Why can't we ship water from the East Coast...

104. We could look at it that way, but that would make us Retrumplicans

I don't want to put words in the OPs mouth, but I don't think all that they are saying is "ship water to California".

I think that all that's being suggested is some sort of Strategic Water Reserve that can be combined with other options to help mitigate the problem.

To me, water reserves would be one part combined with other actions, such as

- Better crop management to ensure less water consuming products.
- Desalination plants to convert sea water to usuable agriculture water.
- More water conservation programs.
- Action on Climate Change.

When 100 year floods occur in the Midwest, we don't tell people to move out of the Midwest.

Some of these posts are embarrassing. This country used to, and can again do great and difficult things.

The suggestion that millions of Californians simply move, is no different than telling people to drink bleach and shine a flashlight up their asses in response to a deadly pandemic.

It may be too costly, but we have been making our own fresh water in the middle of the ocean for decades. Who knows what innovations could be discovered to make desalination a viable option. Let's not forget that at one time, the power I hold in a small device in my hand, occupied entire buildings.

That's all I'm saying. Perhaps the answer is out there.

Look at the space program. Were the advances we've made in Science, Math, Physics, Engineering, Communications, etc., worth the investment?

We'll never know what's achievable if we don't try.

The easy way is the Retrumplican way..."you're all on your own"
