Summary
In this episode, we're talking all about the water crisis, and why it's a global problem, and how we can fix it. In particular, how do we deal with the growing demand for water around the world, especially in places like Las Vegas and the United States, which are experiencing the worst drought in the history of record-breaking drought.

And the next frontier will be the water itself.
00:00:02.680
We've talked about the water wars for some time,
00:00:04.520
but that is actually kicking into high gear right now,
00:00:06.640
especially with, well, you have super, you know, crazy drought in some areas,
00:00:15.900
a thousand people dead or something like that, crazy.
00:00:18.960
But in Las Vegas, they're actually going to restrict water now
00:00:26.340
Efforts to conserve water could change the face of the world-famous Las Vegas Strip.
00:00:32.340
Under one proposal, new hotels would not be allowed to include water features in their designs,
00:00:38.280
like the popular fountains at the Bellagio Hotel.
00:00:42.160
The proposal will be voted on by the Water District Board in the coming weeks.
00:00:45.940
Other proposals include limiting how much water golf courses can use
00:00:49.800
and fining homeowners for using too much water there in Vegas.
00:00:53.400
There's more in terms of the water being on the front lines of the new kind of control mechanism.
00:00:58.340
Actually, here's an interesting discussion at the World Economic Forum
00:01:00.720
over how climate change is kind of nebulous and kind of hard to understand.
00:01:05.380
However, if we pin the whole damn thing around water and access to water,
00:01:09.700
people will be able to understand how severe it is.
00:01:14.080
But it's also equity that goes hand-in-hand with self-interest everywhere in the world.
00:01:18.920
Because if we don't solve those equity problems, we're all going to be affected.
00:01:23.200
And that's what it means when we say it is now a global commons issue.
00:01:27.880
Equity and self-interest come together when we want to solve the water problem,
00:01:32.480
just like when we want to solve the problem of the climate crisis.
00:01:40.600
Equity is everyone's interest, everyone's self-interest everywhere in the world.
00:01:48.140
Can I add something just based on what you've just said?
00:01:50.360
That's also, of course, true with COVID, right?
00:02:02.800
We are all only as healthy as our neighbor is on our street, in our city,
00:02:11.240
Did we actually manage to vaccinate everyone in the world?
00:02:17.620
and what it means to work together and see it both out of that kind of global commons perspective
00:02:22.320
but also the self-interest perspective because it does have that parallel.
00:02:26.080
It's not only important, but it's also important because we haven't managed to solve those problems
00:02:41.680
Every kid knows how important it is to have water.
00:02:44.200
When you're playing football and you're thirsty, you need water.
00:02:46.380
So there's also something about really getting citizen engagement around this
00:02:50.360
and really, in some ways, experimenting with this notion of the common good.
00:02:54.500
Can we actually deliver this time in ways that we have failed miserably other times?
00:02:59.480
And hopefully we won't keep failing on the other things, but anyway.
00:03:04.440
It's basically like, okay, we have identified a problem here.
00:03:08.060
Obviously, the solution to it is more globalism.
00:03:17.080
So have you seen, do you notice how they keep trying, right?
00:03:25.280
They're trying to find one thing which will make you and everyone else out there
00:03:33.520
It's not about actually the issue that they're pushing at the time.
00:03:36.140
It's about using the issue to get you to submit and accept the solutions to the purported problem.
00:03:44.560
So now, just a heads up on that, you're going to see a water issue next,
00:03:48.280
and it's going to be all discussions about water.
00:03:53.040
We'll be covering that here probably within a month, maybe even sooner.
00:03:56.120
The feds have sent out health officers to test water.
00:04:02.360
And how they're doing this is they are sneaking around Saskatchewan.
00:04:08.680
Trespassing on farmer's land to test the water.
00:04:12.520
Now, while all this is going on, the government is also trying to demonize the beef industry.
00:04:19.420
The Saskatchewan government has said if they proceed to do this,
00:04:22.440
that there will be consequences and they will start arresting them.
00:04:26.120
It's already too late, and, you know, I don't believe them to begin with.
00:04:31.160
Two days, two fucking days, after the first report of these feds trespassing on land and testing water,
00:04:40.740
there's reports of anthrax in Pyapot, Saskatchewan.
00:04:45.560
It says right here, Saskatchewan Agriculture says,
00:04:47.780
anthrax has been discovered in the rural municipality of Pyapot.
00:04:52.840
In a terrorist attack, bacteria such as baculosanthrac, blah, blah, blah, could be released into the air or in the water or food.
00:05:01.080
Two fucking days after the reports of them trespassing.
00:05:05.900
And who the fuck knows where they've been, where they haven't even been caught.
00:05:10.720
After just a quick Google search, Pilot Butte Moss Bank pants areas.
00:05:18.040
So if you're in those areas, you seriously need to look at your cattle and treat for anthrax.
00:05:23.920
If the feds have to sneak around, trespass, and break the law to do the job,
00:05:41.980
If they were just testing water, they would go into that person's yard,
00:05:46.060
they would knock on their door, and they would ask for permission.
00:05:48.860
But no, the federal government has played their hand.
