You really must take a course of reading comprehension and RETENTION : what I said about India is that in huge sections of that Country after the yearly monsoons they experience reduced rainfall. So what they have done is to have competition in those arid regions to improve water retention with various methods like swales and ponds to help improve the regional aquifers. Some of the Bollywood stars give prizes to the winners. It's working and proven by NASA photos !
Naturally you disregard the fact of the Biden's administrations drive towards reducing the cattle herd in the USA, because of their release of methane gases into the air. That was THE MAIN driver of the estimated reduction of the total herd. Cattlemen will tell anyone that askes, that it takes a MINIMUM of 3 years in the reproductive cycle to have a meaningful increase in the estimated total.
Just accept that a Phys Ed Major from Syracuse knows more about water management than a Water Major from UI.
IF we are talking about the same property ? It tells me that the owners either;1. don't want to sell or 2. they are hoping for a city slicker to come along.
Here are 2 Billionaires that purchased actual Western properties; 1. Head of Fox purchased a cattle ranch out West for $ 200,000,000 million 2 or so years ago, 2. Billionaire purchased a small holding in New Mexico = 1,000,000 million acres last year.
A Million acres, that's a lot of space for a data center !
I used to frequent a store in West Palm that allowed you to store your cigars/humidor or buy a favorite and drink Port while smoking your favorite stogie.
I never smoked a cigar, but liked the smell of good Cuban.
The taste of a decent Port from maybe 1947 was a good thing !
My John was friends with McCain Jr at USNA and they graduated same year. He would be invited over to the McCain residence for dinners.
Obumma was Pres and gave the speech and shook hands with the USNA grads. There was a ramp that the grads would use to exit the stage. Sen and Mrs were sitting right at the base of the ramp. There is a tradition that whomever you give your first salute after commissioning to gets a Silver Dollar ! I told John if he gave that first salute to the Senator, I would give John a $ 100 bill !
He declined saying he didn't want to be stationed in Greenland !
His first salute...another McCain Son at USNA !
The principal reservoir is STILL EMPTY 1 1/2 years later.
Not a potable water source !
Nobody is running out of water, what they are running out of; is the knowledge to FIX the issues.
Don't forget the millions of birds projected to be killed by the turning windmills !
We haven't used up too much fresh water, we just need to be smart about it's use.
I am curious if RDS would be named as VP for Rubio before the primary if that would give Rubio the edge over Vance. I too am just glad we will have some very competent candidates.
Take a look at the new TMO CEO. Plenty of US jobs have been lost while outsourcing(Egypt among other places) and H1Bs become common.
Now, there is a debate to be had about the expense associated with the US employee. HR enforcing FMLA and all these employee protections has made employee expenses unreasonable. I know someone than just sat through an HR update at their company. They now have two weeks paid leave if you become a grandparent. I think I had half a day off when my boys were born. Unintended consequences of over coddling employees is less jobs as smart corps find ways to use less US employees.

I went to the Cubs/Rangers game in Dallas this weekend. We had a few drinks at Texas Live(an amazing venue) before the game Saturday. Our very friendly bartender made the comment of how scared she is for when the World Cup fans come in from South America to party. I asked if they were really that rowdy and she replied she was concerned about them spreading the hantavirus. I stated that I was under the impression this is generally a rodent problem not human to human. We will see.

From Bill O
But few are concerned about perjury. Ask any attorney. You can fabricate all you want; nobody much cares.
The American people, generally speaking, also don’t care about truthful press reporting. CBS News is in open rebellion. So what? The View is under government scrutiny. Big deal. Fox News is facing another massive voting machine lawsuit. Yawn.
We are a country that is being misled, conned, manipulated. What else is new?
Last week, the Reuters News Agency, generally hostile to the Trump Administration, released an article that said the USA launched the Iranian conflict when it didn’t have to. The piece said U.S. intelligence knew Iran wasn’t all that close to weaponizing uranium, so the attacks were unwarranted.
The Reuters headline reads: “Iran No Further from Nuclear Weapon than Before War.”
The reporting in the story is absurd. All anonymous sources. Here’s some wording:
- “According to three sources familiar with the matter.”
- “All of whom requested anonymity to discuss US intelligence.”
- “The unchanged estimates (on the nuke construction timeline) may also stem from a lack of major nuclear targets that can be readily and safely destroyed following last June’s military action, ACCORDING TO SOME ANALYSTS.
Some analysts? Who might those be? That lazy description is followed by “as far as we know,” “probably located,” and “it is possible.”
This Reuters reporting gives the word “shoddy” new meaning.
Nevertheless, it was picked up and peddled by the far left MS operation as well as NewsNation, and the Japan Times, among others. Surprisingly, the American corporate media stayed away from the journalistic malpractice even though it was apparently designed to hurt Trump.
And here’s the kicker: two days after the Reuters atrocity, The Wall Street Journal
reported the exact opposite Iran-nuke scenario.
The headline: “U.S., Israeli Strikes Set Back Iran’s Ability to Build Nuclear Weapon.”
The Journal cites a new report by the Institute for Science and International Security, quoting directly from it. No anonymous BS. The WSJ cites the scientific organization as saying six Iranian nuclear sites have been effectively bombed since the conflict began on February 28.
I guess Reuters missed ISIS’s report, the wire service being too busy tracking down those anonymous sources.
It doesn’t take Edward R. Murrow to figure out what Reuters is up to. And media falsehoods are aggressively protected by the First Amendment.
However, the giant takeaway is that “we the people” are now being routinely deceived on vital matters by an ideological and corrupt press. And many of us don’t even care.
No anonymity on that; you can quote me.

The Northeast and Southwest are completely different. New York farms are being impacted by poor decisions by politicians. Southwest farmers are more impacted by the lack of rain.
You will never hear me say that northeast farmers are struggling because of a lack of water. It’s a big country, and different parts of the country face different issues.
I looked this up (as best one can on the internet) and apparently the Federal tax subsidies for solar are available for commercial sites as long as they are completed by end of 2027. Upstate NY doesn't make a lot of sense because the amount of sunshine. But economics was never the goal with solar in cloudy climates or even sunny ones.
Yes, a lot of these solar companies are trying to get projects completed and then plan on liquifying once the subsidies go away. I talked to an owner recently and he spelled that out for me. Then he laughed and said he will invest in something else that the govt will subsidize.
You should write in Ron DeSantis since this guy has zero chance to win. That's how it is done in squish world.
Seems like fair play with Soros/Obama meeting old Mark Carney for private talks.
I fail to understand the main stream efforts to hurt President Trump in articles/phony pools, unless they believe he will run again, like I hope !
He clearly isn't making decisions from polling or the left wing printed pages !
But what he BELIEVES is best for America and then the World.
Read the Amendment it like a lot of law was poorly written from Congress it's ambiguous, open for interpretation.
Nor will you hear anyone who understands water management say that the Northeast is struggling from lack of water, even potable water.
Our camp up in the Adirondacks was built on a spring fed lake, the camp in the 1920's.
One of under 30 camps on a 6 mile by 2 mile lake with no rise or fall of water levels.
Today OVER 100 years later the lakes water can be drank without filters, although our camps drinking water goes thru a one stage filter for any beaver issues, just in case.
It's too repetitive for knowledgeable persons to try to educate you.
Orange County is not Upstate NY, except those unfamiliar with NY. But a mile from my home W of WP, there are 3 notable issues. 1. 450 acre vegetable farm, buy all your necessary veggies for $ 35 a month, even winter, 2. huge solar panel farm, carved out of a larger apple orchard, 3. brand new, multi-million electric generation facility that uses natural gas. NY State has not issued it a license to operate, so it sits there.
This is the state of the State of NY's politicians !
My Sister # 3 had a Prius with the 55 MPG range. She traded it in for an SUV, with half the MPG !
Her reason ? The SUV had more carrying capacity for her quarterly trips to the PX for cases of stuff, like TP and Tide !
Go figure !
I can’t see RDS being VP. He has executive desk experience and was Captain of the college baseball team. His foreign policy isn’t Trump’s. That is Vance’s biggest flaw.
But…they still have the same employment law with the H1B. Illinois is still going require PLAWA for example. WC is higher in IL than surrounding states. The individual state governments in blue states, Obamacare, etc, are bigger causes of cost. It’s just an excuse to not to keep US employees. Half of these H1B’s from India are coming over because an Indian exec at an American corporation lays off US workers just to bring in more Indians. They are gaming the H1B. H1B needs to not be a thing. Also Democrats do not learn. Our economy is kicking European butt. We do not have all the employment regulations that the Euros have that keep their productivity down. Unfortunately, Democrats think working the fry station at McDonalds is worth the same as someone roofing a house.
We’ve been down this road before. It isn’t ambiguous at all.
