The governor, however, will remain free to stick his head as far out the window as he likes.  Or up his backside, as he has already demonstrated.

Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down... But he didnt know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow. But it will at least have passed through the poor fellows hands.

Just bizarre.  It was minus 10 (F.) when we woke up.  Up to five above now, which is the warmest temp in three days.

If you can change how people think and feel, then you can change how they behave. And movies and television shows and music, etc, can all change how people think and feel, and thus the Entertainment Industry has the power to change how people behave.

It is important to have locally owned studios here in Hollywood to convey our local message and to employ our local people, and we need altruistic companies which put California first.

Salute,

Global warming?

Why yes.   Greater solar gain in the atmosphere pumps energy into wilder weather, disruptions in the polar jet stream that suddenly drops arctic air into the temperate zone, with more extremes and the amazingly steep temperature gradients over a few hundred miles (as shown in the graphic).  All this was predicted by climate scientists as far back as the seventies. 

Also worth noting that January and first part of February were well above seasonal norms across the northern tier of states as well as up and down the Eastern Seaboard.  And the continued acceleration of glacier and ice cap melting.

Don't give a shit if you believe scientists but I don't plan to let partisan climate denier innuendos pollute even this forum and have gullible lurkers think they have any validity.  The evidence for rapid anthropogenic global warming is overwhelming and past predictions are proving to be true (some were in fact overly conservative).  Science, unlike lying partisan hacks and fossil fuel shills, doesn't start out with preconceived fantasies and then cherry pick and skew data to fit those fantasies.

This rain and snow here in California and in the West was desperately needed. The states which depend on the Colorado River were all getting edgy. Now we have rain and snow, so we will be okay.

And the USA needs to keep investing in dams and in aguaducts and in creating new man made lakes, etc. And the United States Government can build dams and they can create lakes and then they can sell the water and the electricity from the dams to the people, like with Lake Mead. The United States Government is selling water and electricity from Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. And now Las Vegas has 650,000 people. We need to keep spending money to improve our water system and to better sustain our water supply.

Of note too, is that California needs the water to grow food and to make wine, etc. The problems in Ukraine also mean that California needs to produce more food. California needs the water to grow food.

There was a guy on television who said that America can benefit from expanding cattle ranching in Arkansas. Farming and ranching can be expanded in Arkansas where the weather is good and where the water is plentiful.

Here is a link for the Future Farmers of America in Arkansas which can help to teach the people of Arkansas how to be farmers and ranchers.

Arkansas FFA Association

https://www.arkansasffa.org

And they can make cheese in Arkansas, etc.

The way to bring down the high prices of food is to expand production, and Arkansas can help us to expand food production here in the USA.

Nice fast google on your part.
But
Big tech always defaults to the leftists.
However, ChatGpt is eating crow these days on climate change stats.
Science is hardly ever unanimous
May want to expand your research.

While it is true that we need to put ourselves first, and while we need to make sure that the needs of our own people are met, here is what the Bible says in regard to helping other people, along with what the Bible says in Mathew 25; 31-46 about helping the poor and the needy.

-----

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. - Philippians 2:3-4

--------

Christians are supposed to help each other.

But so too are we supposed to help our 60,000 homeless people on the streets of Los Angeles, we need to help others, but so too must we help our own homeless people.

Salute,

Blizzards and snow in California
Hollywood got a mention.
Snow on the beach at Santa Cruz.

Break out the buckets, and save the water for the summer.
