            Yeah bordering an underprepared but highly militarized country during a resource shortage is probably going to be a problem for them. Feels bad man

          Don’t worry, we’ll let you become Americans. How does the state of North Montana sound?

        That is surely one of many issues. Some localized like water, and some will be wider like food shortages. All avoidable, but somehow not.

          Once water gets too scarce it will no longer be a “localized” problem. It’s necessary to survive and it traded as a commodity.

            I don’t see it happening as we are entering a period of explosive progress with AI that surely will find ways to make water bountiful all over. Not a guarantee though and for sure the path to that future will have some bumps. Already has some.

              Our AI overlords need that water to cool their serverbanks though, so guess we are shit out of luck on that one.

              sea salt removal and making water molecules 1 by one should save us

      We’re aware. I propose we eat the boomers. Gen X is okay, though.
