why doesn’t a looming shortage of freshwater in the Southwest United States feel like a more urgent threat?

737 viewsOther

I know negotiations among states that draw from the Colorado River are ongoing with water rationing measures being discussed, but it feels like the threat of water shortage doesn’t align with booming growth in this part of the country. Is the threat overstated? Are there solutions available when things get really dire? Or is it just hubris of prioritizing short term profits instead of long term sustainability? All the above?

Welcome to the United States!

Here, you don’t matter. No one matters. What matters, is profit.

So to you, lack of water is a problem. But for companies, it’s just an opportunity to charge you for something you weren’t paying for before. Your ass is going to be paying for water. And it’s not going to be cheap.

All part of the plan. Just google nestle water controversy.
