    Also the cities aren’t even the problems! If you stop doing so much insanely wasteful agriculture in the middle of the fucking desert the cities can go on just fine

      What am I even supposed to eat once you take away my big bowl of almond-encrusted beef steak? :-p

      I mean, even the agriculture isn't strictly an issue if more farmers would adopt drip irrigation or use cover crops or do literally anything to mitigate water consumption. But all that shit costs money, while just flooding your property with water is practically free.

      Same with the huge ranches that pin all their animals into crates and build up massive cesspools of shit that they need to wash downriver. Yes, we could radically update our infrastructure in order to make it cleaner and more durable and more sustainable. But THAT SHIT COSTS MONEY! We will never spend money on something so unprofitable!

      Only do business cheaply and lazily. Never let any kind of third party regulator or administrator get involved. Free Market All The Things! Otherwise we will destroy 10,000 jobs an hour until you relent.
