While 40 million Californians suffer through unprecedented drought, one billionaire couple owns a massive share of the state's water system, largely seized in a series of secretive meetings two decades ago.
That system was largely paid for by the very taxpayers whose water these billionaires hold hostage. The Resnicks are the biggest farmers in California-as of 2007 they owned four San Francisco’s worth of farmland. Nearly half of Americans buy at least one of their products: pistachios, POM pomegranate juice, mandarins, flowers, and more.
It’s all under one massive umbrella: The Wonderful Company, a privately owned company worth at least 5 billion dollars. The majority owners, the Resnicks, are worth at least 8 billion.
We dug into how Lynda and Stewart Resnick were able to seize control of what should be a shared public resource with ‪@SecondThought‬ on this latest episode of "How They Got Rich" by The Class Room at More Perfect Union.

By donating large sums to universities and colleges, it becomes easier to convince their administrations to hire certain researchers and professors ,who will be offered grants and tenured positions to study certain things, and return results that are favorable to the donors...and fire or blacklist those who try and publish papers that seek to challenge the current corporate agenda. Environmental and economics subjects are especially useful to the super-rich and corporations, to present 'scientific proof' which can be used to push policies which favor the elites.

@@curmudgeon1933 Absolutely. The gender and T stuff, make no mistake, is a big money maker also. One of the nonprofits I worked for was a large university teaching hospital, and the department I worked for did a sudden 180° shift away from helping schizophrenic homeless people during the height of the homeless crisis, and suddenly began concentrating all of its resources and energy into gender reassignment programs. Make no mistake, this is 100% because of grant money. I truly believe that the homelessness crisis is in large part worsened because all of these institutions are getting money from donors to support gender reassignment instead of mental health. I saw it with my own two eyes, and experienced it. That’s where the donor money wants medical care to go, so eff the people who need help, let’s concentrate on what I now consider “glamour” causes instead.

Universities nowadays are nothing but money machines and they will take money from whoever wants to give it to them. Something will change only when average people walk in their bathroom to take a shower one morning to find that they have no water for that purpose.

And some who do know about it recognize the hyperbole involved in this storytelling. Take another look at the video title. The LA water district "stole" far more of the water of the Owens Valley than these folks have stolen of California's municipal supplies. I'm not suggesting that it doesn't need to be re-negotiated, but they are just one large player in the multitude of interests at the table, agricultural, municipal, environmental, tribal, etc., all of whom are determined to have more water. Before inviting 40 million people to come eat pie to begin with, it would have been worth figuring out how possible and affordable and practical the available pie was going to be when sliced that many ways. California has long competed with Illinois for being among the worst states at seeing, and disciplining, its own financial and other resources future.

@@sodman4874 well without being legally sanctioned by a judge it's hard. If a group of people try to march on Nestle for instance, they would just call the local cops and say 'hey we're being threatened by these people we demand to be defended' and next thing you know cops show up and order everybody to disperse or threaten trespassing charges. Protests matter. I could see a citizens' movement being made right outside the front gate of every Nestle facility that's using water taken from the local aquifer. I would definitely support something like that so long as the people involved are in it for the long haul and know that they may have to be there for months and months before anything happens. The problem is these big corporations expect to be protected by either local cops or the national guard. If they feel threatened they get special treatment that we as citizens don't have access to. If they feel threatened they'll just straight up call 911 or the mayor's office and the cops will rush over like they're defending the baby Jesus. Local cops don't care about their local community. They don't care where the orders come from. They are robots and they'll follow any order they're given because one, it's much easier than thinking for themselves and two, it's easier than having to work. And that's exactly why they became street cops to begin with. You do NO work, you get a good paycheck, and you pretty much have legal impunity from any bad behavior. What more could it good-for-nothing want? Street cops are the laziest bitches EVER!! They do NO work and just menace people for a living. (Truthfully they shouldn't exist but people have been brainwashed for so long that they're necessary for safety sl they keep getting funded and re-funded and so on.) So if they're ordered to go protect the Nestle plant from local citizens demanding action, they'll do it. If they're it's a larger movement depending on how far it goes, Nestle might call up the governor's office and request backup by the National Guard and most likely the governor will only be too happy to grant their request, cuz all governors in this country are exceedingly corrupt and super bought-and-paid-for by billionaires and large corporations. So any large corporate boss knows that all he has to do is call the local mayor or governor for some muscle and they'll get it. So it's definitely an uphill battle to fight these kinds of interests because they have access to support systems that we don't have. Still, sooner or later we should fight them. Doing nothing should not be an option. We can fight them on the street and we can also take them to court. Both ways are important and both ways matter. I would say the courts are probably the one to focus on more just because protests on the street can be forcibly dispersed by cops if they choose to, although if it's a large enough crowd the cops may have less success. Also, provided the protesters aren't on privately property, the cops have no legal basis for ordering any removal. But I would say to focus on lawsuits and courtroom battles is the way to go. I wish we could overwhelm these folks with force but we just don't have it. Most people aren't plugged into this these issues. It is possible we could temporarily take over a plant if we had enough numbers however eventually, a local SWAT team or the National Guard would just remove those people. So fighting these people in the courtrooms is the way to go. And it may take a very long time because obviously Nestle has very deep pockets but as far as I know that's the only other option. Sure a group could do guerilla terrorist actions such as stealth bombings and such on their property, taking care to avoid any human life, but Nestle would probably just step up security in response to that. I doubt that would be enough on its own to force them to shut down that particular location. Nonetheless for me it's a great adjunct tactic to deploy in addition to a long-term courtroom strategy. And that's how you got to do it. It's kind of a triumvirate. Organized public protests, guerilla tactics possibly, and long-term lawsuits. Does that help?

His grandfather had immigrated from Ukraine when his father was 3. Lynda Resnick was born 1943 as Lynda Rae Harris to a Jewish family in Baltimore, Maryland, and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I presume that everything sold in a grocery store is shady now. We don't have any brand names in the house and no manufactured faux-foods. Just mostly locally sourced one-ingredient foods that we turn into what we want to eat. With a garden, indoor garden, cultivated mushrooms, egg laying birds, goats, Amish neighbors, and a free-range bison ranch nearby we do not miss anything from billionaires. If I want catsup, I make it from scratch using my own canned tomato paste. If I want bread, I make it from sprouted wheatberries I bought from an Amish farmer. Black walnuts fall from the sky around here, and we collect and process them. We use them as walnut butter, walnut oil, and as walnuts. I'll buy onine and pay a premium to get domestic olive oil, maple syrup, blue maize, wild rice, molasses, oats, lentils, chickpeas, Basmati rice, and some spices. That's about it. Growing food, cooking from scratch, and buying this way saves thousands of dollars a year. I am certainly not going to pay through the nose to sabotage my ability to eat responsibly.

Pistachios and citrus are very water intensive crops. And growing crops of flowers is just a bad idea all around. Being a non food crop, the use of pesticides and fertilizers is much more loosely regulated. It's almost tautological that at a certain level of wealth, crisis for the broader economy, means increased wealth. The mega wealthy are essentially incentivized to create crisis. You can have too much money to appreciate what something really costs.

Good video. Not much is publicly known about the politics of water in California and the shady dealings that take place behind closed doors. The Resnicks are one example; Another is an endowment or an investment vehicle for an Ivy League school (Harvard, if I recall correctly) that has spent heavily on groundwater rights in San Luis Obispo County. Corruption and financial mismanagement are not the only impacts on California's ability to supply its water needs. We also have simply balked at building capacity for decades. One of the major watersheds is in the Modesto region, where we only have about 50% storage capacity versus the total annual rainfall. Better management by officials who are not corrupt and beholden to donors and the whims, and confidants of their political patrons is desperately needed to fix the various man-made issues pertaining to our water supply.

@@geoffreylane5606 Indeed, but keep in mind that was the early part of the 20th century…California has had water wars over riparian rights since well before the Gold Rush of the 1840s, predating both statehood, and Mulholland’s taking of the water from the Eastern Sierras that sucked Owens Lake dry to build Los Angeles into a metropolis, and to his folly that created the St. Francis Dam disaster that washed out the towns of Fillmore and Santa Paula, leading to the fictional scene in the movie in which, Nicholson’s character Jake Gites gets beat up by a group of angry farmers in Ventura. I have always found it interesting that no one makes a big deal about San Francisco effectively doing the same thing with the creation of the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir and pipelines that took water out of the Yosemite Valley.
