Looters, arson, water, anything to distract from the fact that they've had this coming for decades and done dick to stop it
They will try everything except stopping climate change and taking water back from the oligarchs, which will turn out to be the real problem. But of course, that's impossible in capitalism.
Wait until the general public learns how most systems are gravity driven.
A tip if you want your water to come back quickly after an outage. Live well downhill from the reservoir. You'll get your water back much sooner than anyone else. I know this from personal experience, got my water back within hours, while others waited for days or even weeks
Ooh ooh! I know this one! It's because you built a city for millions in the desert and have spent decades stealing water from elsewhere at insane cost and then using it to make an infinite supply of golf courses.
🎶there it is, again🎶
🎶that funny feeling🎶
You know how hard it is to get a decent tee time in LA?
By the way, there is a golf course in Death Fucking Valley.

and the San Joaquin valley is subsiding at like AN INCH PER YEAR because of sucking out all the groundwater
A new study shows land in California's San Joaquin Valley has been sinking at record-breaking rates over the last two decades as groundwater extraction has outpaced natural recharge. The researchers found that the average rate of sinking for the entire valley reached nearly an inch per year between 2006 and 2022.

DWP spokesperson Ellen Cheng said, “We appreciate the Governor’s letter and believe that an investigation will help identify any new needed capabilities for water systems to support fighting wildfires.”
So Newsom will blame his bureaucracy and the bureaucracy will blame Newsom for underfunding public infrastructure.
Probe what? It's already public knowledge, they just need to grandstand about it to make the public feel like they're doing something
It was offline to repair damage to its cover. Without an intact cover it can't legally be used as drinking water.
