7. More than the end of fossil fuels, I fear the end of safe water

Where I live, the battle is on for the last of the fossil WATER. Phoenix is in a world of hurt, as is Tucson and all the areas between and around. Arizona is not alone in low water.

The powers that be might be hoping enough of us die of other causes + violence so our numbers are whittled down to where the very VERY rich will be able to hold us off.

Soylent Green might be people, but water is the basis for life and we are running out.
