  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. 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.

  3. blame the right wing rancher who actually SAID THAT in the piece, don't blame Vice.

  5. conservatives clearly do not understand what the word "irony" even means, let alone being able to use it properly.

  6. it is, in fact, why I left 15 years ago. I saw this coming. no regrets.

  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.

  8. into alfalfa food for cows.

  9. that's outright misinformation. it's the quotas that are the problem.

  10. ?? how in the hell is right wing utah managing water with a damn RANCHER Biden's fault, exactly? nutter.

  11. relics of lots of forestry and mining.

  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.

  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?

  22. i'd rather there be time for my kids and their kids though.

  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.

  24. he's a rancher. he lies to keep his job appointed to him by the right wing governor.

  25. u can use your eyeballs, buddy. or just keep lying to yourself. must be working great for you.

  26. delusional much?

  27. there is no jesus. if you're going to repent, then do it and really CHANGE.

  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?
