urban water use (lawns, pools, showers, etc) makes up 10% of californias water use. Agriculture, which makes up 2% of Californias GDP, uses 40%.

it's even worse than that, they use more water than rice to grow hay (which is then fed to animals).

I'm very hopeful that Hawaii is the first state to declare the virus eradicated on our islands, since it would mean we could actually restart industry and turn our island into a more industrial one. Of course our dumbass governor will open our doors to tourists asap with no precautions and we will immediately have the worst infection rate in the world.

Don't believe the hype. California has enough water, we are just very bad at using it to sustain human life instead of megafarmer profits

i don't think so? they will just not pay rent for a bit. what are the landlords going to do, lease the property to another restaurant?

i just remembered this article from a few decades ago, earlier this month, about a weed shop opening in metro boston and how excited the owners were. they got all of two weeks sales in before having to close for covid. apparently the dispensaries are having to cut way back since they shut retail sales. most are looking at dropping about half of their staff or more. what a time to open a business though
