I dont disagree with what youre saying being done, but it really has absolutely nothing to do with this article other than tangentially…
The US is a major contributor to climate change, but its far from the only one. The lack of water isnt from corruption. Its from climate induced draught that is eliminating snowpack. And the centuries old water management systems that were never designed for there to be no snowpack.
Even if trumps ilk, every congresscritter, and every billionaire were dragged out in the street tomorrow it wouldnt have any effect on the lack of water induced by climate change
The climate change that causes the lack of snowpack has everything to do with the corruption. Solving that wont solve climate change or the drought but it will drastically reduce further climate change and drought.
