Fucking farmer propaganda. The Newsom isn’t responsible for this bun fuckery. That’s entirely the talking point of the giant corporate farms paying for ads to sway the idiots. The reality is that farms pay pennies for multiple Olympic sized pools worth of water. A home in the state that doesn’t dump water all over dirt and do nothing for months has to pay a hundred, at least, each month. Farms need to pay their fair share.

Or maybe don’t grow stupid shit like almonds and alfalfa where the majority is exported
if it’s an export crop, it’s like exporting the water itself.
My whole comment doing the math was inspired by me hearing people saying stuff like this, thinking it must be hyperbole…
Your statement technically is, an olympic swimming pool is about 660k gallons…
That would cost a farmer about $40.
But it would cost an LA resident about $1850.
Fucking bonkers.
Like… I can see some level of subsidy, but not nearly 50x.
