Summary
California officials warned that Trump’s order to release massive amounts of water nearly caused severe flooding for farmers.
Trump boasted about the move, claiming it would help fight wildfires, but experts said the water couldn’t reach affected areas, which are over 200 miles away.
The Army Corps of Engineers initially planned to release water at maximum capacity but scaled back after urgent pushback.
Experts warned the water could have been better used months later for irrigation.
No just the blue states who dont like him
Edit: keyword “trying.” Hes trying to fuck the blue states. yall down voting me into oblivion like trump doesnt have a clear vendetta against calfiornia. Yea, hes hurting the whole country as collateral damage, but lets not pretend that parts on purpose. Hes an idiot who has never understood the ramifications of his decisions. This orange turd see and opportunity to hurt california , and he takes it becuase its California, not because hes smart enough to understand
Edit 2: in this same thread is a Comment that says “hes just trying to destroy california” with clear upvotes. Has lemmy become the reddit hive mind already? Sheesh
Destroying the nation’s food supply by flooding fields, deporting the workers, and imposing tarrifs on outside sources of food is objectively bad for the entire nation, and the only people who could possibly benefit are America’s global adversaries.
Even if Trump is too stupid to know it, the rest of his administration is not. The fact that they haven’t enacted the 25th amendment is a clear indication that hurting America is the goal.
A hungry crowd is an angry mob, and I’m increasingly worried this will end in mass violence.
Worried? Mass violence feels like my only hope at this point.
I’m hoping it ends in mass class violence
“Man will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”
The rest of his administration is absolutely as stupid as he is. After his last cycle he has purged anyone remotely competent.
There are very smart but evil people working in his administration.
You just don’t see them giving speeches.
Also they have to interact with both Musk and Trump on a regular basis, so lets be honest here theyre probably on liquor rotation to keep them from quiting. Prolly have three teams where at any given time two of the teams are blackout drunk.
Nah, bruv. Where does all of our domestic fruit and veg, and crops like almonds come from? California. The San Joaquin Valley. Who eats that stuff? You do. All of us. The plan is to fuck America. Why does trump do anything at all? To fuck America. That’s his job.
This the answer. California is one of our prize jewels for sure. If Vlad can monkey wrench that, it will do a lot of damage.
I hope you have fun while you starve.
