That segment really threw a monkey wrench in my spinning wheels. Fucking Wall Street - making money off misery, business as usual, hiding in plain sight. Pistachio's and Almonds in CA (WTF!), not to mention the vast Alfalfa crops in NV which requires even MORE water AND the majority of which gets sold to China to satisfy their appetite for Western cuisine!. The stoopid it hurts.

I recommend everyone watch "Kiss The Ground" (Netflix). We absolutely must change and reform Big Agro/Meat and promote Regenerative Farming. This will save water and fight climate change and get us back to 'normal' weather (i.e. rain) cycles.

Water Futures...Christ we are so screwed.
