  • Check out Ethiopia and Egypt, Pakistan and India, China and Vietnam/Laos.

    Some are more hot than others but these are all conflicts over lowering water levels and increasing demand. Even within the USA, there are conflicts between states in the southwest and with Mexico over the Colorado river kind of… Just not existing anymore.

    Because billionaires exist. Literally, that’s it. If you do the math and you distribute that out to everyone as their fair labor value, then yeah. People don’t need to work much at all to make society function.

    Think about how much of your society is just advertising for some new bullshit finance scheme that only syphons money from the bottom up to the top? And they pay people to do it. An insane amount of the “work” done by people today does ABSOLUTELY nothing to benefit humanity. It’s busywork to make rich people richer.
