In the capital of Arizona – with extreme temperatures that can reach 122°F during the day and don’t drop below 90°F at night – life is almost impossible. If blackouts were to knock out the air-conditioning, nearly half the population could end up hospitalized
You realize California is on the ocean, right? Desalination is a solvable engineering problem, and one that becomes more viable the worse things get. Especially if they’re no longer beholden to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission
I googled it and it looks like ~80% of their water comes from within the state, and the rest mostly comes from Colorado, and I guess those guys wouldn’t object to a water deal even in case of secession. Not sure if secession is even possible in US though.
“4.5 million residents are living in hell”
I thought the population of the United States was much more than 4.5 million. Oh well, live and learn.
Not all of the US is hell; I hear the future New California Republic (once they balkanize, expect it within our lifetimes) is nice.

Desalination can provide drinking water, but you aren’t going to irrigate crops with desalination.

I’d be much happier selling our water to California than to the Saudis growing alfalfa in the desert.
DAE AMERICA BAD?!?!?!
I’m so smart because I can see flaws with my country. So much better than all those normies.
I chuckled.
