https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/19/magazine/the-water-wars-of-arizona.htmlI had read about depletion of aquifiers before, but I thought that there was some kind of sane management in place.

These types of stories sound like leftist parodies of capitalism. All centrists need to take notice and remind our populist brothers, sisters and nonbinaries that THERE IS A SWEET SPOT OF POLITICS BEEN HUGO CHAVEZ AND TRUMP. Business can thrive, and social order can be funded with efficient and responsible government, without identity politics pushing everything else out.
