LA tv station is now claiming the reservoirs are empty "because of evaporation"..... They're getting a bit of *feedback*

Killing 17,000 Americans a year is probably on a par with gun deaths, i.e. it's insignificant. However, I'm sure the technicalities could be addressed so that it kills more and then they could sell that technology to China. Overpopulation is the problem and the US is sitting on the answer and making it appear the bogeyman.

FFS.

I liked this part:

It’s a silly study. For example, it estimates that total air emissions associated with U.S. apple production kill about 3.8 people per year somewhere in the general population.

If the number's that low they should be able to name them.

Name (or just point at) anyone, they'll die. Perhaps not immediately.

Imagine being the poor fucker who is only 80% dead...

Californian, or a redneck, so almost brain dead?

And they almost certainly won't die of severe orchard poisoning.

Possibly enhanced into scrumpy. I once made some that turned a beige carpet jet black where some got spilled.

Now they've started culling the meat & diary herds...

Tehama county has now run out of water & the regs/rules etc in this State make it impossible/illegal for anyone to fill a tanker with potable & drive it there.

& then there's this...Drought? what drought?

[ZRX61]

FFS, it's just goes from bad to worse...
500,000 to 1million acres of farmland taken out of production... First these fucker release all the goddamn water from the reservoirs, then they make it illegal to use wells...unless you put more water INTO the ground than you pump out of it

https://sjvwater.org/putting-farmland-o ... easy-task/

Projected losses by county, according to the 2020 report, include:

Madera County – 32,908 acres of farmland, $69 million per year.
Fresno County – 254,364 acres, $671 million.
Merced County – 41,054 acres, $69 million.
Stanislaus County – 30,509 acres, $50 million.
Tulare County – 172,401 acres, $286 million.
Kings County – 133,301 acres, $123 million.
Kern County – 327,141 acres, $641 million.

The report estimates nearly one million acres of farmland will need to be retired at a loss of about $1.9 billion.

That retired farmland could be repurposed for a variety of uses such as solar, grazing or groundwater storage. Another option is restoring habitat for native species.

.... because no fucker needs to EAT.

This is what the most fertile farm land in the US now looks like for mile after mile... Nothing to do with lack of rain because we had 5-6 years of water in the reservoirs just two years ago.

Cut off the water, destroy agriculture & plunge the country into hyper-inflation...

In the UK, a gallon of petrol is £6+ and coal is £280 per tonne.

Media finally started talking about inflation today. Used car prices are up by almost 20% over the past two months. RV sales are back-ordered two years.

Not sure what relevance that has to US inflation... unless the UK is having the same skyrocketing prices? Was gas £3/gal a year ago? Was coal £140/ton last June?

Weekly food shopping cost is up about 40-50%.

There's a thread in GM about inflation in the uk, there's another about vehicle scarcity and prices. You're determined to make about Biden, should we blame him too?
