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

755 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?

We had a global pandemic and nearly half of people preferred acting like nothing changed and continue to do so. People are dumb and selfish and numerous, while we are also lacking in any coherent and competent leadership. Smart people are bitter or narrowly specialized to the point of obliviousness to other problems outside their interests. Dumb people are happy being ignorant or expect sky daddy to save them while armed with weaponised incompetence learned from weak men.
