Reply to comment by filosoful in Global fresh water demand will outstrip supply by 40% by 2030, say experts by filosoful

We were all taught that this would happen starting almost thirty five years ago in school. Shocked Pikachu faces shouldn't be a reaction by anyone.

Happy to live where we get fucking obliterated by snow fall every damned year and it's getting worse with global climate change. at least fresh water won't be an issue where we live. Keeping other people from other areas away from it sure as hell may turn into one though.

My guess: either the Great Lakes region or New England.

On the nose my man. My brother lives near Canada in NY, my sister near the great lakes, and we are up in the mountains of NH. Actually my house is in a glacial valley, at the basin surrounded by three mountains. so even when they get 6 inches five miles in any direction, we will always get 8 to 12. And the temp in winter is always ten degrees colder than any direction in five miles too. We really get shit on here. My siblings get Lake Effect snow that's just as bad. At least water won't be an issue for us. Lol.

I was like, hmmm... place in North America that's rarely in drought, has access to lots of fresh water, and people can legit bitch about that heavy white bullshit that falls from the sky. It's either this or that.

Full honesty, I was thinking you might be a Yooper.

I lived in WI for awhile. My form of NY raised communication style is not acceptable out in the Mid West. Fuck em, I like honest assholery over the saccharine niceness of that area of the country. Lol.
