Jobs numbers rise, but so does jobless rate
Yes, except fora small percentage, most money spent on War is sucked up by the military industrial complex. ***Iraq is a perfect example!*** And that does not include all the Billions in cash that has disappeared.— July 19, 2014 3:01 p.m.
Jobs numbers rise, but so does jobless rate
Don - There should be some way of separating all these jobs created and lost by the amount that they pay or did pay, because if that were done I bet the "stats" would show that only low paying jobs are being created while many more high paying jobs are be lost... If that turns out to be true, then even worse times are ahead for everyone that is not already wealthy.— July 19, 2014 12:48 p.m.
Diary of a Young influence-peddler
To: George Rosenblatt I see it as more of a hit piece against both Parties which in San Diego seems to be either Pro Big Business or really Pro Big Business. In reality they all are really doing whatever they can to maximize their campaign coffers, while telling us that they are fighting for US... Perhaps San Diego is growing into becoming the west coast New Jersey.— July 18, 2014 3:19 p.m.
Water hogs' lament
Don - Imagine if instead of the Mississippi flooding New Orleans (again) the excess water was diverted to be stored in the Salton Sea or other similar locations for use when needed. That would be a huge Win-Win for everyone and is the type of planning that our elected Leaders should be doing instead of just jacking up little peoples rates.— July 18, 2014 3:03 p.m.
Diary of a Young influence-peddler
San Diego's elected officials dilemma: Is selling out to Big Business really selling out, just good for your own bottom line or both?— July 18, 2014 12:17 p.m.
Water hogs' lament
N☢ to using nuclear but soon using offshore Wind and/or subsurface ocean wave/ocean current generated electricity will be able to make unlimited amounts of fresh water once it is installed. Until then, as the cost of water goes upward, expect to see more being shipped to CA, so expect to soon see massive amounts of water being shipped to CA, just like Oil is now, only without the chance of any Eco-disaster in case of a leak. If we were really smart we would build large pipelines to connect different parts of the US so that we could make better use of the fresh water we have, especially during storms and flooding.— July 17, 2014 9:40 a.m.
Water hogs' lament
OsideDave, your comment is like one person telling others that we have finite Oil and to drive the speed limit in order to save gasoline... We will never have "enough" water if ever more people move to CA, as for me, I'd prefer less people and more water; especially for those living in older neighborhoods that have invested in lawns and their sprinkler systems. Perhaps if you said that all new construction must have NO lawns, that would send the right message, since then those buying that real estate would not be able to complain.— July 16, 2014 2:49 p.m.
Water hogs' lament
Some suggestions: 1. Nobody should vote for any elected Leader that does not immediately support massive desalinization projects either along CA's coast line and/or slightly offshore. The price of water is nowhere near the price of gasoline and/or diesel so the solution is not conservation but increasing the supply, especially since so many in CA already get all the *free* water they want because of early contracts; which allows them to sell "their"water. 2. To increase the pressure on elected Leaders, we should immediately put a moratorium on all new construction in CA., that will speed the process up of providing more potable water, since Big Contractors want to continue to Build, Build, Build. 3. We should demand that all water carrying canals be covered with solar panel to both generate electricity (that will be sold to reduce the cost of water for state users) and prevent excessive evaporation which is excessive especially in the desert parts of CA. 4. Consumption should not be limited unless each person is allotted the same amount of water, to be used as they wish, so that those with huge homes cannot use more than anyone else. ***Water equality is far easier to regulate than water injustice...***— July 16, 2014 2:42 p.m.
Fill the dam thing
All State Leaders should either support immediately increasing the fresh water capacity in CA or be replaced at the next election by new Leader's that will.— July 13, 2014 4:31 p.m.
Former councilman Madaffer sells newspapers
The loss of yet more news outlets to "feel good" local reporting is yet another blow to news about the key issues that affect all those in San Diego and beyond. The ***San Diego Reader*** remains **THE** only source of real news in SoCal...— July 1, 2014 1:54 p.m.
