Smells like Enron.
There is plenty of water, and it’s recyclable. The issues are potability and distribution.
markets just wants commissions.
oil, carbon and now water.
Why not air?
With filtration and purification tech available, there is no need for rationing water.
But the left has been pushing the idea for years that “water is running out”.
Since they successfully pushed the “guaranteed covid doom and mandatory curtailing of freedoms” without any pitchforks coming for them, they will move to the nect goals.
Depopulation and water rationing.
Cities do not have a choice of where they buy their water.

If democrats prevail they will be trading food and air.
Ask Mel Brooks
Why not toilet paper? The stores are empty at times. Well . . . I don’t mean trade as in trade clean TP for dirty TP . . I mean as a commodity.
“Forget it, Jake, it’s Chinatown!”

I didn’t like him.
Southern California uses far more water than falls naturally in the area.
I pay under $57 per acre foot of treated water on my farm.
A dang good deal right here in the California foothills.
Don’t need no Wall St
“ Southern California uses far more water than falls naturally in the area. “
Maybe areas that are drastically short on water should not continue to expand their population.
Some people would need to move to where the water is, or pay high rates to get water shipped in.
