I’m sorry, but the lede on this broke me to the point of uncontrollable laughter. This is just so profoundly stupid, I don’t think Monty Python at their peak could parody this.
It’s also a lot of water to waste in the West, which is unfortunate.

“Many counties across California’s rural Central valley – home to much of its roughly $59bn agricultural industry – backed Trump in the last election, forming a red strip at the heart of the blue state.”
““Farmers in the valley are hurting from water cutbacks, there is no question about that,” Holyoke said. “The answer isn’t to toss all the laws and court orders aside and throw lots of water at farmers. We simply need to find inventive ways to make the best use of the water that we have.””
Welp. Come this hot ass summer I hope they all high-five each other over their dead ass dry crops while fanboying over a baby dicked fascist. Especially when they have no one to tend their fields, their medicare is gone, and their kids don’t get to go to school anymore. Good job maga farmers.
Hey, @melp@beehaw.org … I know you’re new here and the post formatting can be hard to adjust to, but when quoting a story, you want to start each graf with a greater-than sign.
Oh weird. I used the formatting tool! I swear I thought it was like that when I closed the window.
This part is actually a feature. You think desperate farmers are going to let crops rot in the field while their kids attend school? And that’s just family farms! Just wait until the inner city high schools start getting tapped for factory farms!
I always like to give benefit of doubt that parents want better for their kids. I’m being gracious. ;p
