Yeah...been following a bunch of shyt over at the collapse reddit


all these people moving to those desert states

you read the book Dry? It's a fiction novel, but it's a really fun read, and is a very possible scenario that could play out. I recommend it.

The lack of media coverage this is getting is totally insane. Most of those 25 million Americans are completely oblivious about how dire the situation is.

National News: No

Regional: Yes. A lot of Arizona is noticing how their wells have gone dry. Even some people who are moving to Arizona to build a house, have been told by Arizona Gov., you cannot borrow our water because water has become scarce. So your having people calling in water trucks to ship them water, which is insane if you think about it.

Damn thats insane about the water trucks. I think it will be national news when we start seeing thousands of displaced people migrating to other parts of the country.

Goes to show how fukking stupid capitalism is because Arizona is growing fast as fukk, and they are doing everything they can to encourage growing fast as fukk, when their environment and infrastructure can't take that shyt at all and they're just ensuring their own collapse.

Like they should be setting hard limits on certain cities and giving people incentives to move to more sustainable locations, yet they're doing the exact opposite because the economic beast can only function with more more more growth.

One of the videos as well talks about how a Saudi Arabian-based Company, with permission from Arizona government, is allowed to grow Alfalfa to take back home without reporting how much water they use nor have a limit.

No, and if you choose this moment to educate yourself on a topic for the first time in your entire uninformed life, you'd know why. Do you realize how ignorant of reality you have to be (not only economic principles and history, but even basic ecological population models) to think that constant societal growth is the only sustainable model?


Here, I'll give you a head start this time. Here are three short chapters to read, of a book I just referenced in another thread. If you can shut your mouth for 20 minutes and use your eyes and mind for once, you might learn something. (I put them in the order they appear in the book, but the last chapter linked is probably the most important)
