> My water bill has doubled since 2025 The problem is, we have this expectation that we can live and do things in the desert and everything will just be fine. _That_ is the problem. The solution is to let prices increase "out of control" until there's response from people to change their habits, or new solutions that were previously unprofitable emerge.

This essay was really good and I think will prove to be pretty accurate in the long run. Not sure about 2030, but we’re certainly headed in that direction.

> They were very good at filing amicus briefs. They were very good at negotiating consent decrees. They were very good at producing reports. They had professionalized advocacy to the point where the people doing the advocating had more in common, socioeconomically and culturally, with the people they were negotiating against than with the communities bearing the consequences of the failures they were negotiating about. Great writing.
