The people in Kern County didn't have any water and was forced to get limited water from the state through water trucks. Now the water that Kern County is allowed to have access to is being poisoned, and the state is just blaming it on "Climate Change" amongst other factors.
If you really want to see how bad this mess is and who behind it all, go look up information on the Resnick family and their involvement in California politics. Hell you can even look up the changes to that doomed California highspeed rail, and those weird stops it was going to make, with where the Resnick family has businesses and homes. Then you can see how badly California is controlled by this one family.
I suspected that some of the old ways of powerful 'family' concerns were a factor. It makes me wonder about the nature of their representation, and how they can justify going along quietly with the continued abuses of their "sponsors." I suppose that they get elected and appointed by the embedded influences in the order of their government.
Kind of sad, no? We could rail against the inequity, but who actually listens? Is it that those who could take steps to fix this simply won't? (Or perhaps they can't.)
We could make a huge list, a litany of grief... including the inhabitants of Kern County... but who takes on the responsibility to fix it? If not the local government officials, not the regional representatives... who is left?
It seems to me that water is too important to allow private profiteering to interfere.
This is the stuff of the legendary "black pill" everyone yields to... it engenders the cynicism we have to overcome somehow.
