Should we start banning golf courses because they waste so much water for people to just play a game.
-
"...if it's not taxed, it's illegal". tell that to huge corporate entities that don't pay taxes yet still operate with a hugely visible nationwide presence.
-
He said this isn’t a race issue- “We have to focus where we have the biggest impact” proceeds to target Mong farmers. How else are you supposed to take that? That interview proves he doesn’t care and is only interested in his own self serving bullshit. He forgot to even give a message to the people the question was about.
-
That prayer at the beginning tells me everything I need to know about the leaders of that town.
-
Meanwhile Nestle is still allowed to bottle and sell California reservoir water and over bottles the amount they are contracted for.
-
There’s an old saying dating back to homesteading days “In the West, whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting”
-
It's not about race... Words the sheriff used, "third world country", "quality of life" (apparently it gets better without water), "...my opinion, which hopefully is taken as truth" Facts are facts. You know the world is fucked when authorities ask ppl to take their OPINION as TRUTH (FACTS). The language tells alot. Opinions are opinions, not facts.
-
Funny how the cop doesn’t know the harmful chemicals or the outcome it does to the environment.. he’s just believing what he’s told with no research behind it lol they’re goofy
-
The officer using a gas mask around cannabis plants is the most hilarious thing I've seen today
-
"nothing to hide why are you running?" maybe cause a bunch of dudes with AR's breaking down the front door doesnt sound as fun to them.
-
I'm all for legalization but growing commercially must be done responsibly. Those chemicals are a real factor and I'm certain they're not being handled properly by people everywhere. A tale as old as time.
-
"It's like a third world country out there".., as if their ancestors did not come from Europe and looted this vast bountiful land which rightfully belongs to Native American people. Remember the sayings, 'You can't have your cake and eat it too'. 🥺 😉
-
i like how the sheriff says “how do you tax this” like they don’t already sell licenses and tax other plants like tobacco.
-
“You can’t grow marijuana for your community, only big companies can do that.”
-
"why are you running if you have nothing to hide?" because your rolling in with a small army & rifles with intent to kill or throw them in prison for 20+ years lmao
-
This video doesn't get into the deeper issue at hand: The lack of and need for water throughout the state
-
This immigrant targeting is exactly how weed got criminalized to begin with.
-
"It's like a third world country out there" So lets just take away their water, that should sort them out.
-
In Minnesota,we were the first state to have moung community settlers, they are farmers, very different that It S farmers. California is the worst state for immigrants, these people who are doing what they have done for centuries. I feel for these hard working men
