Drought-shaming is what we municipal authorities do when we cannot figure out how to uphold our responsibility to supply enough water for our population.
The reason we can’t supply enough water is mainly because doing so would cost a lot of money, and these high costs would make it more difficult for us to use taxpayer dollars to continue buying votes from dependent constituencies.
These votes are necessary to keep our asses ensconced in cushy government-paid jobs we don’t really have the skills to perform.
Well in the U.S. no one higher up has the brass to say, we don’t have enough (California) .
