Do I believe that? Not really, but it seems to make people feel better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Y'all are missing the important part.... Stand by for an announcement from Emperor Gavin's Fortress of Solitude: In light of the geologic instability of the region, there will be a cessation of uncontrolled drilling of water wells. Obviously, existing wells and the extraction of drinking water has been the leading cause of "Tectonic Change" - reduction of water in the ground creates more friction along faults. Faults cannot slip smoothly and major 'quakes are more likely. To this end, new wells will have to be approved and will require payment of heavy fees to the state. These monies will be used to aid immigration services. To ameliorate the obvious and devastating effect of existing ag and domestic wells, every active well will require an annual inspection and will be taxed accordingly. New wells will require meters, and existing wells will require meters to be retrofitted when having major service performed (new pump or pump motor). Monies collected will be used to fund committees to issue proclamations on climate change. Since new reservoirs are prohibited, much water consumed by communities comes from wells. Presently, a glass of water can be served in a restaurant only if requested, under the new guidelines/requirements the glass of water will be charged for and that money will go to the State. These monies will be used to fund Social Justice Warriors of Los Angeles and San Francisco counties; excess funds will be disbursed to members of the State Legislature. Camping and hiking must be controlled - the vibrations of booted and flip-flop shod feet can trigger tectonic events. Therefor, such activities will be allowed only in certain areas at certain times and fees will be collected. This will be necessary to avoid disturbing the delicate balance of plate tectonics. Monies collected will be directed to aid funding of the High Speed Rail project. Also, a statewide increase in gasoline tax will be emplaced to fund the creation of agencies to oversee the collection and spending of these "new" monies. So sayeth the Emperor! Hey... don't laugh! It COULD happen!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Shapiro Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 We're just East of all the hot air in Sacramento (which would probably fill Widder's hot air balloon). Didn't feel any of the shaking. I think it could only have been felt in San Fran if someone was up 16 stories in a tall building, rather than on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Nuisance is the same dumbarse that wants everyone to drive electric cars but tells us all to be prepared for power blackouts. I hope I never meet him…I don’t want to go to jail with crap splattered all over myself. I swear I will b**** slap that piece of excrement.
