I'm just curious if they'll take the necessary actions to make it happen.Sixbearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572224383041421400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-47968210882073962282019-11-15T02:12:33.101-05:002019-11-15T02:12:33.101-05:001) There is drought, because Moonbeam, unlike his ...1) There is drought, because Moonbeam, unlike his much brighter father, didn't want to follow the century-old State Water Plan, and refused, in two different trips to the governor's mansion, to build any new reservoirs or infrastructure to utilize what water runs out to sea every single year. But people have moved here anyways, doubling the state's pop. from 20M to nearly 40M in a generation.<br />Ditto for energy generation and infrastructure. This is the penalty for electing Moonbeam four times.<br /><br />2) People don't live in the hills because there's no housing in the cities, they live in the hills because they're beautiful and the cities are sh*tholes.<br />Also, because they're idiots, because the hills burn <i>every year since forever</i>. For forty years, fer cripesake, they built houses with wood shake roofs, which is like making a roof out of charcoal briquettes.<br />If people were required to build concrete homes with metal roofs there, and allowed no brush whatsoever within 50' of a structure, the annual fire loss would be single digits. But people rich enough to be stupid keep going back, and screwing it up. Serves 'em right.<br /><br />3) The inner cities <i>are</i> unlivable, as Democrat admins make them so. Which drives their tax and business base away, which will, and is, bankrupting the state.<br /><br />4) Then, inexorably, the stupidity ends, and we can try again.<br />But not until they turn the entire lashup west of I-5 into Detroit redux.<br />Let them.<br />It's all blue hives there anyhow, and when the mobs they've fostered revolt, and burn them out, great will be the celebration in the saner half of the state.Aesophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07834464741531503378noreply@blogger.com
