On Water Shortages
Someone mentioned this in a political community I am active in:
There are some areas here in the south where water is in short supply. The government is putting restrictions in place on how much water each household can consume. I don't see a problem with this.
To which I responded:
The unfortunate reality of things like water shortages in the southwest are explained simply (albeit cruelly) by saying that if you live in a fucking desert with no rainfall, you should expect this sort of shit. Much like the people of New Orleans - if you live in a city under sea level, well, uh, yeah.
It sounds mean, but personally, I can't see living in a desert city and complaining about water shortages. I'd have to be some sort of idiot to complain.
