All told, they claim to own Americas second-largest produce company, worth an estimated $4.2 billion.

The Resnicks have amassed this empire by following a simple agricultural precept: Crops need water. Having shrewdly maneuvered the backroom politics of Californias byzantine water rules, they are now thought to consume more of the states water than any other family, farm, or company. They control more of it in some years than whats used by the residents of Los Angeles and the entire San Francisco Bay Area combined

Last year, the Resnicks rebranded all their holdings as the Wonderful Company to highlight their focus on healthy products and philanthropy. Our company has always believed that success means doing well by doing good, Stewart Resnick said in a press release announcing the name change. That is why we place such importance on our extensive community outreach programs, education and health initiatives and sustainability efforts. We are deeply committed to doing our part to build a better world and inspiring others to do the same.

But skeptics note that the Resnicks donations to Lost Hills began a few months after Earth Island Journal documented the yawning wealth gap between the couple and their company town, a dusty assemblage of trailer homes, dirt roads, and crumbling infrastructure. They claim the Resnicks influence among politicians and liberal celebrities is quietly warping Californias water policies away from the interests of the states residents, wildlife, and even most farmers. I think the Wonderful Company and the Resnicks are truly the top 1 percent wrapped in a green veneer, in a veneer of social justice, says Barbara Barrigan-Parrilla of Restore the Delta, an advocacy group that represents farmers, fishermen, and environmentalists in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, east of San Francisco. If they truly cared about a sustainable California and farmworkers within their own community, then how things are structured and how they are done by the Wonderful Company would be much different.

And heres a key fact to consider against this backdrop: The Resnicks arent just pumping to irrigate their fruit and nut treestheyre also in the business of farming water itself. Their land came with decades-old contracts with the state and federal government that allow them to purchase water piped south by state canals. The Kern Water Bank gave them the ability to store this water and sell it back to the state at a premium in times of drought. According to an investigation by the Contra Costa Times, between 2000 and 2007 the Resnicks bought water for potentially as little as $28 per acre-foot (the amount needed to cover one acre in one foot of water) and then sold it for as much as $196 per acre-foot to the state, which used it to supply other farmers whose Delta supply had been previously curtailed. The couple pocketed more than $30 million in the process. If winter storms replenish the Kern Water Bank this year, they could again find themselves with a bumper crop of H2O.

No. Now that he isnt abusing a weak east conference, we see just who he is. Still really goor but a far cry from anything resembling one of the best. Lebron has officially been exposed

He's still in the same boat as Cleveland at this point, shit cast around him. Once Leonard comes aboard next year GS will lose.

lmao lakers fans always think they will get everybody

Just like you were gonna get paul george right?

Who said I'm a Lakers fan? I'm not. But the writing is on the wall and Leonard is going there.

that's what everybody said about PG lmao

Something tell me bannon is agitating this.

We will probably see le pen succeed macron after his term is over. I feel bad for people in France who make their living out of tourism, it will dry up quick

what the hell are you talking about?

Is this a honest question or not? I need to know before I reply

yes this sounds like conspiracy bullshit most of the protesters are on the left

- Steve bannon went to bologna, Italy to establish some sort of center made to stir far-right movements all song Europe. I believe its called the center for human dignity or something like that. This is a fact, not up for dispute.

- he said he chose bologna because in its the far right and the far left converged. He wants to seize both far movements (far right and far left) to further a populist, racist movement across Europe. He seeks to destabilize democratic governments around the world. This is also a fact.

- he had to do with the far right party VOX suddenly and unexpectedly having huge wins in a region of Spain recently (fact)

So I am wondering if he is behind these yellow
Vests too. You know, trying to weaken macron to help le pen

I think you think Steve Bannon has a lot more influence that he actually does lmao.

This is one hell of a wackjob theory.

Wrong nothing... He was not did not face jury of his peers as outlined in you Constitution. Until then he is still innocent until proven Guilty. NC have laws that force "minor" crimes to go in front of the judge first. If you don't like that out come you get your right to the jury trial.

imagine defending this dude

look at those pictures? who the fuck else could have done them.

The judge literally found him guilty, he appealed and she didn't appear, now i wonder why someone who pictures show had the shit beaten out of them wouldn't show up in court... hmm?

HE was cleared of those charges .

wrong @cjsdowg

on May 13, 2014, Hardy was arrested for assault and communicating threats, after he was alleged to have assaulted an ex-girlfriend by grabbing her, throwing her into furniture, strangling her, and threatening to kill her. On July 15, a judge found him guilty of assault and communicating threats, and sentenced him to 18 months probation, suspending a 60-day jail sentence. When Hardy appealed the decision, requesting a jury trial, the victim failed to appear in court to testify. As a result, the prosecutor's office dropped the charges, citing their inability to locate the victim, and "reliable information" that the two parties had reached a civil settlement
