Wealthy Californians: "We Are All Not Equal When It Comes To Water"
Some of the quotes from this article are amazing. Here in Texas, during our drought, we were drinking recycled "pee pee/poo poo" water. Obviously some of these people believe water rationing is for "the little people not us!"

Some quotes [Less than 50%]:
___________________________________________________________
“California used to be the land of opportunity and freedom,” Barbre said. “It’s slowly becoming the land of one group telling everybody else how they think everybody should live their lives. [You just now figuring that out genius?]

____________________________________________________________


“It angers me because people aren’t looking at the overall picture,” Butler said. “What are we supposed to do, just have dirt around our house on four acres?”

____________________________________________________________


Drought or no drought, Steve Yuhas resents the idea that it is somehow shameful to be a water hog. If you can pay for it, he argues, you should get your water.

People “should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful,” Yuhas fumed recently on social media. “We pay significant property taxes based on where we live,” he added in an interview. “And, no, we’re not all equal when it comes to water.”

The really bad thing about this is there will be a fine for overusing the water, and those rich people will pay it. Taking the water from everyone else. I say just cut them off when they've reached their limit. Maybe that'll get the message to those spoiled and entitled people.

Exactly. That is mentioned in the article. Wait until they put flow control in their water lines.

The rich will always have a nice green lawn. They just pay the fine, it's nothing for them. So is everybody equal when it comes to water? Nope, unless you connect the amount of the fine to the income or net worth of the person(s) involved.

Redwood trees dying up North from the drought but these guys get to PAY the fines for the water that the trees need! That's a luxury they don't deserve.

A majestic Redwood, or a golf course.

Oops sorry, Redwood tree can't pay.

Well, to be fair. Golf courses, once the grass dies off to the drought, it's going to cost millions to repair. Most likely will fall to disarray after that. Same for public parks, football fields, baseball fields, soccer fields, etc. It costs very little to maintain the land but costs a lot of money to repair the land for regrowth.

Interesting, I've seen this several times. People bunch the golf courses into the same group as public parks, football fields, etc. because they know that arguing for the golf courses alone won't get them anywhere.

It doesn't matter. The wealthy lawn waterers are only a small percentage of the already very small percentage (4%) of personal residential use. A mere drop compared to the ocean of water that's being sucked up for agriculture.

Besides which, California is going to flood from el nino next winter. Those homeowners should be checking their roofs and stocking up on plastic tarps.

When it comes to a pool, or owning your own car wash, this is correct. People are not equal to water in this fashion.


But when it comes to the human need to drink to sustain life, we ALL ARE EQUAL in this need.

Yes. Legal citizens must ration and pay more for their water so that the 5 MILLION illegal aliens in California can have their fair share. The cost of illegal immigration is spread throughout average citizens, with the poor and middle class bearing the heaviest burden. We ALL pay more for utilities, housing, education, healthcare, food and infrastructure because of illegal immigrants. Unfortunately for Californians, they lead the way in all categories.

Califoria's water shortage is entirely man-made, but not on the consumption side, on the production side. You can't build shit in CA without jumping though 5 years of whacktard enviromental hoops and fronting millions of $$$ in bogus R&D costs. CA is being choked to death by left wing idiots who care more about fish and moles than they do about their next door neighbor. The chickens are coming home to roost. When this nation was great we USED to build huge dams, canals and reservoirs.

You can't live on brown earth around homes, it actually can kill anyone with ashthma and other conditions, and it harms the climate. Not weather, climate. You need trees, shrubs, green growing things to bring in rain.

However the problem with bringing in rain, is the elite have their hands on scalar technology that they're using as weapons destroying weather and climate for agenda 21. To control everything and steal water rights.

Cali is on the coast.

Put up water desalination and purifying facilities that even take out radiation, and power them, and most of the state, with wind/tide/solar, right there on the ocean, and pipe in the water.

Next step, get rid of the evil asshats in power and research, the names of the black op heads who are running these things, such as D. Rockerfeller, Kissinger, Bush Sr. and a host of other corporate heads and arrest them and throw them in jail and dismantle their operations.

Take back the power.

Oh and then you can use scalar properly, ie Reverse Sine and neutralize each frequency of each radioactive or poisonous isotope, even synthia from the BP. Use it to heal and for clean technology, but not as a weapon.

It's your ilk that have caused the problem. You're not "giving" them anything. They are paying for it. And its not your water to give in the first place. But is the money they pay for the water going towards developing any new sources of water? Hell no! Its going towards more libtardian social welfare programs, corruption and graft to keep the TPTB in power, so they can create more problems an herald themselves as the solution. What a fing retard!
