gee, what could go wrong with this plan? SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California water agencies could soon turn wastewater into drinking water. The California Water Resources Control Board on Tuesday approved new rules for turning water from toilets and other uses into drinking water. State officials believe the rules will help the drought-prone state have a more reliable source of drinking water. California is the second state to approve statewide regulations for the direct use of recycled wastewater. Colorado approved similar regulations last year. The rules require water agencies to let customers know before they start doing this. Water agencies in San Diego and Los Angeles already have plans to recycle wastewater.

Wharfie, have left us with a 3.7% unemployment rate. I'm all in favor of increased LEGAL immigration to make up for shortfalls in labor. However, the unemployment rate these days is low because too many people have left the workforce. It's a combination of baby boomers who are retiring as well as working age people who have left the job market in pursuit of other interests. In other words, the low unemployment rate, and the resulting inflation (which admittedly is going down, but not for long) is mainly due to demographics. The solution, as I have mentioned many times before, is expanded LEGAL immigration. Unfortunately, people like me who favor expanded legal immigration while opposing illegal immigration are in the minority, and we're often lumped into the same MAGA crowd as the white nationalists.
