Kalifornia is Drying Out

[b-ONE-b]

Aren't a lot of California's problems of their own creation?

California USED TO BE a great state. I grew up here in the late 70's and graduated HS in 1982. The schools were top notch, the roads were top notch, housing was affordable and it was a nice place to live.

Over the decades the liberal influence has chased away the middle class and a lot of manufacturing industry. Today California is a mix of successful $100k+/year income people and the people who mow their lawns.

California has pumped millions of gallons of water to the sea for sake of the Delta Smelt fish.

That was what I was talking about in terms of this thread. Farmers are losing their crops or not even planting them just for the sake of a tiny fish.

I realize my suggestion is conceptually simplistic, but:  WHY don't we just load up the snow from the midwest, put it in big ol' trucks, and take it CA? 

The local super-mart near by house has at last 3 dozen piles of snow over 15' tall, EACH.  The need water - we have literally tons and tons of snow that will melt, potentially causing severe flooding.

why can't someone just move what is needed from where it ISN'T needed, to where it is?

I hope Penfold doesn't stink up every thread I come across.
And that's a lot of threads.
