-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today .

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Do Californians not know where their water comes from? Like, I'd cheer them on or whatever, but it seems like a doomed project even in the best imagined scenario.
Bold of you to think we wouldn’t ally with the Great Lakes Caliphate and build a sky-aqueduct tube to slurp Huron directly to Calabazas lawns
Where does it come from? I'm pretty sure most water used in California is already in California. Do they import water?
Several sources, but much of southern California's drinking comes from the Colorado river over a 242 mile long aqueduct. If Vegas aligned with CA then it would probably be just fine.
The Colorado River is in California, though? Obviously not all of it, but part of it.
At best, it forms the CA/AZ border. the water rights for the Colorado river are a hot topic among those states and should be carefully managed.
Not the Mexican states, of course, they get shafted. It's wild how they just divert the water right at the AZ/Mexico border lol.
I mean, the middle of the river is generally considered the border. All I'm pointing out here is that California isn't really importing water if they're getting it from a river that is at least partially part of California
A geographic point, not a political one. Yes a portion of the river is in California, no the water isn’t Californian because the spigot would get shut off the second it secedes. Being downstream means that it’s essentially imported from the upstream states
Colorado River baby!
Part of the Colorado River is in California? Do they go further upstream to get water or something? I'm genuinely confused. Everything I'm looking up basically says California moves water around the state, but isn't really "importing" it from out of state or out of the country in large quantities.
The compact is an agreement with the other states to not use it all and to let some flow into CA iirc, I could be wrong. A lot comes from NorCal but a solid percentage comes from upstream the Colorado as well
