3. Trump and the billionaires do not want to pay

5. Hmmm. Maybe they want to monitize water. If it is all

polluted they can build factories to unpollute it and sell it to people like they are OPEC. We know how much they hate people getting free stuff like the free sun or the free wind with environmental technology. Everything has to be private equitized. Water can't be free. Or public. IMHO

6. Yes we are going to have to pay extra for clean

Food, air, water.

Then charge us to make it clean again

Yes they are buying up water rights.
So they can get rich selling water.
