      And I’m living somewhere where it’s going to be abundant for at least the rest of my life, but far too many people think they can live in the desert and waste as much water as they want. That’s just not how deserts work.

      Not when privatization inevitably monopolizes access.

    “Water is the scarce resource that will define the 21st century...”

    Only a money manager would find this to be an opportunity, as opposed to a travesty.

    “As long as we can make money, bro!”

      It’s almost like clean water is capital. Too bad there always seems to be less of it around.

      Merkel would like a word with you. Her administration has been drumming along the Greek water privatization for months claiming similar reasons. The hypocrisy, however, burns.

    So how does one invest “in water” exactly? Buy a bunch of Fiji and horde it in the basement? Asking for a friend.

      You don’t. Mostly it’s private companies engineering and operating these facilities.

      First you privatize,
      then you hoard,
      then stomps wealth
      on the proletariat’s baby carriage.

      That’s misrepresentation: a tyrant always reminds you of their humanity.

      It is going to be scary. We are divided now with relatively ample supply of water. How will it be when there isn’t enough for everyone?

      What groups will take this opportunity to call for purges and quiet genocides of people?

      Perhaps not, but you can use money to buy Brawndo, which you can drink. It will mutilate your thirst. And, it’s got electrolytes.

    Mad Max... but about water.

    Everyone in Southern Cal should probably sell their house sooner rather than later.
