From each according to his ability: Gov. Jerry Brown Speaks To KCAL9
2014-01-31
Excerpt:

The president called me today. He offered to do whatever he can do. He obviously can't make it rain (say what?!), he said.

But there are some parts of California that are more privileged from the point of view of water availability than others (Equality! For All!). So we have systems (and pens...and phones.). We can transfer it.

But there are a lot of water rights ( probably stolen from someone, and now the state can do with them as it wishes.), a lot of rules (rules pfffffffft, they're not exactly like "laws" or anything.), so we've got to cut through ("This might hurt a little bit.") that and make sure that those who need it most get the water to the extent we have it available.

("We" as in the Royal sense, I presume...)

#10  Immigration. People coming in by the droves. Overloading carefully planned resources by past generations to handle growth of future American generations, not a free for all human mega rush sponsored by the Demorats.

#9  Probably an inappropriate expression, used to express contempt, not to be taken literally.

#8  Careful what you say, EU. What if he took you up on that? Do you really want rabies?

#7  We know it's a desert. We know there used to be a whole tribe of Indians just south of the Mexican border who lived by fishing in the Colorado River. But southern Californians now get all the water, the river is a trickle by the time it gets to the border and the Indians are now picking our lettuce. They tell us to conserve water while they continue to issue water hookup permits for massive new housing tracts. How is that conserving water? I'm already taking three minute showers but I will NOT let my lawn go brown. Moonbeam can bite me.

#6  Get used to it CA. The Twentieth Century was the wettest for the west in 1200 years, recent years are returning to normal.

#5  Phase I of clearing out the Central Valley was cutting off the water. Phase II will be to transfer what is left to the cities. Phase III will work towards final depopulation. Project complete. There next task will focus on clearing out the suburbs.

#3  California has been in a drought for a long, long time. Has nothing to do with water.

#2  Jerry is talking to the wrong guy, in the wrong language. After all, the majority in CA is Spanish, so the Gov needs to get with it. Where is Linda Ronstadt when you need her?

¿Podría traerme un poco de agua?

#1  SO... they are going to send water to the cities, and dry up the farms that feed those folks.

Goodbye California, hello Soylent Green.
