  1. no joke. many people in the comments don't seem to understand the real issues involved here. This was not a good piece by Vice, really.
    2
  2. conservatives who put a rancher... the people who converted the entire area into growing ALFALFA, ffs, in charge of managing the resource. very much like Trump put a leading oil company lobbyist in charge of the EPA.
    2
  3. blame the right wing rancher who actually SAID THAT in the piece, don't blame Vice.
    2
  4. far left?  wtf?  someone needs to change the damn title.

  5. conservatives clearly do not understand what the word "irony" even means, let alone being able to use it properly.
    1
  6. it is, in fact, why I left 15 years ago. I saw this coming. no regrets.
    1
  7. the "poor" farmer in this case are actually alfalfa growers working for the ranching industry. which of course is why right wingers in Utah put a rancher in charge of managing it.
    1
  8. into alfalfa food for cows.
    1
  9. that's outright misinformation. it's the quotas that are the problem.
    1
  10. ?? how in the hell is right wing utah managing water with a damn RANCHER Biden's fault, exactly? nutter.
    1
  11. relics of lots of forestry and mining.
    1
  12. alfalfa is the primary product grown there. you want to try again?
    1
  13. oh wait, here's the punchline, ignorant twit: the vast amount of "agriculture" in the area is growing alfalfa.... for export to China. the state itself doesn't see a PENNY of that profit.
    1
  14. you... are nuts. seek evaluation sooner rather than later, before you pick up a gun and shoot somebody.
    1
  15. the primary crop in that area is alfalfa. wanna try again?
    1
  16. they are growing alfalfa. when is the last time you ate a big bowl of alfalfa?
    1
  17. are you familiar with hiding drugs in sandwiches? sure sounds like it.
    1
  18. you first?
    1
  19. meh.
    1
  20. you have that reversed, numbnuts.
    1
  21. it has been for decades. you just catching up?
    1
  22. i'd rather there be time for my kids and their kids though.
    1
  23. you might then wonder why the REPUBLICAN government of the state of Utah has never ever asked for federal money to help fix this problem... until now.
    1
  24. he's a rancher. he lies to keep his job appointed to him by the right wing governor.
    1
  25. u can use your eyeballs, buddy. or just keep lying to yourself. must be working great for you.
    1
  26. delusional much?
    1
  27. there is no jesus. if you're going to repent, then do it and really CHANGE.
    1
  28. uh, the GoP in that state are getting kickbacks from the ranchers who took over agricultural production there and turned into alfalfa that they ship overseas to China. that's why.
    1
  29. that's what you get when you put a rancher in charge of water usage. like Trump put an oil lobbyist in charge of the EPA.
    1
  30. moving water is something that has been done for a long, long time. look at the viaducts in CA that move water north to south. But... those were expensive to make even back then. who is going to pay the billions (yes, billions) of dollars it will take to make something like that happen now? are you willing to pay for it? most won't accept responsibility any more.
    1
  31. they make what we need... alfalfa is what we need? how about Brawndo, is that what we need?
    1
  32. they are literally using that water allotment to grow alfalfa to export to China. wanna try again?
    1
  33.  @turinthalion8784  spotted the ignorant racist.
    1
  34. ask the rancher who the quote was taken from. dimwit.
    1
  35. utah did not ASK for money from the feds to fix the problem. the state doesn't even admit there IS a problem. that is what you get when you get religious conservatives running things.
    1
  36. and 3/4 of the land that is on fire is indeed national forest land.
    1
  37. good answer.
    1
  38. "food we consume and need" 80% of agricultural water in the area is used to produce alfalfa. when is the last time you had a good bowl of alfalfa for dinner, eh?
    1
  39. 100% correct.
    1
  40. like your head is 80% rock?
    1
  41. the "farmers" in this case are actually ranchers who only grow alfalfa. who are represented by the guy the state chose to "manage" the issue you saw interviewed. get a clue.
    1
  42. spotted the racist^
    1
  43. indians were growing alfalfa? nutter.
    1
  44. "It’s nobody’s water" then why are the ranchers who ship their profits to china so deadset on "conserving their water rights"?
    1
  45. if you're completely ignorant, that apparently is what serves as an "intelligent" argument these days.
    1
  46. turn that lamp on yourself there, buddy.
    1
  47. The people growing in that area are not farmers. they are ranchers, growing alfalfa, to export to China. YES, they ARE responsible. your ignorance is no excuse.
    1
  48. it's gone already last I checked. I used to live there. drying up of the great salt lake will be ten times worse.
    1
  49. hey, moron... hate to burst your bubble but CONSERVATIVE MORMONS run that state. have for decades.
    1
  50. you're talking about that rancher representing the clade that grows alfalfa to be shipped to China I assume?
    1
  51. dude, the "farmers" in this case are actually ranchers... like the guy they put in charge of managing this water... who actually grow alfalfa to be shipped to china. the world is not as simple as you picture it in your head. thought it is far far more greedy.
    1
  52. uh, 80% of the crops grown with the water that is supposed to flow into that lake is used to grow ALFALFA, moron. it's not even farmers that are the problem here... it's ranchers. just like the one the UTAH government put in charge of water usage that you just saw in this video.
    1
  53. this is like that... times ten.
    1
  54. that... is the dumbest thing I have seen in the comments. congrats.
    1
  55.  @montyjackson8156  I wonder if he ever considered that MO wouldn't WANT them?
    1
  56. I came from the US to NZ 15 years ago, only to learn things are just the same in the background. at least the people are less fkd up overall.
    1
  57. nope.
    1
  58. that rancher the state nominate to manage that resource... represents the group of ranchers that transformed the area into growing alfalfa to ship to China. no kidding.
    1
  59. authorities like the rancher the state put in charge of managing the resource? the very people who converted the agriculture of the area into mostly alfalfa? yes, yes indeed.
    1
  60. irrational nutter sez wut?
    1
  61. ??
    1
  62. but not surprising.
    1
  63. everything you said is 100% incorrect. why do you believe this is the way things are, when they very clearly are not?
    1
  64. don't say that... Elon Musk will buy Utah. wait.... DO say that.
    1
  65. you clearly do not understand the meaning of the word irony. probably similar with most words you utter.
    1
  66. that was NOT a farmer. he is a rancher, who is part of the cabal that changed the agriculture mode there from food to alfalfa... that is a VERY high water usage crop, btw... and then ship that to china. no kidding.
    1
  67. because he literally works for the people that converted the agriculture there to growing alfalfa for export to China. does it make more sense now?
    1
  68. 100% correct.
    1
  69. ... sez the clown using "pepe" as his icon.
    1
  70. "Alot of the water is being evaporated by their cloud seeding" where do you nutters GET this crap from?
    1
  71. keep on hangin on to those delusions. i'm sure they are doing you a world of good.
    1
  72. nobody gaf about you either, right?
    1
  73. the "farmers" in this case are mostly ranchers who grow alfalfa to be shipped to china for THEIR agricultural use. now, wanna start over again?
    1
  74. you really haven't a clue what you are talking about. just stop.
    1
  75. those "farmers" are 80% alfalfa growers who sell their "produce" as just stock for cows. you know nothing.
    1
  76. uh, if you knew a thing, you would know that the vast amount of agriculture in that area is now about growing alfalfa. for ranchers. in china. not food for your table. but hey, let your ignorance carry the day. it seems par for the course in this century.
    1
  77. what completely useless twaddle.
    1
  78. uh, does that explain why alfalfa is the primary crop grown there? you know nothing.
    1
  79. literally correct in this case.
    1
  80. "they" didn't say a damn thing. watch the video and you will literally hear from the people directly involved in the area.
    1
  81. two wrongs don't make a right. didn't your mama teach you that?
    1
  82. finally. someone who knows what is going on there.
    1
  83. because the eggs have nothing to do with the amount of water entering the lake. duh.
    1
  84. i dunno... i don't think you, personally, are praying hard enough.
    1
  85. hey, you do the same. you will realize that history shows that RAPID changes like this are very, very rare indeed.
    1
  86. dude, the "farmers" are actually ranchers growing alfalfa for beef stock.
    1
  87. you are pretty deluded and ignorant dude. that is going to backfire on you sooner rather than later.
    1
  88. consider that this will encourage others to not care about YOU.
    1
  89. you did the right thing anyway. that's important.
    1
  90. nope and nope... and nope. your knowledge is all wrong.
    1
  91. the effort to "fix" this is literally in the hands of the people who made the mess to begin with. they will die before they admit to having to change.
    1
  92. ever consider they will, as soon as they finish collecting and processing all the information?
    1
  93. it's a direct quote of the rancher the Utah legislature saw fit to "manage" the water resources feeding the lake. yes, republican predators ARE full of nonsense. not Vice's fault.
    1
  94. that was the RANCHER saying that. he is no environmentalist, I promise you that. he literally represents the industry that converted the normal agriculture in the area into growing mostly alfalfa. but hey, don't let actual reality interfere with your paranoia bro.
    1
  95. meaning... ? what? you have no idea what you are talking about or why.
    1
  96. plan? what plan? you literally have the person who CAUSED the problem (massive alfalfa growing expansion by ranchers), in charge of "the plan".
    1
  97. nutter^
    1
  98. when is the last time you had a bowl of alfalfa for lunch? in China?
    1
  99. privatize the profits, and dump the costs on everybody else.
    1
  100. Fox asking for money? who could be so dumb.
    1
  101. Trump asking for money? who could be so dumb...
