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?

    some mind control fluoride (just kidding?)

    That's preposterous. Everyone knows that the fluoride is to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids!

    For mind control, they use their liberal agents in Hollywood to sneak communist messaging into children's television programming.

      Do you remember the standup routine this comes from? All I remember of it is the next step is something like "And thats why they contaminated weed with flouride" or something similar. Like most standup its only funny if you're drunk or high.
