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?

mexican restaurants with $20 entrees

It should not cost 20 dollars for a single chile relleno.

I am pretty sure the whole idea behind 40 dollar meals at mexican restaurants is to equate mexico with europe, which fits right in with California loving europeans and mexicans more than the rest of America. I suppose the next thing we'll see is gagillionaire mexican aerospace engineers drinking cabo wabo at their places "en baja" partnering with Airbus to underbid Boeing to supply jets to the last remaining American airline.

Look, it's got to start somewhere and my guess is a 20 dollar chile relleno is just the place.

for the record $40 should get a family of four both full and drunk at a mexican restaurant.

That said, the 20 dollar chile relleno I had yesterday was pretty damned tasty, and herein lies the dichotomy - I'm going to buy some EAD stock and a bottle of cabo wabo now.
