Here's a tip. In technology, I immediately tune someone out the second they resort to using some variation of the word "fanboy". Why? Because it tends to indicate they're just as biased on the other side of the fence.

They can't generate a good argument, so they just slap a label on someone so they can ignore them and continue to live in blissful ignorance.

"You're an Apple fanboy, so..."

But to the point here, I also do the same exact thing the second someone retreats to using "woke" in an argument. Throwing the "woke" label at the supposed zealots just labels yourself as one of the zealots on the other side.

From my perspective you're the one who's bought into the ideology. (Then again, from your perspective, it's me.)

And really, ag articles from 2020 that ignores last year's drought? Try this one..

Regardless, if I were you I'd move away from Southern CA. Dumb, after all, to live in a non-sustainable desert and if current trends continue (naturally, of course) it's going to get a lot hotter...
