Las Vegas is running out of drinking water. It’s funny that they mention that “they may have to raise rates.” Oh sure, they’re pumping water from the Colorado river. They’re talking about pumping water from Arizona. Oh yeah, they may have to raise rates. YA THINK?!?

There’s people living in the desert. People need lots of water. Do you think it’s reasonable that those people should pay more for water than the people in Seattle, where it rains tons?
This my same argument against sending humans to the Moon and Mars. There’s no water. Heck, there’s no air. Sounds just like human thinking. Robots don’t need water, or air, just power.
Pretty soon, Atlanta will be in the same boat. Too many people, not enough water.
