We have posts about a whole bunch of less important stuff, I think a drought which is definitely a sub-category of risk is definitely well within boundaries.

The California water shortage is not a "sub-category of risk", it's a sub-category of the use of political power to benefit particular groups.

And half of what gets discussed here isn't?

No, not that I've noticed. LW occasionally discusses political philosophy but very rarely gets down to actual, specific policies and politics.
