Tell it to the California Water Authority and the smelt preservation society

‘Stolen Land’: Gavin Newsom’s ‘Agricultural Equity’ Advisers Prepare Plan To Redistribute Farmland to Racial Minorities

California has 'the responsibility' to help 'rebuild the wealth that was stolen,' task force says

Leaving aside, for now, the state’s annual, increasingly- drastic curtailment of irrigation water to its farms – this year’s decision to shut it off has come just before harvest, rendering useless a year’s toil — my admittedly limited knowledge of farming tells me that it’s hard, year-round work, demanding knowledge of agricultural practices, hard, hard work, and constant attention 7 days a week, all performed in rural, isolated areas, far from friends and neighbors. None of that sounds as though it will be appealing to, say, Los Angeles’ or Oakland’s inner-city denizens. Wanna bet that, just as in Zimbabwe and South Africa, the confiscated land ends up in the hands of a few politically-connected thugs and charlatans? Wanna make another bet, that the vineyards of the wealthy will remain in their hands, inviolate?
