In California, entire farming towns have to truck water around, every week, so that people have enough to get by. Central Valley wells are dry and even the land itself has been sinking--likely about to set off another pop music craze, even unrelated to the recent college fraternity music festival events. It will again be the rich being rich, and getting rich.

In response to the drought, there is a compare and contrast, even in a county like Los Angeles. It is not just one city. The rich have their own municipalities--Santa Monica, Malibu, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, and on and on, are famous, and of over seventy separate cities called, "Los Angeles." City of Los Angeles uses about the same amount of water as it did 40 years ago, with one million more people. The various other cities are using upwards of five times and more water, per capita, than most of the rest of LA County.

And there are other famous rich counties. So "Drought(?)! But I have enough water(?)!" is more of what the problem now making national news is all about. The Rich are expressively personally exempt from the drought. No restrictions have been evident at all, in the high per capita water usage rich enclaves. The description is that of a glaring example of "The moral and cultural isolation of the rich." The recovery has been uneven, and that has been noticed. The new rich are exempt, they think, from everything.

Compare and contrast. The Midterm elections were between rich Democrats unable to name the President of the United States(?), and rich Republicans of the social agenda kind of stripe, exploiting even pig genitalia. Now The Republican winners have discovered the gap between their agenda, and what it is really, that everyone else wants to have happen. Pig genitals are really not an issue. Human genital behaviors are really not an issue.

The Great Recession would have been a Great Depression, except that the Clintons won. The Reagan Revolution had sent deficit money to the rich, leaving the poor behind. Bill Clinton became noticed as possibly the first African American President in history. The poor were participant in the economy. Bush/Cheney went the same road as the Reagan Revolution--adding direct military atrocity, plus the spending. The Poor were left behind, or blown to bits. Obama-Biden happened. . .mostly slowly(?).

Now, just last week, business leaders are outraged at the Republican Agenda. McDonalds is following other large chains with pay raises, above the Minimum Wage.

The Governors of Indiana and Arkansas are surprised at the public outrage, and even in their own households. In contrast, the Governor of California has created an agenda for the state as a whole, using an emergency authority.

And likely the GOP Central Valley has noticed, even already.
