Six weeks ago we highlighted how “screwed” Las Vegas is as the ongoing 14-year drought weighs on water levels. Today, AP reports,Lake Mead – the main source of fresh water for Las Vegas and its 40 million visitors – just hit record low levels at 1080 feet. Most concerning – at 1,000 feet, drinking water intakes will no longer function and Las Vegas will go dry. As analysts concluded previously, “unless it can find a way to get more water from somewhere, Las Vegas is out of business. Yet they’re still building, which is stupid.”

This happens every time the stupid class moves into an area.
Putting a city in a desert, building houses with lawns that require water in a desert. Washing cars in a desert. Diverting water away from crops (that shouldn’t be grown in a desert to begin with) and animals that are our food supply in order to accomodate urbal dweller’s luxurious living.
Expecting nature to adapt to human’s desired outcome is a progressive, retarded idea.
This is a manufactured crisis based on hubris.
