ParticipantIf I remember correctly from the news reports, a lot of the water cutbacks for CA farmers are due to the need to protect a certain fish–a type of smelt, I believe.
Because it is allegedly an endangered species, the water cannot be diverted towards agriculture as this will hurt the remaining smelt. Farmers need to get smart and be declared an endangered species.EconProf

ParticipantLet’s remember that CA’s teachers are the highest paid in the nation, on average. Even higher cost-of-living states on the East Coast pay less.
Admittedly, their job here is tougher because our average class sizes are well above the nation’s average (that is why our overall k – 12 education spending is in about the middle compared to other states).
Some years ago the unions had a choice between higher pay with larger class sizes, and lower class sizes and lower pay. They chose the former. So much for caring about the welfare of the kids!EconProf

ParticipantTG: I follow economic and demographic indicators very closely, and you’ve just exposed a terrific one: Tooth Count by state.
From the rankings, it looks like a very reliable indicator of health and socioeconomic well-being. Except I’m a little surprised CA is ranked so high–I would have guessed we would fall somewhere in the middle.EconProf

ParticipantYou are very good at hating.
You have spouted non-sequiturs and displayed prejudices that only cloistered graduate students can have.
Go. Please. Go. -
