I have lived thru California droughts before but nothing like this one. Back in the 70s when California was more center thinking than the far far left warm and fuzzies now controlling the Government I went thru a bad one. All the local municipals and citizens man upped and cut their water consumption. Violators were fined no if ands or buts. All the golf courses turned brown, showers and toilets had restrictors, motto was if its yellow mellow, if brown flush it down, public green areas went brown, agriculture was cut in half, car washes went out of business, no water served in restaurants, bottlers imported their Cokes and other drinks from out of state....on and on.
I just read in the Bay Area news that San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose will not enforce the new Jerry Brown water initiative and fine offenders. Like good progressives they will give them a time out and send them to their rooms for 10 min. to think about it. They will leave a note on their door "how to conserve water".
ARE YOU KIDDING? If California gets just one more dry winter some 25 miilion+ peeps had better like the taste of spit and sea water. When the wells and reservoirs are dry to the bone. Most progressives are not believers...they had better learn to drop to their knees and pray to something.
