California Orders its Largest Water Cuts in History

The State of California took an unprecedented move today [June 14] by uniformly restricting water supplies across the entire state. Farms will be most affected, although food prices aren't anticipated to rise in any hurry: imports from out of state continue apace. It's notable that this is a problem Silicon Valley hasn't been helping to solve.

Will this move force some much-needed modernization upon the infrastructure supporting the state's 38 million residents? Or will things continue to be corn, corn, corn for the time being?

    It doesn't help that California keeps enticing assholes to move here with runaway housing development.

    They need to stop assholes moving here, and they need to throw the illegals and property developers the fuck out. Let them all go to Texas. That's one aspect in addition to the farming and industry aspect which needs to be addressed.

    Take their water Dune-style and you may be willing to import more of them.

    California is America's Ark B [wikia.com]. I thought all the clever people figured that out.
