President Donald Trump really turned the water back on during this fall’s snowfall firestorms, while California plays with the union’s proposal to leave. You’d think they would have done that themselves now, but alas.

There’s an ancient prank that Californians know all too well. ” California doesn’t really have four seasons. We simply have: Earthquake, Fire, Flood, and Drought”. There’s nothing that can be done about the disasters apart from creating earthquake-proof buildings. To California’s record, they’re usually very doggone good about that.  ,
When your various three” times” are Fire, Flood, and Drought, the answer is to keep plenty of fluids stored and apply controlled fires to prevent the inevitable fire from becoming ragers.  ,
And Another Point: The Colorado version of the four seasons pun is” Snow, Mud, Fire, and Construction”, and non-residents are shocked by the clash.
We’ve recently discussed California’s “environmental” issues that prevent the state from effectively managing its trees. I’m not sure what ecological benefits come from repeatedly burning the woodland down, but I’m not a communist. Let’s not get into that once.
But you might also consider that California’s buzzing 40 million people would need ( and get ) the kind of waters infrastructure needed for drinking, bathing, and fighting the unusual wildfire, but, alas, once more. Otherwise, Californians are treated to moments like this one:

“20, 000 square feet/second” isn’t simply an easy-to-understand family assessment, but let me do the mathematics for you. One cubic foot of water contains approximately 7.5 gallons. So that’s 150, 000 thousand liters of water flowing into the sea every one second. And that’s just one bridge.
DURING A DROUGHT EMERGENCY.
Why does California launch the water into the sea if it’s such an incident rather than storing it in pools like the extremely clear Santa Ynez Reservoir? Santa Ynez, which contains up to 117 million gallons, nearly a year ago when repairs were scheduled to take a month to complete. But, hey, no dash — it’s just waters. Mañana, inshallah, whatever.
And Another Thing: A typical 10-minute shower uses between 15-50 gallons of water, depending largely on whether you have a low-flow shower head ( to Hell with those! ) and, I suppose, your home water pressure. At an average of, state, 30 liters per rain, that one bridge was wasting as much water as three million 10-minute showers — every 10 moments. I double-checked the mathematics. ( I should have triple-checked and forgot the next step. I appreciate the correction, and I love our VIPs. )
Drought in California are a lot like droughts in Africa: positive, bad stuff happens, but the worst results are fully man-made. Plants fail, locusts swarm, and meals definitely becomes more expensive. But incredible financial mismanagement, typically perpetrated by regional warlords who use food as a means of maintaining democratic control, is required to achieve a real famine, like those we became sickeningly acquainted with in Ethiopia 40 years earlier.  ,

I now think Sacramento Democrats also maintain social power through drought. When places aren’t burning down every few years and when there is sufficient water for everyone to remove their toilets whenever the need arises, it’s impossible to intimidate a people into giving up their money and their rights for the sake of Gaia. ( I went to friends in the Bay Area in 1991 or 1992 when toiletries were strictly rationed — ugh. )
Enter, stage correct: President Donald Trump.
Under Emergency Powers, the US Military recently entered the Great State of California and TURNED ON THE WATER TRAILER FROM THE PACIFIC NWER AND ABOVE. The days of putting a Fake Environmental discussion, over the Citizens, are OVER. Like the water, …

Like the water, however.
Never that Californians always did, mind you. The newspaper contacted the White House for information via email outside of business hours, according to Newsweek, but it never received a reply. However,” Newsom’s office referred Newsweek to a speech from the California Department of Water Resources denying Trump’s promises”.
However, the state Department of Water Resources stated that after national water pumps were shut down for three days for preservation, the agency restarted them. Southern California’s water resources are still plentiful.

There is some uncertainty about what transpired or didn’t, but one thing is certain: California continues to be utterly misled, and Trump is unlikely to make much of it.
