Right, some positions are partisan and some aren't. You can't vote for partisan positions if you aren't registered with a party in their primary. It's not a big deal to register with a party if you really wanted to support a particular person, but hopefully the initiative passes and we don't have partisan primaries anymore.

Are you taking about closed primaries? You can certainly vote for any position in the general election in Nevada, even without being registered with a party. I've been doing it for years

Abortions for some, miniature American flags for others!

Abnormally normal

The farmers have the most senior water rights, so there's a lot of legal hurdles to that solution. It's definitely something that needs to happen though. Letting them go bust means the Southwest US needs to get food from somewhere else, most likely shipped in on trucks. It's not as simple as people make it out.

Heat pumps are AC in reverse, so why's that so much more efficient? And most new homes are built with good insulation and lawns are illegal for new homes. Most grass has been removed and replaced with rocks, only older homes are allowed to keep their lawns. There's cash incentives to get them to remove it though. In fact, Las Vegas has actually decreased it's water usage in the past few decades, while increasing the population.

More energy is used in the US to heat homes than to cool them, so I'm really not seeing why people should live elsewhere. At least not from a pure energy use standpoint.

No, but born in the same city. They don't have a common prefix or anything like that.

That's not true anymore. My kids have very different SSNs.
