By 2050 it is estimated, that water scarcity will also affect first world countries.
it already does if the priveleged classes in those countries had any willingness to open their eyes and take a look around. Flint, Michigan was without clean drinking water for 11 years. Lenoir County, Georgia has reached 7 years. communities in North Carolina and West Virginia are coming on two years. water access in Baltimore, MD, DC, and Fairfax County, VA has been disrupted by human waste for a month to months now.
do you know what all these places have in common? the communities impacted have a median family income of ~$30k/yr. and instead of addressing these problems, the focus of our government’s work is to construct AI data centers that further restrict our access to clean water, destroy our homes, and make the climate unlivable at not just this place, but this latitude.
and the thing to me that i see is that these people can’t justify their actions through economics alone. if it really was economics, they would find more comfort by raising the floor and making everyone more comfortable. instead, it is about the petty joy of enacting cruelty. they like we don’t have water. it makes them think themselves special that they have clean water.
