The drought is manufactured. They destroy the soil by not letting the water filter out the Colorado river to the ocean. They walled it all up and turned our water into a cesspool. The water sits in the freaking manufactured lake and evaporates before we even get a chance to use it.
Why is one couple allowed to consume more water than all the people in Los Angeles put together? The couple who owns Fiji Water and Pom Wonderful.
Amid Drought, Billionaires Control A Critical California Water Bank
Water prices are soaring in California’s Central Valley, where a quarter of the nation’s food is grown. As the West Coast’s megadrought worsens, one farming company has long been scrutinized for its outsize role in the arid region’s water supply.
Wonderful, the closely held company owned by billionaires Stewart and Lynda Resnick, can buy up huge amounts of water whenever it needs more. Most of the Resnicks’ water comes from long-term contracts and other water from land rights they have from the farms they own. Around 9% of the total water used by Wonderful is bought out on the open water market. While that’s not a huge amount of the water it uses, the company can outspend pretty much every other farmer in the region, which can influence water prices.

I live in Arizona and grow my own veggies is a small lot on my property. It's fun. Watching new life come back in the spring after witnessing the death of the year before makes me happy. I always concernfag about whether my bulbs will bloom again but they always do.
The dust bowl is not on the Colorado river. The Indians in Arizona were successfully farming the land before they built that worthless dam and cut off their water supply.
Thinking you or anybody else has a right to dam up the water supply and sell it to people by the gallon is ridiculous stupid thinking. Corporations should not be able to turn up 10s of thousands of acres and consume sll the water. That's what the Resnick's do. They are the ones creating dust bowl potential. Not the average farmer. The wind blows all the time in Oklahoma and there aren't any trees to stop it. I think we can do better if we are given a more level playing field. We have the resources to grow an abundant harvest. Have you seen the price of the nuts the Resnick's sell? Those bitches are getting richer every day.
That old man David Resnick owned a company with Lee DeForest the father of radio. I bet the Resnick's are related to Lynn.
Another interesting fact about the Resnick's is that they own Teleflora. Those refrigerated Teleflora vans look a lot like the trafficking vans. Lots of insulation to keep the flowers cool.
Lake Powell is the biggest waste of water. It just sits there and evaporates. It's stupid.
We will just have to disagree about this subject. I believe the FLOOD is coming and I'm ready.
