      I just can’t help but think, what if people start pouring packets of gelatin in the water intake area?

      Sounds like fun

      they’ll all move, to Canada?

      I notice how none of the solutions proposed include MOVING people to where there’s more water, too expensive you say and yet…

        A person cannot just decide to move to another country and the next day they’re renting a home and working a job.
