YES, THE SHORTAGE IS REAL - THANK YOU VERY MUCH TRUMP

For about three weeks I have noticed Walmart does not have Almond Milk.  Maybe they have it in the early morning and then run out.  The shortage is real.

The problem is multifaceted.  When Tony Martinez first announced for mayor, I demanded to know his water policy, as key to expansion of our economy.  Tony not really educated in such matters claimed he would promote conservation.  As if conservation would have prepared us for SpaceX demands.

On water policy, and it will cost us more than it already is costing us, we have none.  In the same way the city lied repeatedly about the airport runway expansion and then did nothing to stop the sale of the land needed for the expansion, the city and county have allowed for the development of the land needed for the weir dam. 

WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF ALMOND MILK?

California has done nothing to address its water demand and droughts.  All over the world from Asia, China, Africa, Latin America, and even Russia, hundreds of millions of trees are being planted to expand the amount land good for farming.  The trees promote rain, which means water.  In the US we just cut down the trees without actually replacing them and in fact adding to the total number of trees.

Even Saudi Arabia is actively planting millions of trees to reclaim the desert.  Trees bring rain, which means water.  It is amazing the millions of trees being planted around the deserts in Africa. 

SO, BETWEEN THE LACK OF A WATER POLICY IN CALIFORNIA AND NOW WORKER SHORTAGES, THE SHELVES HAVE NO ALMOND MILK

The almond harvest in California is down because of drought and what harvest there is, is not getting processed because of a lack of workers. 

Here in Texas, we prefer to cut down trees for paper products than grow hemp.  If production issues can be resolved, bamboo may become the main source of plastic instead of oil.  In Mexico avocado seeds are already being used for plastic and in Asia they use the yuca root.  But here we prefer our limited trees and fossil fuel.
