    We knew this, the Greatest Generation told us about this and taught us to conserve water and try to stop wasting stuff like this.

    Then boomers came along and said all this didn’t matter, details weren’t worth their time.

        Everything is a conspiracy by the government to restrict their fun.

        We need to cancel Medicare and social security for a few years, free them from big government so they can truly live.

    The government should ration water supplies to the people in the form of credits for so many gallons per year. If anyone, especially ranchers, farmers, water bottlers, or fracking companies, needs some extra water, they can buy the credits for it on the market from whomever didn’t use all of theirs.
