Why isn't California using drones to make it rain?

 Jazz Shaw:

With the heatwaves and fires affecting northern California and the Pacific Northwest, a lot of people have been struggling for explanations and possible answers. It’s easy enough to just start talking about climate change and blaming that, but such explanations don’t really do much to help solve the actual problem. That’s what makes this report out of Dubai so interesting. If you want to cool down the temperatures or help put out the fires, how about if we just had a nice period of cloudy days and some rain? This sounds like something straight out of The Rainmaker, but it’s apparently real. Even in the desert, provided there are at least some clouds drifting by, they’ve been using drones to force rain to fall, providing lower temperatures and much needed relief. (NY Post)

Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
