    You know the situation is totally fucked when a guy from a home builders association makes a comment like this...

    Drought in Utah Town Halts Growth - The New York Times

    "Water will be and should be — as it relates to our arid Southwest — the limiting factor on growth," said Spencer Kamps, the vice president of legislative affairs for the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona. "If you can't secure water supply, obviously development shouldn't happen."

    This made me a sigh...

    "Why are we building houses if we don't have enough water?" said Wade Woolstenhulme, the mayor, who in addition to raising horses and judging rodeos, has spent the past few weeks defending the building moratorium. "The right thing to do to protect people who are already here is to restrict people coming in." [...] The mayor is dubious of human-caused climate change.

          Idk there's a lot of humans that see it coming and wish to do something. Capitalism is reactive, I don't think it's human nature.

            History doesn't agree.

            Humans will know something is up. But they will continue down that path till it becomes to hard and it collapses.

            Humans in mass only react.

            You are seeing that everyday. You can't even get people to wear masks to stop the spread of something that will lead to their lives being changed forever be our through economic collapse or their lungs fucked.
