Maggie's Farm

In a nutshell California was taken over by the left beginning in the 60's it wasn't a sudden coup but a series of wins by the radicals and pushing out the moderates when they stuck their heads up like a Whack-A-Mole game. Now California is reaping some of what it sowed over those years of pandering to special interests to vote in more and more radical left wing politicians. California has flushed it's water out to sea to save the species de jour. It has stopped one water storage project after another for fear of some snail or bird being offended. California farmers do not have the ear of California's legislators in the same way that the Sierra Club or La Raza does. California has/had the GDP of a large European country and farming is the backbone of that enormous amount of capital. This is the Left's "chickens" coming home to roost. There will be a huge loss of revenue to the state because of this. It will be interesting to see how it plays out and who the Democrats blame vs who the voters blame. Sadly I do think California is lost. It was taken over long ago by the eco-wingnuts and illegal aliens. The big question is will the federal government (AKA the taxpayers) bail them out or let them go belly up.
