re: #243 Ian G.

One of the more fucked up demographic trends that suggests an ugly future for this country is the internal migration patterns in this country. We’re abandoning cities where stuff used to be made (Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, etc.) that sit on the largest concentration of fresh water on earth (non-icecap division) to move to the freakin’ desert and work in oh-so-sustainable industries like casinos. Something is really wrong with this.

Precisely. I enjoyed visiting my dad in Vegas last year but I could never live there, for precisely the reason that the water supply problem is so real and dire. We might get hurricanes here on the gulf coast, but we get plenty of rain and we have plenty of lakes and rivers too.
