Went thru a similar discussion on another thread It's hard to get too worked up about the "water crises" in the PNW Obviously there are gigantic sources of fresh water free for the taking, but they might have to cough up some infrastructure spending to manage it......god forbid.. You have these competing "no tax" states that might need to fund these facilities Oregon doesn't do sales tax, Washington gives a pass on income ..so when I hear this poor mouthing about lack of water, its hard to sympathize, when you live in an area that has no visible source of water other than the Colorado River, which has no measurable discharge to the ocean Major areas of the Southwest are constantly facing the possibility of a bona fide migration event over water .. there is no mighty river dumping billions of gallons of fresh water, by the hour, into the ocean ..that is as near as a pipeline project a fraction of the size of Keystone to the affected areas

Last Monday, the prime minister strolled through the stalls, but didn’t invite reporters along. Campaign staffers say Netanyahu’s security was the reason, but political analysts believe that the Likud was more worried about the prime minister being heckled, in an area considered a bellwether for politicians on the right. Netanyahu stopped for a cappuccino in the market and paid with a 100-shekel note, worth about $30 dollars. The cafe’s owner, who apparently wasn’t much of a fan, gave the prime minister his change — 87 shekels — in small coins. She wanted to make a point about what she thought was the most pressing election issue: the economy. The shopkeeper, identified as Orit by Channel 2, said, “We, the independent business owners in the country, are aware of the daily difficulties of getting by, even for small change.” cbc.ca
