I work with a lot of automotive manufacturers and T1 parts suppliers, so a lot of rural Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Each trip usually includes an unprovoked "I don't know how y'all do things on the coast, but out here. . ."

But rural areas aren't really a fair comparison to the urban east coast if we're talking the merits of culture. There's a reason why I don't live in the rural Midwest.
Look at Chicago, Minneapolis, Detroit, Milwaukee, (lol not Cleveland), Indianapolis, Cincinnati, etc.

The future is gonna be wild in the west when fresh water sources start running real dry. Gonna get some fireworks when California, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico start fighting over water rights.

Having lived in Las Vegas for a decade, and watching the water reservoirs (lake Las Vegas, not Mead), start to shrink on a grand scale, I'm pretty certain this is accurate. They get some water from California but that's drying up, too. Gonna get real bad real soon.

Netflix's micro-documentary series, Explained, has a good (and terrifying) episode about how the world is running out of fresh water. There's basically no plan in any country to deal with it long term.

Actually you should just watch the entire series if you haven't because they cover some interesting and diverse topics.

What is the process that allows those to become a trinary superchemical? You'd think it would have more uses than the one listed.

e: or did I get snookered by a "source your quote" post?

ee: VVVV yep, recreating crude without the bunker oil. The viscosity of oil will help with sticking to vertical surfaces, diesel's longer burn time will help with getting surrounding flammable material to ignite, and kerosene will make the initial ignition easier. (But mixing them all together will make each's advantage less effective)

Also I got a friend, vet, doesn't post in here, but he lived in boston for like 99% of his life, so he thinks boston is everything and everywhere else is like boston.

He went to a great lake and found the stench of it. He wondered how it got that way and we had to explain how lovely that area has been also rivers that catch fire.

But how many of the great lakes right now are not full of garbage?

There are pockets in Buckhead where the absurdly rich white folk live that probably need to be razed just to make sure Atlanta's succession from Chudland goes smoothly, sorry grandad.

Basically anyone who makes more than a certain amount of money, especially in the southern US, has an increasing chance to be an irredeemable CHUD, and should be in the path of the second march to the sea.

the TL;DR of it is that the Aztecs where right, Magic came back in a big way, lots of humans mutated into meta-humans and native Americans used their new found magic to gently caress up the USA. Also add cyberpunk elements to it.

I take solace in the fact that when things go tits up, I'll be one of the first people against the wall as a liberal in a deeply conservative unit or I'll be postioned to be on the inside of the "real America." Either way, I'm executed, question is, will I take some of them with me in the opening shots or will I get rolled up in the middle of the night after I get ratted out? gently caress it, as long as I take two chuds with me, I've won a personal victory.
