....
People better watch out....you're a tough guy....
Watch out, people....he said "bring it".....!
He/she...is a tough guy!
"better take your guns and ammo."
Yeah...because it WORKED SO FUCKING WELL IN THE "WILD, WILD, WEST".....
Entire "territories" begged the fucking Army to come in and "enforce" the law....not make more law...just "enforce" basic law.
So, what are you really advocating...that you and your butt buddies should be able to do what you fucking want???
And if anyone "gets in the way" of "their stuff" in "your hunting ground", they get killed???
Yeah, thought so...we need more "leaders" like you....oh wait....that's exactly what we fucking HAVE!!!!
"Many Californians should move to Detroit."
I bet they would if it weren't so close to Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky....Doiyaaawaaaahhhh?
Yeeee-haaaaa, you're fuckin' funny, Clunk!!!!
Now go fuck you sister and mother....again....
The only people who should get to stay in Ca. are 1: POT FARMERS 2: SURFERS 3: MOVIE INDUSTRY WORKERS , INCLUDING PORN ( Every kingdom needs royalty) 4: MEXICANS/CHICANOS and 5: INDIGENOUS TRIBES ( their option)
EVERYBODY ELSE IS A PRETEND CALIFORNIAN AND SHOULD GET THE FUCK OUT!

I work and live in both "NorCal" and in WA State, and let me tell you, the fucking people in CA need a Godzilla size fucking wake up call and comin to Jesus reality check.......so if water is it, let it be!!
Wow, Ken Curtis link to the side. Met him when I was 5 or 6, in OKC. Long, long ago.
OH! The Bullet Train!
OK, now the "folks" in Sacramento are raising funds with bond issues that the very raising of the funds it self, is in contravention of laws already passed and on the books.
Yes.
There were a whole host of pre-conditions that the voters passed that had to be met (environmental, etc) before the funds could be raised.
Instead, Sacramento is going ahead and floating the issues.
Which means that the bond issues themselves are not legally authorized!
CA Uber-Liberal Progressive Politics

You know, this state is run by women (and an effeminate governor). So again, I ask, what the fuck do you expect?
I am Chumbawamba.
You're right.
But acceptance does not mean approval.
yes because us men have done such a splendid fucking job, look around and reap the rewards moron. we're all the same, move on and help find some solutions instead of the same old lame fucking responses.
Congratulations on outing yourself as a feminized man.
Lol
Is that a new term now "feminized man"??
I don't know WTF that means exactly, but here's my scorecard.......
I like, love, and respect my wife (and daughter) and consider them equals, but I'd KO (or get KO'd trying) any motherfucker who disrespected either of them!
So you call that WTF you want too, "bro"!
Feminized man, also known as the beta male.
More and more of those around these days. It's seen on a couple of fronts: physiological (record low testosterone levels for an entire generation of Western men, an environment bathed in artificial estrogens, girls hitting puberty at 10 years old, record numbers of baby boys born with feminized genitalia, etc.), societal (the "sensitive" man, women's lib, stay at home house-husbands, male feminists, the rise of transgender and a pop culture/society that is generally turning gay).
Add in soy and high levels of estrogen in beef. Cheap garbage food does have an additional cost few see.
Look at estrogen levels of water downstream from feedlots ( hard to get such info, I am lucky to have a friend that does city water analysis). Unbelievably horrific. I'm so jaded now. Probably no one would care even if this were revealed.
Miffed;-)
I like to check in from time to time with the feminized-man-side of my brain. :o)
"I like, love, and respect my wife (and daughter) and consider them equals, but I'd KO (or get KO'd trying) any motherfucker who disrespected either of them!
If they were truly equals - you wouldn't have to defend them. They would be able to take care of themselves.
It is this type of illogical, blatantly absurd thinking that has landed us in our current predicament.
Fair enough!
You could start by cutting your balls off. That would ensure the world the safe from the threat that your offspring pose.
It was run by the most macho, pussy slaying he-man the world has ever seen and it wasn't any better. You fuckers would blame a space invasion on the other team. What a bunch of useless nonsense. Focus on the problem and possible solutions and stop the blame game.
Who is thinking of becoming your next president, BTW.
I would take Arnold over Lord Romney any day. At least Arnold was self-made and not some silver spoon cocksucker like Romney and Bush.
I agree, the "My Team" i.e. Republicans would have seen to it that this didn't happen is really a stretch of human dogmatic thinking. America is decaying under a fake two party system, but the common people are still fighting Democrat versus Republican. As if Bush did anything but start wars and bankrupt the financial system and borrow money, Now Obama is just as fucking bad. So, where does team blue or team red help in this?
As for political water? That takes it all the way into the Twilight Zone. A political drought?
Now, I might say I lived in SOuthern California for a few years when I was stationed there. It is my thought that perhaps California was never meant by nature to house 50+ million people! Anyone ever consider that growth exceeded climate and land use limits? It's to fucking big, If California was a state of 20 million tops, and had been for the last 30 years, I bet this drought would be coped with far easier.
And right now the weather still shows no signs of rain. The Pacific ocean is ripe with heat and moisture. But in the wrong places. The past climate of California showed frequent long term droughts, the growth happened in a very rare extreme wet period. Climatologists KNEW, KNEW VERY WELL, this wet period was a rare one time event in the scheme of human life spans. Yet they grew the state endlessly. Well, now you see the result.
And I dare say, team Republican or team Democrat are useless as tit on a bull.
And the population of CA is packed along the coast. A partial solution would be desalinization. It can be done in large plants or even black water tanks on roof tops. California has always had this wierd water politics. It's telling, though, that the large population centers are content to suck the rest of the state dry when they should build desalinization plants and charge their residents the cost. I do not think this will solve all the problems, especially if CA reverts back to a long-term dry period, but it would help. Instead, they are wasting their money on phoney Green initiatives like bullet trains, electric cars, and windmills. All of this money should be spent on building desalinization plants.
Other real problems with water will soon be Las Vegas and the entire desert South West. Also, we are rapidly depleting our great aquifers in the plains and south West. If we do not find solutions to these problems, there will be a lot of reverse migration back east.
"A partial solution would be desalinization."
Sure. Let them use a lot of water in the fracking process so that they can get all the natural gas to power the desalinization plants. Oh wait, there is no water. And there is no free lunch.
Desalinization is expensive. It takes a lot of electricity to push the water through the reverse osmosis filters. Also, the intake pipes get clogged up pretty quickly. Also, you have to pump the brine out somewhere, and that's going to kill some estuarial fishery capacity. Why not just live within your means? Where to keep complicated solutions? OFF YOUR PLANET!
They could capture the cooling water vapor from existing nuclear power plants and from turbine exhaust at fossile fuel plants, to begin with. This is how the navy makes fresh water for ships at sea. Yes, you have brine, and yes it's expensive, but so is giving up on LA, San Diego, etc. Look at all the value lost in a collapsed Detroit and Flint. There is indedd, no free lunch. Never said so because it is not required to state the obvious.
I don't know this group from Adam (they're German), but they've been around it seems 11 years and have an interesting description of recycling the sea brine: http://iestech.com/seawater-brine-recycling
"Climatologists KNEW, KNEW VERY WELL, this wet period was a rare one time event in the scheme of human life spans. Yet they grew the state endlessly."
You write as if the few thousand climatologists who ever studied prehistoric California were literally paying people to move there.
Even if all climatologists had gotten together to beg people to stay away, it would have made no difference whatsoever to anyone.
Because this is not a problem to be solved but a predicament to be coped with, it's all over but the cryin', but there is going to be an awful lot of cryin' from spoiled ignoramuses who can't fathom the powerlessness of man against climate.
"Experts" say what they're paid to say. Or, probably, the "experts" whose reports are adopted and "officialized" are the ones who say what they're paid to say. The others may be able to get the local newspaper to publish their letters to the editor every once in a while.
Las Vegas is having the same issues - ZH has been covering that also. Artificial city in the middle of the desert - bad idea from the get go..
It's the bitchez that'll getchaz! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1IbH7AHjJo&list=UUINpD3t4T3ljqSdRlcpdDEA
"I am Chumbawamba."
So, "I am Chumbawamba" means that you're a gay woman hater?
We all knew that you kidnapped and fucked little boys...and men...
Don't remind us.
So, they're going around a law, for something they cannot pay for outright (and deeper into debt) while they're running out of potable water...sounds about par for the course.
Maybe you guys should compromise with your wizards of smart overlords and approve a spur on this fantastical economic marvel mystery machine that runs due east over the mountains...lol.
Yeah, because which politician ever wants to deal with REAL problems and issues - perhaps the local councils, or the neighborhood associations - but then it becomes pure useless above that level...well, I guess counties aren't in armed conflict with each other as in the middle ages (how long can that last, especially if the fight is about water?) I know there's a secession movement in 8 (or more) counties in Northern CA..
Most of California is a desert folks. Get used to it, adjust accordingly, and quit whining!!!!
But...but...but, my lawn! And my pool! And my car is so dirty! I paid a lot of money for it.
-Chumblez.
Exactly. "I paid a lot of money for it... even though I never actually use it... and I don't give a damn about everybody else and everything else on the planet, because I am the center of the universe, and the sun, stars, and planets, and everyone and everything else revolve around me."
Southern California is a desert. You gotta get north to temperate rain forest for wet climate. I saw a TV program about High End LA Real Estate on cable TV. It's on weekly. They show aerial views of the upper class areas. And they are as green as a jungle! Big pools, big green lawns, all sorts of gardens and trees. And then you look in the distance to regular LA, and it is brown desert! Easy, the rich are buying the water they need to stay lush and green in the Hollywood Hills.
Before, in the early 1800's, when Spain ruled Southern California, it was desert. Just enough scrub grass to graze cattle on vast estates. Hides were the main economic element for shipment by sea to the East Coast USA. Hides only, because meat was perishable, and the cattle so lean from bad diet that locals themselves didn't get all that much fresh beef.
Nature will not be denied. Nor will the laws of physics. Politics, compared to nature and physics? No contest. Even "Saint Ronald Wilson Reagan" could not help California now.
Mexico rules Baja, and it is still a miserable desert. BTW the California water projects that store and redirect the water function according to the laws of physics 247/7 and 365. Leftist fucktards chose not to continue with that sort of very successful geoengineering decades ago, but wanted to give sanctuary to new democrat voters from the third world by the millions. So the state is less resilient to statistically predictable dry spells such as this one. But they want to spend 100billion on pretty, fast collectivist strikeable union built trains like the European central governments are able to impose.
Personally, I think deserts are beautiful. But I also think rivers and estuaries are beautiful, and I think that destroying beautiful rivers and the estuaries they feed, by damming them up and piping their water to megacities, is miserable. I think damming up a river and destroying it and its estuary is "liberal" and conserving that river and estuary is "conservative". P.S. I upvoted you.
They need fast transport to bring the water bottles back to their homes...
lol...next they'll be freaking out that the water bottles are made from plastic.
I'm long goat belly canteens! ;-)
You will live long and prosper.
But, synthetic goat bellies right?
-PETA
"I'm long goat belly canteens! ;-)"
Goats fart and cause global warming - sorry, that will nit fly in California either.
They need more illegal aliens and more bullet trains. For the money they wasted on the bullet train that will never be built - they could have run a water pipe from Washington state or Oregon. Preferably fresh highly radioactive water from Hanford in WA.
F the libs in Callie. They were having water issues 15 years ago and how many illegals have they let in since then? 5 million? 10 million?
Dude, please, the proper nomenclature is "uninsured drivers". It's not "illegal" until a jury of peers has convicted, or if the MSM or law enforcement bureaucracy declares some activity as being ungood. Then the persons assets can be seized so they can only afford a public defender to help with the dozens of life ending infractions the D.A. will throw at them unless they cop to the crimes the prosecution wants without a trial...on top of bye bye assets. But thus is only hypothetical regarding the, ah, undocumented out here. The bureaucracy is cool with that.
The rain will start in three weeks. My UN patented weather Model says so.
Forget that, they need a MONORAIL!!

In 2000 the population of California over the ensuing 20 years was to increase by 1 million residents per year. Carpetbaggers from every last shithole on earth have come here in the hopes of capturing some of the high tech dollars being bandied about like the silly paper or electronic blips that they are. Everyone then wants a fucking house and some water, and there ain't enough to go around, but they keep inviting these fucktards and they keep coming. Meanwhile, I'm guessing the places they are leaving behind have overflowing reservoirs and a life of peace and sanguinity, but they trade that away for a chance at some filthy dot.com lucre.
What the fuck does anyone fucking expect?
I am Chumbawamba.
Yo choom - all this drying and shrivelling up of life in that hellhole state is karmic reckoning for the idiotic, reckless policy making of libs bent on keeping dems in office. With any luck, all the illegals will die of thirst.
CA had major water shortages back around 1999 and 2000. I guess those 5 to 10 million illegals since then have helped.
I resemble that, but object to the particular neighborhood in Texas that I moved from being labeled a shithole. The school system sucked...all the big cities in TX except Fort Worth are Democrat owned zones that productive Americans eschew...but it was an island of well kept and well defended leafy suburbia where you could cultivate water sucking st Augustine grass without a smidgen of guilt.
Always the same problem: too many people. But patriots pump out superfluous posterity.
No shit Shirlock! I think you forgot to mention all the frigging golf courses in So Cal, you wouldn't believe what they consume and lose to evaporation. And what about all those damned new subdivisions down there! What about all the new illegal Mexican's? Where are they going to get water? Yet, us up in Northern Cal get fined if we wash our car and we DO have water, 23 inches last year. 3 in So Cal.
Go figure..
Yep... All true
Gotta love it, the way it works.
You get fined for washing your car, they wash away, wholesale.
With your (our) water.
The water board out here is fucked up.
You can't put an additional water spigot, shower-head, faucet, whatever into your house unless you buy or have "water credits"
The idea being that if you put them in you'll use the water.
Which makes no fucking sense at all.
If Mrs K wanted to remodel and put an extra sink in the bed room bath, she couldn't do it.
Even though it has nothing to do with how much water we'd use.
The number of people and their behavior is what uses water, FFS
Plus, we have a water authority out here that's been around for 30 years.
Their mission is to increase the supply of water.
They spend some $40 mm/yr on studies. And have yet to do anything. For 30 years.
Guess who's on the board and employed there?
Retired second dipping county politicians.
Scam
Fucking scam
I just wanna know why you would tell them that you had remodeled your bathroom in the first place. Far as I'm concerned, it's none of their goddamned business what I do with my home and property.
THIS IS THE WATER AUTHORITY! DROP THE HOSE, AND MOVE AWAY FROM THE CAR!
THIS IS THE WATER AUTHORITY! VE HAFF STUDIED YOUR VATER USE UND oops WE MUST NOW PAINT A VATER DROP oops ON YOUR FRONT DOOR. YOU MUST ALSO VEAR A VATER DROP oops CARD AROUND YOUR NECK AT ALL TIMES!
The real reason, of course, is to make sure the people get the water who have ALREADY paid for the water - with six-figure campaign contributions. And you really should try their bottled water; it's delicious! :-)
Yeah, dollar,,,and the Klamath River is raging now, with the new flows added for the fall salmon run.
Go figure even more.
They can have my Shit when they pry it out of my cold dead hands. :0)
Last month's sewer bill: $39.00. What eez thees FREE shit? :0)
I heard scientists discovered that there are ten times as many shit molecules in our body as there are human molecules. Maybe THAT'S the Free Shit.

Maybe I'll rename myself Free Shit. :o)

Me as a proud European always said that most part of America looks like a third world country.
Sorry.
Once you exclude the cities run by liberals that have been run into the ground and have high crime with no way to protect yourself, America is beautiful.
That's right Europeans, head on over to see the splendor that is Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama and Kentucky.
well they DO have some fucking water there at least, now don't they?
Do go fuck yourself. Cities in America haven't been safer in decades and are more livable and enjoyable than they've ever been. Feel free to bring up the notable exceptions - Detroit and Chicago.
Another dumbass conservative/liberal sound-bite lemming.
You forgot Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia (Philthydelphia?), Cleveland, New Orleans, Jacksonville, etc.
Now that the cops only take a report for a homicide or equivalent, due to layoffs. Yah, the stats look great now...
You forgot Lost Angeles and most of Kalifornia
Yeah, because Greece, Spain, Italy, and Eastern Europe are all so amazingly wealthy.
Don't be sorry... it's true... and I'm an American.
Oh, and we'll soon look like a 4th world country, but with the world's biggest military to protect all this beauty and wealth!!!!
Europe -looks- first world. Looks.
...most part of America looks like a third world country.
Oh - a lot of "it don't" look that good. Much of Amerika, thanks to Obama, is aspiting to be fourth world (whatever the f that is - I guess like Zimbabwe).
Third world would be an improvement for Detroit, Camden NJ, Baltimore, east St. Louis and a bunch more hell holes.
You are so right. I almost bought a house in Detroit. But then Clinton took over and it went to shit. Then I almost moved to Baltimore during the Bush years when it was beautiful, but then that asshole Obama came in and ruined it! Damn liberals!
Spain? Honestly, it's dry, can't grow shit, hasn't meant dick-all to the world stage since what, 1898 or so? Spain is just Mexico east. Fuck, you even speak their language and sleep away half the fucking work day, just like they do!
Now school me some more about 3rd world piss-tubes of countries, please.
You've clearly, CLEARLY never been to Spain.
Go ahead and keep your "world stage" importance where young men go into the meat grinder.

p.s. your soccer, sorry, "futbol" team sucks, too.
Nothing gets miserable brown peoples riled up like making fun of their girly national pastimes.
Soccer: the original "everyone wins" sport.
America does look like a third world country to Americans too. NYC- what a fucking piece of shit. I've had the pleasure of seeing that shit hole several times over the last 5-6 years. I ALWAYS try to go to my meeting and fly the fuck out the same day. The hotels are free and I can stay anywhere. I get the fuck out, can't stand it. Those rude accents are annoying as hell too.
Chicago is awesome. Love the mid-western people. Southside Chicago is a no-go zone. Anywhere in the South (except Florida) is great. Friendly people and beautiful scenery. Texas is hit or miss. Dallas great, Houston just okay. West of the Mississippi and I'm not a fan.
Yea, but those three Criminal Treasonist Cunts Pelosi, Boxer & Feinstein will be just fine.
That bitch Feinstein would send her armed bodyguards to take your available water for herself if ever the need arose, and confiscate your legally owned firearms to boot
And fuck the Fed!

Fuck those pansy assed slaves.
No fucking beaurocrat could ever tell me how deep I could drill a well on my own land.
There'd be some spent .308 casings on my window ledge for sure.
Stop drilling... are you stupid or what? You need start demanding from your government to fucking stop growing rice and marijuana in desert first. You are doing stupid thing after another stupid things and than ask - why all are so bad?
Don't forget the 10 million illegals.
"I'm long goat belly canteens! ;-)"
And a pool of your blood on the floor below. Talk the talk, but walk the walk at your own peril.
Not saying it's right the some bureaucrat tells you how deep you can drill, or much your toilet can flush, etc., but it is what it is, and I assure you they have more guns and ammo than you.
These droughts are all over the globe.
I've seen them in India, Nepal, Cambodja, Laos, Thailand, China, Marokko, Australia, Egypt, and yes America.
Everywhere, waterlevels are down bigtime. And those are only the countries where I've seen it myself.
And the worst is always where the people are concentrated.
Driest September for 60 years in UK
Oh no! Well, you better move somewhere where it hasn't been the driest Sept in 60 years. The world most surely be ending!!!
Same here in Belgium, most of the trees have already lost their leaves because of it.
But I guess we can't really complain :)
Didn't Obama claim that the seas would stop rising if he were elected back in 2008? Perhaps he just got carried away and didn't know when to stop.
Very valid point. Please send him a note of reminder.
I have a theory that fracking is causing the water tables to drain lower into the earth. You only have to put one hole in a bowl for the seeping to start. That is not all of the problem in California or anywhere else. But the sink holes popping up everywhere are what concern me.
Edit: Make that a hypothesis.
Florida had sink holes before fracking. Maybe it isn't the stuff being pumped into the ground that is the problem but the stuff that is being pumped out?
Along California's Central Coast, it's the vineyards that use well water for irrigation that has caused the water levels to drop dramatically.

This is something that the Liberals cant do anything about...its mother nature...but they cant wash their electric cars....
But while they can't do anything about it, they're very good at manufacturing bullshit stories about solving it, raising taxes and curtailing freedoms, etc....

You don't believe in Climate Change, they want to send you to the Camps
I won't go to the freedom camps. History has shown again, and again, and again what happens to those that are removed from their house and sent elsewhere. I love my family too much to see them die of starvation or mass grave. Rig the house for pyrotechnics and already be far away if they come to your neck of the woods.
CO2 emissions will be cut over 50%, if all liberals would just stop breathing.
Where does the donated water come from?
from new taxes
lol
You can buy anything now but at what cost>
Everyone knows that higher taxes = cooler temperatures! Come on guys, this is 1st grade stuff!! - Biden
Meanwhile, dumbfucks are doing that ice bucket challenge all over the state. Save water, idiots. Just donate the damn money.
Ice bucket challenge must really piss off the Ayrabs.
California? Well well well, it all must be George Bushes fault.
Well well well, what do we have here? Three dry fucking wells with no water in them.
Little Houses on the Prairie
Far too many humans, especially invaders - just reduce the human population by 90% and there will be plenty of water for those remaining.
Too many coincidences to think that plan is already not underway.
And one of the more far out indica...
http://beforeitsnews.com/conspiracy-theories/2014/09/2014-added-to-the-g...
Well if the plan is already underway, they're doing a really lousy job of implementing it!
You'll have to submit that complaint in triplicate, sir.
You and yours should be the first to volunteer. Thanks in advance.
I a few thousand years the Georgia guidestones may be rediscovered... as boat anchors.
I suppose this gives new meaning to the phrase -- "The Great Unwashed"?
Geez, throttle back the hype. One town has 46 homes without water in a state of 30 million. Proportionality is your friend.
I still see lawn sprinklers running. Can't be too bad.
One word: desalinization
And know what some people say about that when told it's the only way out?
De-sal is too expensive
OK
Fucking die .... Jesus, where do some of these people come from?
What planet?
Oh yeah, the Reptilians
It IS too expensive. In terms of energy. Which energy comes from oil or nukes. Take your pick.
Just like all resources, the wisest course of action when they start to run out is to USE LESS!!!
Even if you are exceptional...
Fuck California and all who live there. Sorry, it's the fucking desert moron.
