In the end, it's all political. There's more than enough water; just depends on how they allocate it. As with all things political though, it never hurts to throw a good bit of fear mongering into the mix to keep the sheep in line.
An interesting read on the topic: https://californiapolicycenter.org/p...ng-california/ |

100% POLITICAL. Just go check when the last time a new reservoir was built in California. The California modus operendi is to add millions of people over the decades, ignore infrastructure unless it literally falls down.

They need us way more than we need them.

Yes, the fact that last year the US imported $2.9 trillion in foreign goods, but exported only $2.3 trillion, clearly supports that assertion.

holy fuck thats a narrow scope of perception. ^^^^ on the day that wall mart wanted to look so good for giving tiny bunuses (the scale was laughable) they also closed like 250 stores. because cheap taxes?

why is it okay for workers for protest and demand more pay, but it's not okay for a business to maximize/increase, or better yet, even have, profits?
bonus canadian content: http://dailycaller.com/2017/01/26/li...tion-policies/ Liberals seeking to move to Canada because they are unhappy with the election results are finding that Canada won’t take them because its immigration policies exclude those who won’t contribute to the economy. One of the policies of President Donald Trump that has some Democrats claiming they want to jump ship is his pledge to limit immigration from people whose lives in America would be dependent on welfare. Trump promises “extreme vetting” before accepting immigrants or refugees. But Democrats looking to move from the U.S. to Australia, Canada and other wealthy English-speaking nations are learning that those nations already have similar policies. |
majority of those companies that are benefiting most from new tax laws, never had a problem to begin with. As a small business owner, I benefit ZERO from new laws.
from a Chicago tribune article.. Put another way, the new tax law is giving America’s wealthy not one but two big windfalls: They stand to gain the most from the tax cuts for individuals, and they’re the big winners from the tax cuts for corporations. |

Because the stores weren't meeting some specific profitability goal. Talk about conflating to unrelated items.
