The politicians in the eastern states (all GOP) said the west would not "steal" their water.
Which floods them.
Man is constantly screwing with Nature, never learning his lesson.
First, man creates problems with Nature through his selfishness and greed, which alters Nature's natural processes, and then he attempts to fix the problems that he himself created - which, of course, rarely works, because, as Albert Einstein pointed out...

"The problems which exist in the world cannot be solved using the same level of intelligence that created them."

Here is the link to the document. Once you skip all the legal mumbo jumbo at the beginning it's a pretty straightforward presentation about what happened.

What's distressing is that he wanted to "lure" someone else using Speaker Pelosi as bait.
