What? Lefties aren't allowed to prosper under capitalism...? :?
Then don't bitch about capitalism.
Just because I get around in the system I was born into doesn't mean that system is above criticism.

Constricting the supply or pollution of water cone at a cost to all users. Irrigation, golf courses, the average size American lawn. Everyone is complicit…left and right.

Some will grift off of repairing and creating greater efficiency of usage, some have already grifted off their unfettered access and overuse.

Arizona sells water rights to Saudi Arabian horse breeders for hay.

Elon musk and EV’s.

Neither are hardly what you’d consider lefties.
Talk to me when the exorbitant water prices show up in a city near you. Prices are already a lot higher in stores.
Dude, you’re talking to a guy who used to write $25,000 checks for monthly city water bills at the golf course.

Might not be able to water the course in the future. Send the land back to nature. Doesn't Billy Gates own more farmland than anyone. Meatless diets coming in the future too.

Half the course is being developed for a subdivision. The surviving 9 may also eventually.

Meatless diets have been around for a long time, Gil.

Is Bill Gates owning the most farmland, bad? Why do you hate capitalism?

Alabama Apt complex, actually a nice one, water bill is pegged at like $225 a month regardless of how much you actually use. Son in law questioned management and was basically told pay it pay or your water gets shut off… any further questions Yank …

So price gouging and collusion. People do need to speak up and advocate for themselves. That's how things get changed.

Get a copy of their lease. It's probably included there and the time to negotiate it is before it's signed or at renewal. But if every complex is doing it they'll just tell them it's non-negotiable.

Good idea, I’m going to try to get him not to give up so easily…

He just sent me this…

It’s just a criminal enterprise. They are naked about how corrupt they are and no one e can do anything about it

Meatless diets are voluntary right now.

Bill Gates will be part of the forced meatless diet in the future, if not directly, then indirectly.
