It's selling hypothetical water that is not there and will never be there. It's a total scam that is going to bite drought-prone areas in the ass big time.
I'll try not get too distraught over the fate of people who live on Pueblo land and learned nothing from it
Never underestimate the ability of banking and finance to invent new financial products and then tell you how it's beneficial for everyone. (See financial crisis and derivatives for good example of this money making house of cards)
Thank goodness for polits like Warren, a regular target of repubs and wealthy individuals, greedy corps and crypto bros.
*As others pointed, like many other polits, Warren too should be called out for insider-trading. We need less cheerleading and greater accountability. Thank you folks for educating me on this.
Talking about a politician who insider-trades her way to tens of millions in gains each year.
The real fix here is to ban speculative trading on anything with either industrial or everyday use (like metals and real estate).
In Mexico there is a town run by Coca Cola and the people literally believe in what I think is Fanta. Everyone dies of diabetes and the undertaker sees what's going on, but it's part of the religion. Coca Cola owns the water in that town. I think it's a Vice report.
Brawndo's got what plants crave.
I am sure some Ivy League consultant or MBA was paid handsomely to exploit the illiteracy and/or faith of poor people.
What is even real anymore.
How can water rights be purchased when most of the western states follow prior appropriation? If this introduces riparian laws to the western US that seems like a terrible idea, in addition to the terrible idea of trading in water futures.
If Biden stepped down and Warren was on the ballot again I would definitely vote in this upcoming election.
You are the problem.
You’re brainwashed. The system is the problem. They want us peasants playing the imaginary game fighting with each other instead of unifying and making real change. You’re a pawn.
Unifying and making real change means coming together and voting against the fascist that's going to make everything worse.
Feeling righteous about not doing the one thing that can actually help is immature and stupid.
Vote against trump then? Unless you never want to vote again I guess
I only vote for, not against
Unfortunately that's not how our system currently works. The least you can do is undo one Nazi's vote
I’ll vote for any candidate who wants to change the voting system. RCV or some other alternative voting method. Changing the electoral college vote. I’ll vote for that. Not about fear-based voting. Good luck in this upcoming election!
Trump's first term resulted in abortion bans that are actively making women die. Next targets on the list will be banning birth control and GAHT. These will also cause people to die. That's not to mention how much worse Trump's positions are on Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine. Is it worth it to you to stand by and watch innocent, marginalized people die in the name of your personal political ideals? Elections are about way more than the idiosyncrasies of the political process. Literal human lives are on the line.
You think first past the post voting is something that gets changed in a presidential election? Really?
Vote for not criminalizing human being? Vote for not giving tax breaks to the wealthy?
Fuck cunt she fucked over progressive for her career. Anything she claims to want to pass that even sounds progressive, either isn't really progressive or she knows it won't pass and she uses it as a prompt.
This cunt would vote against Healthcare for all if it had a chance to pass. Remember she "capitalist to her bones'
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
There are times I think I’m the lefty-ist person I know, then I see something like this.
I do think she’s not quite as lefty as her image from 8-10 years ago but she’s a far cry from Sinema. I like 60ish percent of the things Warren says and does, that’s a decent start.
I sure as hell would have taken her over Biden.

Jesus these THE THEMS AREN'T LEFT ENOUGH nazi troll bots are going to need so much counseling after the war.
This isn't going to be popular, but fuck her. She shat on our chance of change. I'm still going to vote for the current Dems because of obvious reasons, but I'm not going to like doing it.
Same Biden got my vote but only because the alternative is worse.
I am seeing more Warren in the news lately. Are they trying to make her an alternative to Biden?
