California's drought wouldn't be so bad if the rest of you would share some water | W Kamau Bell

Isn't this supposed to be the United States of America? If California is weathering a drought, shouldn't we have each others' backs?

So, California is in a drought. That's what everybody says. The media says it. The scientists say it. The firefighters working overtime to put out the hundreds of wildfires say it, as do the farmers trying to explain that if something doesn't happen soon salad will just be something in an exhibit at a natural history museum.

I've even gotten used to restaurants in California - no matter how simple or fancy - having signs that remind me to ask for water with my meal. I'm forced to ask for water like a sucker, instead of the water just being on my table when I sit down the way the framers of the Constitution intended.
