States Propose , Competing Plans to Help , Lake Mead Water Levels Recover.
'Newsweek' reports that states in the lower Colorado River
basin have proposed solutions as water levels at Lake Mead
and Lake Powell inch closer to dead pool status.
Water cuts have already been
implemented and increased in
severity in Arizona and Nevada in 2023.
The cuts have left western states scrambling to come up
with a solution that preserves their access to Colorado
River water while also aiding the reservoirs' recovery.
'Newsweek' reports that increased water use and water
evaporation from global warming have contributed to
the declining water levels amid a historic 20-year drought.
Despite torrential rains and a higher-than-normal
snowpack melt, experts say water use must
be cut for the reservoirs to recover.
.
So far, seven states in the Colorado River
basin, including California, have proposed , water conservation plans.
The best way to avoid conflict
and ensure that we can put water
in the river right away is through
a voluntary approach, not putting
proposals that sidestep the Law
of the River and ignore California's
senior right and give no respect to that, JB Hamby, Colorado River Board of
California Chairman, via Associated Press.
'Newsweek' reports that up to 80% of water
from the Colorado River is used for
agricultural purposes, including in California.
According to University of California, Davis professor
Jay Lund, humans need to reduce their water use,
even at the cost of fallowing local agriculture.
.
We might get lucky with the weather,
but the idea of the system recovering
is really hard unless you reduce
water use in that basin, Jay Lund, Professor University of California, Davis, via 'Newsweek'

The president said that the money
will “support the construction of
leading-edge semiconductor manufacturing facilities right here in the United States.” .
Funding would also go toward
training local workforces at the new facilities.
A year and a half ago, I toured

fab in Phoenix, Arizona, President Joe Biden, via statement.

semiconductor manufacturing that’s

Last week, workers held sit-in
protests at Google's offices in both
New York and Sunnyvale, California.
The protests were organized by the group
No Tech For Apartheid, who said that 30 workers
were fired following the initial sit-in. .
According to Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for
No Tech For Apartheid, Google has now fired
"over 20" more workers, “including non-participating
bystanders during last week’s protests.”.
Google’s aims are clear:
the corporation is attempting
to quash dissent, silence
its workers, and reassert
its power over them, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.
In its attempts to do so,
Google has decided to
unceremoniously, and
without due process,
upend the livelihoods of
over 50 of its own workers, Jane Chung, a spokeswoman for No Tech For Apartheid, via 'The Independent'.

Google has disputed the group's claims,
stressing that the company carefully found that, “every single one of those whose employment
was terminated was personally and definitively
involved in disruptive activity inside our buildings.”

How Did '4/20' Become
a Holiday for Weed?.
One common theory is that it stems
from a California criminal code for
those who distribute the drug.
According to CNN, California's 420 code is actually for obstructing entry on public land.
The state's medical marijuana
program was created from a bill
with the number 420.
Oaksterdam Cannabis Museum's Chris Conrad
says "4/20" started as a code in
Marin County, California, at San Rafael High School.
In the 1970s, a group called
"The Waldos" would get together at
4:20 PM to smoke pot.
The time of the day was convenient as it
was right after school ended with
no parental supervision just yet.
"4/20" became a code word that allowed
them to notify each other in front of
unsuspecting parents.
From there, the phrase likely
spread across the country
