[(Anonymous)]

Should have waited anon. News has come out that he bought it legally and someone dropped the ball on reporting it to others.

Not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Legal or not, it is still a disgusting waste of water in a drought.

Re: Not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Is it? It is for a farm.

Re: Not OP

[(Anonymous)]

I suspect most people would rather have more water than avocados. I would, and I friggin' love avocados.

Re: Not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Is the OP suggesting he should have thrown away this year's crop, and every year there's a drought from now on?

Does the OP want all fruit farms to be banned? I'm not from California, so I'm genuinely asking if this has been proposed.

Re: Not OP

[(Anonymous)]

Growing food is not a waste of water. Lawns are a waste of water. Priorities, fellow human. Criticizing people for making food, especially raw ingredients, is NOT progressive.

Re: Not OP

[(Anonymous)]

I don't want to get into too much depth here because this is an incredibly complex issue

but this is an incredibly fucking complex issue, and given that fact, blanket statements like this are dumb as hell

more specifically, the idea that the water shortage could be wholly ameliorated by stopping watering lawns and golf courses is almost certainly just wrong; there's strong evidence to suggest that the California agricultural sector's water practices are deeply wasteful; and if ensuring high food production is a progressive end goal, so is ensuring that people in cities have enough water to drink and wash themselves, and ensuring that we don't totally destroy the entire ecosystem of California - there are basically no endpoints in this equation that *aren't* progressive values on some level

[(Anonymous)]

Ehhhh, it was still kind of dodgy, tbh. Construction companies have special permits to draw water for building projects and some of them turn around to sell it to a third party. It's legal, but given California's drought conditions and the fact that Selleck, a very wealthy man, is using a limited resource for his avocado farm, it's still on shaky ethical ground.

[(Anonymous)]

I didn't realize you were clued into the financial status of Tom Selleck.

[(Anonymous)]

You don't have to be very clued in to realize that someone who's been a famous actor since the 80s and who owns a 60 acre ranch in southern California is rich, anon. He's getting $150,00 per episode on his current series. At the rate of 22 episodes per season, that's 3.3 million for that show alone.

[(Anonymous)]

Then subtract taxes, then subtract maintaining that farm.

[(Anonymous)]

If you're arguing that a rich person who will earn more than 3 million this year alone (not including other paid work and investments) paying taxes makes them not rich, I'm not sure you quite understand how taxation and wealth works in the U.S.

[(Anonymous)]

I am actually relieved to hear this.
