California is a garbage state but it’s obnoxious watching threads devolve in to reddit-tier pseudo-politics every time it’s mentioned. I wish we could be a board about food and cooking.

Why does California have a "historic drought" every eight months?

>>16327834
Because climate change is real

>>16327446
California well water chad here. About 6 months ago one of the water troughs on my farm had a leak for a few weeks before I noticed it. Might have wasted somewhere around 30k gallons of water LMAO.

Nevadan here, the reality is the southwest has been undergoing drought for the past 15 years. It's just not affecting my state as much because our population is 1/13th that of california, we don't use anywhere near as much resources.

Why haven't we figured out desalination yet?

>>16327862
If the machinery works anything like how it did when I was in the service, those machines suck up about 12,000 gallons of water, create about 1,200 gallons of fresh water, then spits out the rest back into the ocean.

>>16327878
sorry typo there, I meant every hour it would suck up 1,200 and it took several hours to create 1,200 of fresh water while constantly spitting out salt water

>skipping a meal
>lill hungry
>drink water with lemon
>not hungry anymore
It's pretty good, just gotta watch out for your enamel.

>>16327649
Nah at this point being a flyover is better

>>16327446
>mfw thinking about californians suffering

>>16327649
Apparently not, because more people are fleeing the state than coming to it lmao

Have fun kneeling with Pelosi tho

>>16327446
It's incredible how fast things are accelerating since the elites saw how unwilling we are collectively to stand up for our rights.

We deserve to be enslaved and abused because we are weak, feeble people.

>>16328205
retards moving to the south because they think it has a lower cost of living will be miserable and return in less than 5 years.

>>16327649
imagine wanting to be a metropolitan hub of "culture"

>>16327834
Farmers. California produces a huge chunk of produce for the US and the world. Unfortunately water is getting too pricey

>>16328226
Fuck off conspiracy theory retard

>>16328238
Coastie cope

>>16327834
Because we are. It's not every 8 months it's been almost two decades. I live in Utah and the great salt lake is practically the great salt pan at the moment. I didn't think I could hate Utah anymore but the Californians have been moving here in droves and turning my shitty state into a shitty over priced state. Our reservoirs are almost too low to be useful and in the south that means that everyone down river isn't getting it either so reliable power for Vegas and water for California are rapidly dwindling. On top of that our wells are running dry and now there are concerns that are aquifers are being affected as well.
The good news is that thunderstorms are supposed to blow in tomorrow so at least hopefully everything will catch on fire.

>>16328323
Pic related is Ben and Jerry's ice cream. They are a chemical supply chain company, one of the world's largest polluters, and 3rd world slavers. This foreign corporation uses fronts like their little Vermont ice cream company as political money laundering operations.

This is how all subsidized farmers are.
>>16328309
Farming and industry in califronian desert is the biggest consumer and they don't try to use even remotely efficient water because they bribe the government to give them money to do whatever shit they want, which isn't installing better infrastructure. People blame vegas but it's at least near the colorado river. Southern california pulls way more from there and san diego and los angeles aren't that close to it.

>>16328412
>3rd world slavers
I can assure you that every person employed by those "slavers" has far, far higher income than the rest of his thirld world countrymen.

>>16327446
You know if this happened in Texas or Florida they would blame it on corruption or claim criminal negligence.
Since it happen in California, climate change is the culprit.

I still don't understand why so many people are leaving the California utopia.

I find it hard to believe they'll be able thrive in the suburbs or even rural, they'll miss the fast city life too much and will be back.

Retarded question but where the fuck is the water going??

>>16328744
You know (((where))) it's going.

>>16328724
California has been having droughts for many years now. One reason is climate change. The other reason is pistachio/almond/etc growers using ungodly amounts of water because the government is corrupt. But please keep crying and defending Texas’s third world power grid or whatever your point was

>>16328705
Probably means they source their material from countries that use slave labor. Like the Muslims in China that supply Apple, Microsoft, Nike, Nintendo, and dozens of others.

>>16328744
Sent to mexico and israel.

>>16328744
I think it goes inside fruits, veggies, and nuts. Then those foods get shipped all over the country.

>>16328754
Lets compare the number of blackouts in TX and CA over the last decade. We could even compare how many times energy conservation has been forced in both states.

>>16328238
Cope

>>16328771
All over the country? Californian produce is shipped all over the world as well. Silicon valley used to be a bunch of cherry orchards. Now the only ones left export it all to china and japan.

They can get the fast city life in atlanta and miami. They don't need to be in california for that.

>>16328771
>>16328782
Wouldn't it eventually be recycled back into the water cycle though?
Or is it the fact that we're draining water at a rate that can't be naturally replenished?

>>16328791
It'll go back into the water cycle. It just takes time and patience.

>>16328791
It also looks like a majority of california water comes from the ocean. If the weather doesn't bring the water from the ocean and rain it down on land there's droughts.
I'm in Sonoma county near napa valley and it has been dry as shit this year. My hay field only grew about 1/2 as tall compared to last year.

>>16328830
I was just surprised but how much worse California has it than us AZ folks right now, we're always in a drought but we're chilling right now.
We got our first full day of rain since the beginning of the year.

>>16327834
Shit it's almost like California is drying the fuck up over time. The southern US is fucked in the long term.

>>16328762
>Like the Muslims in China
This is a literal propaganda, anon.
The effect of it is that the uighurs were effectively made unemployable by anyone in China who supplies western companies. Suppliers are going to be blamed for using "forced labour" for the sole fact of employing the uighurs.
The goal is to radicalize a minority and to leverage "freedom fighters" against China.

>>16328834
Like other people said California's agricultural industry is just way bigger than az. Probably unsustainably large in the long run. I've got a well in a major recharge water zone, so I don't have much to worry about.. except for wild fires possibly.

>>16328309
what if we just moved all the orange farmers and their mexican serfs to florida, where the oranges belong

>>16328870

>he thinks megacorporations give a shit what western paypigs believe and dont kowtow to the ccp
>he thinks the megacorps and ccp don't own the newspapers that publish stories about uighur concentration camps and allow them to do so because westerners don't give a measly fuck about slave labor so long as they get their new iphones

Do you think this will maybe make them step back and realize they can't afford the lemons because of the people they elect

Just so you know, California is blood red in the updated 2019-2020 map

>>16329038
It would be interesting to see if most people leaving cali are from rural or urban areas.

Lab grown meats are heaven on earth here and now

Look up salt water rice too

Nestle and other bottling companies source from California's water supply and lakes.
