Dems In California Take 300 Billion Gallons Or Water Away From Farmers In A Drought, To Protect A Fish...

Looks like old news that came out BEFORE the EXTREME drought you are now experiencing.

The fish California needs to be frying is the weather manipulation that has stalled the high pressure system off the coast for months until very recently.

I wouldn't worry about the farmers. This drought is coming to your house.

[link to naturalresources.house.gov]
•California’s water storage and transportation system designed by federal and state governments includes 1,200 miles of canals and nearly 50 reservoirs that provide water to about 22 million people and irrigate about four million acres of land throughout the state.

•In May 2007, a Federal District Court Judge ruled that increased amounts of water had to be re-allocated towards protecting the Delta smelt – a three-inch fish on the Endangered Species List.

•Because of this ruling, in 2009 and 2010 more than 300 billion gallons (or 1 million acre-feet) of water were diverted away from farmers in the Central Valley and into the San Francisco Bay – eventually going out into the Pacific Ocean.

Is Nestle backing this?

Yo shill I bet you are against this

Sorry, this situation is not about fish, liberals, conservatives, environment, or anything else.

It's about Malignant Psychopaths -Vs- Science, Statistics, Historical Records, and unregulated, profit oriented, growth or "Blastoma".

It was an old ruling..

But recently they tried to allow some farmers to use the water and the dems wouldn't allow it.

That's the new part to the story.

I bet all the mansions in Hollywood hills will still have nice green lawns!

I just have one question to ask you:

Where do you think the food you eat comes from?

The grocery store.... Right....

It's not about the right to farm, it is about the need to provide food for the citizens of the US.

Out there, you say. That tells me you are posting from the other side of the country, and know little about the true state of things out here.


You bitch about manufacturing and farming. Well, your misguided policies have sent manufacturing packing, and I warn you, that if you do the same with farming, that you, your friends, your neighbors, your employeer and your family will suffer.

Our food supply is nothing to be trifled with.

But people like you will trifle with it anyway.

If only I could see your face as food price triple again...

Isn't January the "watershed" month for CA? When you're out of water I'm pretty sure the fish are the first ones to get rationed. After that, I guess it's up to the legislators or gov to see who gets rationed next, farmers or households or both. I doubt it's really about the fish anymore ... good luck !!

Could they not just put these fishes in an aquarium until the drought is over? Then you have win-win, lil fish survives and the crops can grow.

Well green lawns are more important than crops.
Don't you know as some people say on this forum you can live on just air and sunlight ;)

Someone should go take pictures of all the Californian politicians lawns after this. I bet they are all nice and green and will continue to be that way.

Any sane individual who chooses to remain in socialist
states such as California or the northeast deserves
whatever they get.

I don't feel a bit sorry for them.

It is not like there is a Berlin Wall they have to scale
to escape. Vote with your feet, like I did and take all
of your wealth and experience to a free state.
By staying you are SUPPORTING brain-dead left-wing
insanity.

Good all farmers in CA are either mobbed up old italian families or giant agra- neither of which should get welfare water on taxpayers dimes- fuck'em abd let'em rot

THIS IS THE GOOD PART OF AGenda 21 my neegas! Rejoice!

That's lies because it's the Federal Governmet causing it.

The State Water Project and the federal Central Valley Project have been operating under pumping restrictions since December, when federal agencies ordered curtailments after 90 smelt were entrained at pumps in the South Delta. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ordered further restrictions on Feb. 8 as the number of smelt salvaged at the pumps approached the number allowed as incidental “take” by the projects’ operations.

State "Dems" have not a fucking thing to do about it.

Dems are all Bolsheviks now.
Gonna get ugly.

Escape from what?
I'll give you 80k reasons why I stay.

Extremely rural lifestyle, more than most on GLP.

Fifteen year house, $1150 mo. payment.

Generally prepped, not fanatical about it.

I vote conservative, Yet, you and I both know that doesn't amount to much in Cali.


Here for now and hunkered down!

You're not thinking.

Either through consent or cooperation, all the People deserve what is happening.

Far too many tatted up useless eaters in the world that only care about themselves, when the EBT card reloads and what's on the next episode of Real Trash of Beverly Hills, Swamp Trash, Dancing with Trash or Keeping up with Trash. Useless eaters that can't even provide for themselves let alone their children that other tax paying citizens must provide for. Useless eaters that would rather sit on their asses smoking a bowl than grow up, give it up and get a real job.

Having said that, we did steal land, er, relocate Native Americans, is this not an option to even look at?

I certainly don't want to go back to the days of lynching or tar and feathers, but it seems like it got the voters of yore a lot a more respect from their representatives.

That first sentence it's a huge sign you're waving that says "I know nothing about the topic at hand"

It is blatantly false.

come on down to Texas.
Conservative voters here just approved prop 6.
Which was a two billion dollar project to make sure Texas residents have water.
We approved it because it comes out of the state "slush" fund. We will be able to basically guarantee our water supply for the next 50 years after research is done.

We were able to do this because we are a Red State with fiscal responsibility.

We don't have to worry about our water being used to save a few fucking fish.

you live in a fucking desert..... get used to it....or get your own water like the settlers used too

water is more precious than gold...no water=no life

LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER.

Yes, yes it is.

I'm sure the fish is happy about it.

Fish don't smile

It makes sense to me.
