What hath NIMBY and the environmentalists wrought? – Updated
This blew my mind:
The last large reservoir in California was built in 1979. The environmentalists and millionaires have seen to that.
The environmentalists hate dams because of the impact on fish and the millionaires (and billionaires) don’t want to live near dams.
Consequently, the water storage capacity of the state has been massively outpaced by the population growth, while the Progressives who run the state build high-speed rails that nobody will ride on but themselves.
The result is working and middle-class Californians can’t take more than an 8-minute shower every other day.
The celebrities don’t have to worry because they can afford the fine. If you can afford a $20 million mansion with a Ferrari in the garage, you can afford the fines to cover your shower, laundry, swimming pool, and lush green lawn.
If this is anything, this is a ringing endorsement not to let anyone from California anywhere near a position of Federal power.
UPDATE:
The video has been memory-holed.
According to KTLA5: Correction: A video previously embedded in this post included factual errors about two laws going into effect in 2020 regarding water conservation. The clip has been removed.
This is bullshit.
Elsewhere on the internet, it was taken down through copyright enforcement. Even videos that were arguably fair use with added commentary.
The media lets all sorts of errors and factual inaccuracies let fly as long as they hurt Republicans.
It seems that the reporters having an on-air realization of just how tyrannical Gavin Newsom and the CA Democrat Monopoly have become, was too much honesty for the media to let be broadcast.
