*Call me a cynic.*
Call you Nostradamus!
That’s a pretty good prediction.
It appears that there’s a real water shortage in the West.
people moving to Nevada and California where there isn’t that much water to begin with, illegals adding to the population in huge amounts, etc.
I can easily see water as a phony crisis, because the Californians will actually be experiencing a shortage.
The gullible all around the country believe whatever comes out of California...especially if it comes out of the mouths of the Hollywood Celebridunces.
We actually had a shortage here in the Southeast a few years back. It was due to a drought that ran a little longer than usual, combined with a heatwave that was a little hotter than usual, combined with *mostly* the utter mismanagement by the gov't of the water resources that we have here locally.
During the "crisis", there were all sorts of dire predictions. "Never going to rain again". "We'll all go thirsty". "End of the world as we know it". But, as always, time passed and amazingly, it started to rain again. Last year we had probs with flooding - which, interestingly enough, didn't lead to end-times predictions. Go figure, I guess that "flooding" just didn't meet the "we're going to die of thirst" stories that the media had been running for the previous couple of years.
People are stupid.
I've since moved, but read not too long ago that water rates were going up because of "rises in administrative overhead". Go figure.
