I swear to God people will only display a modicum of care when disaster already has happened lol

Not a single drop of rain for weeks and ground water levels are rapidly declining but people don’t care because it’s nice weather at least. The government can’t be arsed to do something unless it’s to save farmers.

And when we inevitably have to ration our shit maybe then we will notice something’s off. But it’s not really popular to argue against good weather, I know.

    yeah, i guess if your chief problem is getting rid of water because it’s flooding all over the place, maybe you wont have much infrastructure for retaining water so you have some for a drought.

      It’s entirely possible to mitigate both drought and flood, both hot and cold. It just takes more effort so most governments (and even individuals) don’t bother.

        You see, you can be like Florida where you build both and let it crumble. Truly American.
