The place I'm living in the PNW is experiencing a massive surge in water usage as the population increases dramatically. The people are moving here specifically because our county has no water use restrictions so they can water their lawns to their heart's content. This is a problem because the places these lawn-waterers came from put those water restrictions in place because the people were using up all the water on their useless lawns.
How can anyone in the PNW have lawns? Just grow some ferns and not even think about it.
Oh my god, this country is soooo fucking boring. Their idea of fun is just rolling around in the corn-syrupy mud or trying to piss off anyone cursed with a triple digit IQ in this shithole.
Also causing all sorts of subduction, creating giant sinkholes that can swallow whole neighborhoods.
It will be interesting to see where this is going. Is everyone just going to end up piling into the 30% of states that are still habitable?
More like castle doctrine types absolutely frothing at the mouth to gun down desperate people coming onto their property.
Here have another!

They talk about the ogalla in KS being dry and corn yields dropping to where they were in the 60’s
Also that Colorado has no idea how much water there is on their side
: "How DARE you make me think! I have a right to CONSOOM in peace!"
: "Lol gommunism doesn't work."
: "Capitalism works too efficiently."Dont worry this will be solved by piping water from the great lakes to the rest of the us. Just dont ask what happens when they run dry.
