Katrina all over again. White people were shooting their black neighbors and the media wasn’t covering.

This is scary, the media is bowing down to trump and Elon. Next disaster they can murder tons of black people and cover it up again

Next disaster will be on Trump's watch..but of course he takes zero responsibility so everyone else will get blamed.

Man, my biggest concern outside of people losing their homes and lives is the inevitable housing crisis that comes from this. I can really see poorer people being displaced because of rent increases and richer people maybe buying homes in low cost areas raising the property taxes forcing people out.

Many parts of the poorer LA areas didn't get repaired after the '92 LA Riots..

My real question is how does something like water supply even become a thing that a singular person can buy and own?
In the Southwest and mountain states there is a concept of water rights that predates most cities in the region due to homesteading. You had to ration an acquifer or river or lake supply when several settlers had individual wells instead of municipal water.


This system exists in rural areas in the Midwest too, and was mainly a rural concept in the western desert states until encroachment of large metros occured in the 80s and 90s. A few years ago, I tried to purchase an unusually cheap plot of land in one of the desert states, and I was shocked that I had to buy a certain amount of water rights before even building. Ironically, I didn't buy that property due to water issues. Found out it was dangerously close to the old nuke test sites so the water and soil was probably trash. But in an alternate reality, I would also be one of these people who owns public water, and you bet your ass I would keep those rights once the city was settled around me.


But some people opt to to sell those rights instead of keeping them. In a best case scenario, a city buys the rights. In a worst case scenario a private equity firm or an oligarch does.:manny:


In countries that actually care about citizenry, these rights would be immediately ceased or eminent donained; but in America people don't matter. It's fascinating that in states like Arizona or Utah or Nevada, municipalities have to beg stingy farm owners or old business interests like the Mormon church to have some water for new development.

The guy who owns most of the water in California lives in Beverly Hills but I'm supposed to believe LA didn't have water. People are so fukken stupid. LA has all the Central Valley's water. They have for decades.
He’s also a Zionist him and his wife have a multi million dollar pistachio business

Pardon my ignorance but how can one person own a natural resource, needed for survival in an entire state?

By paying off politicians.

The pistachio billionaires who guzzle more water than all of fire-ravaged Los Angeles​


My real question is how does something like water supply even became something where it could be bought and owned by a singular individual?
What is the origin?
