California is a special place. No where else in the USA/Canada do you have such a wonderful climate where you can have so many growing seasons (6?). It is the Bread Basket of NA.

It would be worth helping find a solution to provide this area of the country with water.

California has plenty of water.

It has a terribly wasteful system for distributing and paying for it.

Yeah, we will sell them water.... at a nice healthy profit.

Unless North America is into eating Strawberry flavored Almond Bread, CA is not bread Basket of NA.

Garlic basket - Yes, Strawberry Basket - Yes,

Nut Basket - For sure (if you count hollywood celeb and eccentric world saviors of SV).

But bread basket .. nope. The people of CA think the sun rotates around them. The most arable land in 'Murica is the mid-west and Mississippi river system. America with out CA will happily feed itself without missing a beat, without Almond milk of course.

Yeah, I just love the Mid-West and Mississippi fresh fruit and fresh vegetables in the middle of Winter. Who knew they had a harvest of Lettuce in January.

Regional swipes like that break the site guidelines. Please make your substantive points without stooping to that.

(Doubly so for "Your smugness is nauseating!" below, even though you were provoked. I'm sure you already know that.)
