California needs a enema.

Similar to New York state. The farm land I was on had an old hand dug well next to the house. We never used it for drinking, bathing or washing clothes since we had "safer" water from the county. Then my parents decided to use the well water to water the garden and wash our cars. The county noticed our sudden drop in water usage. THREE men came to my parents and asked why. My parents informed them that we were using well water to water the garden and wash the cars. My parents were told to REMOVE ALL PLUMBING TO THE WELL and use county water ONLY or go to JAIL!!!!! County did not want to lose a penny of revenue (yes the water was taxed also). Had to "buy" the county's water then pay state and county sales tax on top of that. They did not want my parents to set a precedent.

When my parents bought the house it was originally built with a way to collect rain water from the roof and stored in a concrete chamber in the cellar. It would /could hold a few hundred gallons of rain water. My parents removed that system when the house needed a new roof and went with regular gutters. Only the chamber remains.

How would California even enforce such a STUPID law? People all over the world have been using rain water for centuries. What is California's rational for that law? Public health concerns? That's funny when there are used needles and fecal matter on the streets and sidewalks.

 

They are lucky to still be in a drought. That way those electric cars would still be able to run. Actually, I'm wondering if those people who bought an electric vehicle are rethinking that purchase? Electricity and water don't go well together and it's worse with salt water.

A story I was told when taking a CPR class. Paramedics arrived at the scene of a collapsed man. Raining and the ground was wet. When they tried to shock the patient, the EMTs where kneeling on the wet ground. ALL were shocked. TWO more EMT crews were called to take care of the patient AND the first EMT crew. All water conducts electricity, salt water does it better.

 

That's a California sand storm, it's so dry!

 

Its not because of the "eco-freaks" but because of corporate freaks destroying the environment. But sure, blame those that have nothing to do with it

 

Both extremes ARE to blame!

 

What about New California ???
You didn't include it.

 

Yes it is the eco-freaks.
They did whatever they could to stop all preventive measures for flooding because it MAY upset the "natural" environment.

Sure! Save a few minnows at the expense of hundreds, if not thousands, of human lives.

It is lke you (they) put the lives of a thousand minnows over the lives of a thousand people.

What the hell. The 'ecoists' say that there are too many people anyway.

 

Hahahaha
Yeah, sure. It us totally that, yeah, of course. But you forgot the Hollow Earth Jewish Nazi Empire, they were there too

 

Better yet, explain where the numbers come from.

 

Here in New York state our governor wants to link minimum wage to inflation. Higher the inflation then the higher the minimum wage. Where did she get her education about economics. Shit-For-Brains university? Did she take Economics -101? That's below normal intelligence. All she wants to do is get re-elected and has no clue what she is doing. Her plan WILL increase inflation in a spiral upward trend and negate any positive effects of increased pay. She is a good POLITICIAN but a really SHITTY governor.

 

Working on the family business (farm) for no pay gave me the incentive to get a degree that I can get a job and make money. Angered my parents when I told them I did not want to take over the business.
