California’s Perpetual Drought Is Manmade and Intentional

Writes Brian Dunaway:

This stunning depiction of water management in the State of California reminds me of the adage, “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” As California state “policy” is blindly driven by environmentalism, one might argue that state water management is best characterized as an admixture of both malice and stupidity.

I’m also reminded of one of my favorite movies, the film noir classic Chinatown. This film seems to prefigure the current state of California’s water management, rife with corruption, and the intentional waste of water through diversion and runoff into the Pacific to ultimately benefit a few wealthy oligarchs.

The current motives are far wackier. Just don’t try to make sense of it. “Forget it, Jake. It’s Chinatown.”
