This is just "But think of the farmers!!!".
Across the US, farmers are not poor. By dint of being landowners, they are in fact some of the richest people around. See, e.g., this article: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/trump-american-gentry-wyman-elites/620151/ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/09/trump-amer... or this one: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/14/opinion/sunday/rich-happiness-big-data.html https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/14/opinion/sunday/rich-happi....

We should cut off their water, force them to pay taxes on their still operating farms, and sprinkle salt all over the land. California should shoot down the water desalination projects (like it has for 20 years) and punish it's citizenry.
