Water Wars And I Woke Up On The Wrong Side Of Bed

Tweet

I was going to do a less serious post, but read a news report, and realized I am grumpy. I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It happens. Anyway, the news agencies here In California have been shaming people who have been purposely stealing or just using to much water. The latest victim is celebrities in general. I am not a fan of shaming. I do not think it works. It just makes people more determined to be set in their ways. That is why over half of the comments on the news report seemed to not care or support the celebrities water use. As long as they had the money to pay for the fine for using extra water. You know because money solves everything. Have a problem just throw some money at it. You want to get away with something, but is against the law for most mere mortals. Throw some money at it. Basically, saying to the rest of us stooges that they earned it by working harder. So they deserve special privilege. Meanwhile, the people making minimum wage working two to three jobs. You just need to work harder and learn how to abuse the system better. Then you can also have a huge house where most of the rooms are nothing more than storage. A huge yard with greed plush grass and huge swimming pools filled to the top with clean water. Just made me grumpy because I learned that double standards are allowed by working and working poor people themselves. They are the ones that allow themselves to be taken advantage of by backing the people who are the ones sticking it to them. Making their lives much harder than it needs to be. When and if the water rums out here in California. The working and working poor will be the first to run out of water. Simply because they said just grease us up and we will look the other way. Now they have money for an extra week to make ends meet or to go blow at the local bar. In the mean time the problem did not get solved and was made worse. This fake superficial mindset is enough to make a man grumpy.
