    It’s fucking January. I’m pretty sure even the mega farms don’t need the water right now!

      Not only do they not need the water right now, rain is expected in the next week so this could actually increase the risk of flooding.

      While they shouldn’t grow almonds in California’s climate. Meat and dairy uses up way more water.

          Unfortunately, that tends to have unintended consequences. Because apparently people are reluctant to “waste” their allotment on girls.

            And I care why? Long as they aren’t popping out 12 fucking kids, who then have 12 kids… I can eat a steak to that.

              Sorry, I was under the misapprehension that you gave a fuck about the future based on your original statement. I see my error now.

    Too bad those megafarms are struggling to produce without labor from illegal immigrants…
