    Everyone paying attention knows. Unlimited water extraction from wells? When technology let you pump 100gallons a day, sure whatever. Oh, today you are watering fucking pistachios in the god damn dessert to sell to China. Fuck me… Gotta pump 40-100 gallons per tree per day. Got a thousand trees? 💀💀💀

    Every single pistachio takes 1-2 gallons of water to produce.

      You’re right, they think they’re pumping endless magic underground water without realising… Aw fuck we depleting the water.

        I doubt it. My guess is, “As long as the water is their to pump in my lifetime, that is all I care about”

          WDYM “in my lifetime” ?

          I’m sure a lot of these cunts are aware the water is running away because they would literally be chasing it with deeper wells.

            They know the water is going to run out but as long as it lasts for them, fuck the future generations.

              That’s… not what’s happening.

              They know the water is going to run out and they want to use it first before their competitors.
