Really, I can start there, huh? I'm very familiar with the manipulation of water in Western U.S. 

Yea, but did you know it was the conservative farmers who first pushed for the idea that federal water be used to help fish in the Delta?

They didn't tell you that?

It's true. I'll dm.you if.tou want whe my draft is done.next week.

They're all crying now. But their parents and grandparents sold the state and the nation the idea to get a dam built. That was the last major dam built in the american west. Because it's turned out to not have lived up to the projections. 

If @AztecAlien really wants to talk about faild water policies, he can start there. 

I can start there, huh? I am very aware of water manipulation in the Western U.S.

pretty much true of most states.  Infrastructure in the South and Texas is crumbling

I can vouch for that. The cause of the 2021 winter power failures was neglected infrastructure. 
 

and yes, AA, I do have some knowledge on the subject.

See above... 

If you want to blame someone for failed water policies, you should start with the conservative agricultural interests in the state who have historically dominated water policy and continue to have an outsized amount of power despite what year hear on Fox News.

So now it's the FOX News go to. 

Pretty sure I wasn't paying attention to FOX News in my geography classes while I was reading Cadillac Desert and other information and research on this topic of water in the Western U.S.

I don't make baseless claims on topics that I don't have a working knowledge or a source that trust. You should adopt the same policy.

Urban sprawl due to a lack of supply on the housing front.

Housing costs are crazy, and it's largely a supply issue.  Which leads to the sprawl.  How and why are we running out of safe areas of land? 

I'm accused of not knowing what I'm talking about, then this gets posted.

So, now I'm sticking my foot in my mouth regarding my knowledge of the devastating effects of urban sprawl. Ok.

Not playing your game of asking questions and then crickets when you don't like my answers. It's what you do.

sorry, I don't believe you've ever attempted to sincerely answer a question

I don't believe you actually have any answers, just complaints

 

how do we combat urban sprawl?

tighter zoning laws? seems like we've tried that and it just drives up cost

I've answered your questions and others many times, then you disappear because it's the answer you didn't like and then claim I didn't try. Just another one of your go to's.

You're a self-admitted troll.

As to your add-ons. Sorry, I sincerely believe you're a lying troll that really doesn't bring anything to an argument except for encouraging the other trolls to show up with nothing to add as well.

Nobody knows western water issues like Trump.  He has the biggest brain and he was the only one clairvoyant enough to know that all that was required to fix everything was to open one simple valve.   Why is everyone else so stupid?

 

Yup, he's so smart that he knew those two jet tragedies were going to happen in advance.  That's why he was ready to blame Pete B.  The orange blob is never wrong.  The poor bastard wanted to fight in Vietnam in the worst way, but was tremendously disappointed and disgusted that he was denied the draft because of deadly bone spurs.  I don't care, he'll always be my war hero in absentia.
