California

The founders did not intend by that phrase what liberals now interpret it to mean.

Typical frustrated liberal response.

To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.

I think California’s doing just fine… we are the number one economy in the U.S. We are an economy larger than that of Russia as well as France and a number of other European countries.

Look, I know you're not even remotely interested in facts, but you're ignoring every major study done to date on this subject.

"Public health insurance" is not "single-payer." Obamacare had NOTHING to do with single-payer; it was lobbied for and achieved by the insurance companies to produce for themselves a "captive audience," just as car-insurance companies enjoy. Obamacare "reformed" nothing and was not about the "public welfare" or "public health."

Nothing about Obamacare was a "step in the direction" of single-payer. The two approaches are apples-and-giraffes.

Also, single payer healthcare would relieve all of corporate America of a big cost to them. This in fact is one of the *benefits* of single payer.

what do you think that problem is?

The linked hydro-economic model is used to simulate the effects of several drought
scenarios on Central Valley’s agriculture and the groundwater resources. The drought
scenarios are constructed as surface flow reductions that range from 30% to 70% for
periods spanning from 10 to 60 years, with a 10-year spin-up and a 30-year recovery.
The main finding is that Central Valley agriculture as a whole is resilient to severe drought.

Despite an almost 40% cut in surface water deliveries for irrigation, the region
suffers only a 10% cut in irrigated crop acres. However, after 60 critically dry years in a
row, the linked model suggests that there will be regional impacts, including moderate
impacts in the north Central Valley (Sacramento River Basin), locally severe in the middle of the Valley (San Joaquin River Basin), and severe in the south (Tulare Basin). The model runs indicate that extensive pumping during such a drought can cause permanent subsidence and may lead to new equilibrium groundwater levels.
