You mean all those western “Water Rights” wars of 150 years ago was really over Privileges?

Don’t shares of water rights mean anything to this administration?

Exactly! In the area I was raised, over the past 50 years there have been people killed over water (Mesa region east of Trinidad, CO). Cripes, my father deals with neighbors who will open their boxes (off of the ditches) wide open at night and then return early in the morning to shut them to “normal” levels before the ditch boss makes his daily run along the ditch. Oh, there are lots of stories!
