California destroys $1.2 Billion in farm products

California apparently does respect farmers' contributions to the economy. Yep. For no good reason apparently this week saw the government destroy 1.2 billion dollars of crop in the wester Sierra -


WAIT JUST ONE GODDAMNED MINUTE!!!

THEY WERE GROWING POT?

WTF?

1.2 billion dollars in weed?

what in the hell is going on in this state?

after I get a tattoo on my forehead, I'm gonna burn grandma

it seems reasonable when you live in california to do things that other people might not understand.

apparently one of these things includes making a necklace of your mother's skull and cremating her in a culvert on your farm.

these types of things happen all the time in california.

the ranch home

there was a period in American history when houses had two floors.

it was a good period.

then some jackass with some spare change decided to buy some bankrupt farmer's digs.

I have an idea - instead of say, being a farmer, lets rip all that ag out and build the cheapest houses we can because the land was so cheap!

nothing says "I (heart) sprawl" like a 2500 square foot home that is less than 14 feet high.

also, it's almost impossible to kill yourself by throwing yourself from the roof in disgust.
