Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I used to work on a national, multi-year multidisciplinary study on, without doxxing myself, basically what he is talking about... but across the US. we looked at technologies, practices, and strategies for conserving, reusing, and waste / ecological impacts. millions and millions of federal dollars were and are spent on both research and infrastructure upgrades, demonstrations, education, etc.
the brick wall some states have been racing, even accelerating towards has been visible from the cockpit for several years and usually decades, even by the politically cowardly and conservative federal agencies.
the small farms are going to go first, if they haven't already. then the medium, then the politically connected and wealthiest farms... though they will probably receive buy outs. the what remains of agricultural communities will fold too and accelerate dislocation and economic migration into the larger cities.
industry will greedily snap up whatever former agricultural water was around evaporating any surplus present after agriculture grinds to a halt.
this future is locked in. it cannot be resisted, only fled.
the fact that an elected official in Texas is using the press to convince the public that Texas needs more federal dollars with all its federal strings should tell you these are people want to be seen as crisis managers, but really looking to suck the last bit of the milkshake.
