California Doing California Things

[bilby]

only having fucking Greyhound buses to get around on? I mean have you ever actually ridden on one?

In July I went from NYC to Buffalo and back, 9 hours each way, overnight. It only makes that trip once a day, so it was packed.
The bus itself was nice enough. But the driver was an asshole. Left a lady behind at a truck stop, an hour away from NYC. Even thou people yelled to him as he pulled out.

It's a well known fact that all bus drivers are terrible people. Total assholes.

So I guess we don't need any more reservoirs?

Not really, if you ask me. But the state is also pursuing the construction of two new reservoirs, and the repair or upgrade of several more.

Money well spent I say. High Speed Rail, not so much.

A fact for which they are being savagely attacked by the right wing press at the moment! (Owing to the Santa Ynez Reservoir being under repair and therefore empty when the Palisade fire started). Apparently, you all are so fucking stupid that you think reservoirs sould only be built, never maintained, repaired, or improved. Would you agree? Is it a "waste of money" to fix things when they break?

Behave yourself. It is obvious that I am in favor of building (and maintaining) reservoirs so who the fuck are you actually talking about? Why do you do this shit, it's asinine.

You will find that the biggest obstacle to building infrastructure are the unhinged environmentalists.

So you admit that the state, and governor, are already doing the thing you claim they should be doing "instead of" improving transit infrastructure?

Meh. Your boy says there's a great big faucet and it will solve your whole drought problem. Aren't you glad you helped elect a guy who is going to solve your whole drought problem?

Ah, the truth comes out! Your real goal here isn't the building of anything, but the wanton destruction of California's natural environment. The beautiful natural environment which sustains a $39 billion dollar forestry industry, $5 billion tourist industry, a $500 million fishing industry, and both employs and entertains millions of Californians?

I guess the rule is, if it's stupid and self-defeating, Republicans support it no matter what it is.

That's not obvious at all. It is obvious that you are in favor of building reservoirs. Not repairing and maintaining them, which as a rule your fellow conservatives are furiously opposed to doing. How was I supposed to know that you are in lockstep with the the Foxosphere/Dailymail on every single issue except that one?

So, just to be clear, do you believe that the state was not in error when it emptied the Santa Ynez reservoir to repair its damaged covering?

 

[Shadowy Man]

Good because we don't fucking need it!! You know what we do need? Reservoirs, build them rather than a dumb vanity project. The voters in California were duped again.

California has one of the most complex water {snip}

So I guess we don't need any more reservoirs?

Well, another Lake Mead would be nice.

Sure, but we can't even keep Lake Mead full.

 

[Politesse]

Technically, full is not the goal. But we can't keep anywhere near its optimal working capacity either.

I assume that you are equally outraged by the republican government in Texas that had 7,530 fires charring over 205,000 acres in 2023?

I don't live in Texas so no, I am not outraged by the Texas republican government. Should I be? Seems a silly question fella.

Oh goody, Newsom is spending $50m on "Trump proofing California".

California Democrats have reached a $50 million agreement to shore up state and local legal defenses against the incoming Trump administration just a week ahead of the president-elect’s inauguration. Half the money would go to fending off any mass deportation plan the new president might enact early in his administration. “This funding agreement cements California’s readiness to serve as a bulwark against Trump’s extremist agenda,” said Senate Budget Chair Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat who’s expressed interest in one day replacing Rep. Nancy Pelosi, in a statement.

No, of course not, you live in a very dangerous place filled with wild fires which is why you should move to Greenland. Trump will buy it soon and you can get a headstart now before all the others start running there to buy up land.
