    Shuts out everyone at the border and kills half their population through negligence, while the other half suffers poverty

    "Our population is dropping! Quick! We need to fix this!"

      I honestly don't know what comes next. But we're going to start running into a serious water crisis eventually, and people out in the rural districts are going to be on the losing side of that tug-of-war.

      There was some podcast I was listening to a week or two back about some billionaire out in Utah insisting the state could grow to 20M. They had Liam on as a guest from WTYP, and were all just flabbergasted at the idea the state could continue to water its own residents, much less an extra six times that number.

      What does ecofascism look like when you're in Arizona, staring north into Utah, and they tell you "Sorry but Glen Canyon's all ours. No water for you"?
