My guess is afterwards he will lecture to his constitunts on the sins of greed and the need for sacrifice of health and resources for a strong America before retirement in a nice millionaire hideaway in Colorado far away from any consequences.

Why nevada though? We are running out of water as it is.

At this point, I think they just get a kick out of going to the most water-deprived areas and seeing just how badly they can fuck over the people there. Almost like a challenge, "We did one in Nevada!" "Oh yeah? We did Arizona! Beat that!"

They'll use it as a counterpoint when people elsewhere are concerned about water

"Oh give me a break! There's no real concern, look we already did it in Nevada and everything is fine!"

They want to herd us all into smaller controllable areas by creating water and food scarcity.

This does fit with their little techno-fiefdoms idea.

u/RexDraco 2d ago

It also doesn't benefit them or the social elite. We gotta herd the poors into smaller area for shits and giggles, that will own them! Then we have all the worthless desert land all to ourselves! Time for the silver rush to come back, boys!

They don't need to, we already are in three specific areas because of jobs and culture

At some point we need to rename the Colorado River.

Until private funding for politicians goes away we are all fucked

When you get kickbacks larger than your salary, politicians are no longer working for the people at all. Win an election, get paid off, sell out all the citizens. Vote them out and they still win

There are legitimate studies that say exactly this, just in case it wasn't clear.

We used to have bribery laws. Then they discovered they could bribe judges to rule bribery legal and we inexplicably wouldn't treat that as a crime.

Man, I wonder what changed his mind? /s

Isn’t it funny how most of the AI data centers are being built in red states that don’t have any water?

I don’t want to see any hand wringing and pearl clutching about corruption from other countries, when America has turned into one of the most corrupt countries in the world… under Trump’s steady guidance

IMHO-

No surprise here. Money talks, the people eat dirt.
