As far as hysteria goes, it’s hard to compete with the political ads that are everywhere. The current governor has pretty much driven the state to the brink of bankruptcy with his tax cut policies, but OMG HIS CHALLENGER WAS CAUGHT IN A STRIP CLUB 20 YEARS AGO! WE CAN’T HAVE SOMEONE LIKE THAT RUNNING THE STATE! ---

California is going to run out of water. That’s not the scary part. When we do run out of water, we’re eventually going to have to move out of here. There’s plenty of water where you live, right? Are you scared, yet? ---

So we’re all moving too. You have land above sea level where you are don’t you? Here we all come. Along with most of the Eastern Seaboard.
