I don’t think this is actually as bad as people say.
It’s not that we won’t have drinking water. Municipal water use is tiny! And provided with enough incentives (higher costs) people will use less water. And this can be done in very reasonable ways by issuing water tiered rates.
Agricultural water use, is a whole different topic. However, until we can incentives better water management on our massive agricultural lands, it’s only going to get worse.
I think the problem is that it will be almost impossible to change policies on water use that will change the economic outlook of so many people.
As expected of a beehaw user, the perfect liberal answer.
No need to watch fox news anymore, get all your propaganda from beehaw.
Fuck off with the tribalism.
Beehaw has been popular for like a week. How can there be a typical user?
That’s rich coming from a tankie.
