So the second largest water reservoir in the US is almost empty which will mean no more drinking water or electricity for 40 million people or so. This is also the case for a lot of water reservoirs around the US.

Whilst everyone here is focusing on Germany/Europe not having enough energy to account for Russia's reduced production, the US is literally running out of the one thing it needs to stay alive - Water.

What does Brawndo actually taste like and how does the US invade its way out of this one?

So how is the government going to make it rain more so the desert people can survive? If you really wanted daddy government to stop this from happening you would limit the population of these areas, which would be quite the complex operation especially given the large homeless populations of areas which are difficult to quantify. So what we are looking at right now is increasingly difficult economic factors causing people to leave these areas for other areas with higher standard of living and lower cost of living.

Every time the government tries to rectify a problem they colossally fuck it up and waste billions of dollars on failed projects, like the solar plants under obama, etc. Desalinization plants would be great, the one in saudi arabia could produce half the water needed for LA. It cost 7.2 billion dollars. Given California's massive budget, they could undertake such a project on their own or with the massive amounts of money they get from the federal government. How is it the federal government's obligation to do everything for the state it already gives the most money to? As for incentives for migration, are you suggesting the government pay people to move?

Even if we decided to take the exact blueprint of the Saudi desalinization facility (which also requires a gas powerplant) and started construction today, it wouldn't be producing at capacity for about 5 years. There is no way for us to take careful planned steps, same thing with the rest of our crumbling infrastructure. It is as you said, a bunch of shitty last minute emergency legislation full of gibs and corruption. Politics is just a reality TV show. They aren't ever going to focus on the future because they're too busy trying to put a bandaid on the last problem they ignored because they were too busy accusing each other of being russian agents or chinese puppets or racist or misogynists.

Things can adjust gradually. That area used to be very low population. Then people suddenly thought you could build megacities there because of reservoirs and water management. Well, maybe they hit their peak and overextended. So people start to move out and it readjusts and finds the real balance. That's life.

In my area of the country (the midwest) we got assfucked by manufacturing flight. Areas that used to be able to support thousands and millions more people suddenly found themselves desperate and on an island. Lots of people left. Things have started to adjust and find the real calibration point for this new paradigm.
