California applies racism to water issues

That's right! California will start allocating water on the basis of race rather than need or legal standing.
How does “holding public hearings and staff retreats since May 3 to address inequality in doling out the state’s water supply among disadvantaged populations” equate to “applying race to water issues?”
Appears a bit of an implied over reach by the “investigating reporters”

That is the application of race to water allotment. Water should be doled out on the basis of need and use, not on the basis of picking "disadvantaged populations."
If this means no more water for Hollywood swimming pools so as to not run out of drinking water for all Californians then maybe. Movie stars can afford to truck in their own water from elsewhere.

The big issue is no more water for the most productive farmers in the Imperial Valley. Instead, tribes on the Colorado that are less productive--and both sell their products on the market--will get more water, produce less food, and we'll all pay more for it all in the name of "equity." This is the usual Socialism / Leftist idiocy run amok.

black pipes get no water.......

the obvious solution is to cut the water to white residential districts in Southern California........
seems like there should be a better formula but obviouslt there was and it was correctly allocating to the fittest.
evolution/competition kinda matters.
Welcome to the racist idiocy of Leftworld.
They are holding hearings, no quotes or determinations have been made, hearings
Why is it every time a conservative sees the word "race" applied to anything they automatically think it means the white man is going to left out?

I'm guessing you have ZERO clue about California water rights and water allocations or the politics involved or the relative impact of water limits on minorities.

And it's ALWAYS something they have no clue to the history or even politics of. Let alone any technical detail about how water is dealt with in the desert SW.
Speaking of history it was known 80 years ago that in a good year almost all of the usable water comes to California in only 4-5 storms, and that they dont come every year, so if the human population is to be expanded that water must be captured and saved.

Actually, California follows the same basic rules most Western states do. Your right to take ground water is based on whether you can drill a well on your property or not. Ground water consumption is generally not controlled if you have that right. So, the amount you can pump is limited mostly by how much you can afford to drill and pump. That is, a deeper well costs more to drill and pumping more water costs more in terms of electricity.
The persons that get priority are the original water rights holders and there's a pecking order from there.
If you can't drill and pump then you are generally locked into getting water from canal systems and other surface water. That is controlled by the state and you are at their mercy as to allotments. The government can at a whim change your allotment or redistribute it to others. Thus, one year you are a large say almond grower with orchards that have been in place for a century, the next, the government takes your water allotment hands it to someone else and you have a firewood sale, unload your acreage to a developer who puts a subdivision on it.
In California you don't even have the right to collect rainwater on your property other than in limited cases for personal, non-agricultural, use. You have to let the water runoff.
Arizona is much the same way but rainwater collection is allowed (intelligently) here. Colorado river water allotments were changed by the federal government (Obama administration) to favor native Americans more. What you saw following that is independent and small farmers getting fucked in their allotments while agri-business just leased land from the Indians who are too fucking lazy to do anything requiring actual work, and these big corporations just went on farming. Previous leased land became suburbs and warehouses.
The other angle would be groups like the Saudis and Chinese. They come in subsidized by their government and drill two-thousand-foot-deep wells and then pump the living shit out of ground water. The result is all the smaller farmers who can't afford to drill deep have their wells go dry and the government isn't giving them shit for surface water. So, they end up going bankrupt or selling off their land--to the Saudis or Chinese--and retiring.
Leftist government fucks the little guy in favor of big corporations that have deep pockets and give big campaign contributions. If government played on a level field and paid attention to these things rather than favoring those that are willing to create a state-corporate collusion (aka fascism) a lot of these problems wouldn't be occurring. California is thoroughly fucked because they have a thoroughly fascist government running the state.
