    If California expands water storage at the taxpayers' expense they'll give it to private entities who'll sell it to the taxpayers. If there's any not being used to water Wonderful Pistachios.

    I tend to observe a lot in meetings to gauge whether or not it makes sense to opine on things. This is one of those times I feel like y’all have it all covered from every angle. So I’m just gonna stay out and hope everyone is relatively ok. Tragic and horrid images being posted. Really wild stuff.

    now y’all can carry on.

    Add Avocados to the list of crops we should ban, another one with a huge appetite for aqua. They are nothing but green turds.

    8 billion people.

    Anyone *EVER* stop to think that the ability to supply resources to that many mouth-breathing is getting a little strained?

    Fuck, we’re a stupid species.

    This is the problem, plain and simple, too many people!
    There were too many when I left there for good when I was 22 back in 1981.
    We need a good pandemic.

    Nawww.... plenty of room for more people.

    The entire world's population could fit in the state of Texas if NYC population density.

    Here's an interesting graphic. They seem to be able to figure out how to sustain themselves for the most part in Asia.

    Maybe we should ship them some more plywood so they can stuff another dozen people into 60 square feet.

    That stuff is disappearing rapidly. Aside from India and Bangladesh, the big cities in Asia far surpass the western world in terms of cleanliness, affordable services and products, architecture, amenities, infrastructure, etc.

    That stuff is where all the resources to feed those clean, affordable Asian cities residents come from.

    Where will the food be grown and raised once the slums are gentrified?

    This is as stupid as the global warming fallacy.

    The food shortage crisis has been around as long as I can remeber. Yet here we are.

    The world is ending tomorrow tho. I'm sure of it.

    That’s kinda funny.

    Considering the global warming scammers use the heat island effect of urbanization to bolster their arguments.

    The funny thing is it CERTAINLY COULD be ending tomorrow and we'd be blind to it. The scientists are only allowed to demonize humans for using petroleum and this is equated with "Climate Change" while the things that actually DO affect our climate are ignored. "Climate Change" being equated with carbon is purpousely making us blindfolded against seeing real threats.

    I had a fire loss at a rental property here in FL this year- the house was a total loss and we were insured, of course, but hadn't updated the values in a while due to skyrocketing costs. The only way to become whole was to sell to another investor- the insurance settlement plus the sale got us pretty much appraised value. I probably could have rebuilt for the settlement amount- but I'm not in that business and it would be a years long ordeal. And of course there was no personal property involved on my end.

    I don't know the areas being discussed, but it seems like some of those neighborhoods are regular folks, some who've had homes passed on through generations, who are going to now get locked out and be forced to sell to investors. Then they move to Arizona or become renters? Im not big on conspiracies, but it's just another nail in the coffin of the middle class working stiff. Not the way our society was envisioned.

    The whole insurance industry is a fucking mess

    I told the guys in my rental if it burns down I will not be rebuilding it.

    They looked at me like I was nuts

    I can’t comprehend how there isn’t enough water after LAFD installed three new dikes.
