Economics is the allocation of scarce resources that have alternative uses...Water is a scarce resource.

In a really free market, those resources are used in the most efficient manner, determined by the market, ie those who actually use those resources.. When Govt steps in and “centrally plans” the allocation of resources, they create shortages that would otherwise not exist. Hence California having an abnormal amount of water, inland of course. They don’t grow a lot of food in the Redwoods.

And I doubt you’ve been around much longer than me. I know where food comes from. I was only making a point about free markets to those who sneer at them. The problem is not free markets, it’s that we don’t really have them.

Maybe you're not as dumb as you look, afterall.

Water is a scarce resource.

LOLOLOL! Water covers 3/4 of the planet!

In a really free market

Here it comes..... This is the warm up for the global socialists when they are pushing for "free trade" and the removal of citizen sovereignty over a nation's resources.

The outcome of this IS scarcity and misery.

Americans have provided water for themselves and their fellow Americans for more than 2 centuries. The greedy globalists disdain this sovereignty and are out to destroy it with their phony arguments.

Your phony statement about California being a desert is a lie that has been pushed by globalists for 2 decades so they can steal sovereign resources to feed a growing global monopoly on resources. Give up already.

Economics is the allocation of scarce resources that have alternative uses...Water is a scarce resource. Economics is not necessarily the 'allocation of scarce resources', it is the allocation of resources that go naturally toward the direction of the greatest benefit.

Additionally, water is not a scarce resource. The planet is nearly 70% water. The problem is that it isn't always in places where it is wanted or needed.

Our ancestors, in their infinite wisdom, had the foresight to provide water where it was wanted and needed so that future generations could benefit greatly.

Since then we have been led by a bunch of brain-deads with no foresight so we have been living off the aforementioned legacy and have not improved upon the infrastructure that they constructed.
