we could solve the western water crisis overnight by simply charging alfalfa farmers market rates for water

Across the basin, alfalfa hay uses more than 5 million acre-feet of Colorado River water — that's 26% of all the water consumed in the basin. One acre-foot roughly equals the annual water use of two or three households.
In the Upper Basin, irrigated agriculture consumes 2.8 million acre-feet, or nearly half the water used by Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, the environment, reservoirs and water exports out of the basin. Cattle-feed crops, like alfalfa, consume 90% of all water used by Upper Basin agriculture.
That means alfalfa uses more water than cities, commercial users and industries across the entire basin:
Collectively, these users consume about 3.5 million acre-feet, or 18%, of the river's water. The Colorado River

This is a poor take that suggests Owen Jones doesn't know much about Russia in the 1990s, including Russia-US or wider Russia-West relations in the 1990s. By giving only one part of the story, he is repeating the Russian political elite's self-serving line that it was all the West's fault. Long 🧵

just saw an update to this

UPDATE - FtM transgender facing two different issues at work?

BiL met the head of HR and CEO yesterday. They were super apologetic and said this should never have arisen, and that local HR and management had overstepped the mark by some way. CEO said in her view the court rulings were wrong and created a untenable position for employees, managers and service users. Local HR management are currently suspended pending an investigation, what I did not say in the original post was that she had been the one who had instigated everything and that they had had compaints in the past about her attitude to LGBTQ+ staff and service users.

At the location they have designated two toilets and changing rooms as any gender (out of six total) and the workmen started this morning to replaced the doors so that every cubicle in all teh toilets are fully enclosed. My BiL has been told that as long as no men object to him used the male facialites then he should use what he wants with the exception of the showers until they can be made fully enclosed in the male only facilaties, which might take some time.

He went back to work this morning and it was fine. His male colleagues have been fine about it and joked that he was better equiped than some of his CIS gender colleagues! Not sure about if that is appropriate workplace banter but he was happy.

I think that some people are just making mischief and the site HR manager and her boss seem to be that 'type'.

Please if you comment do not start any discussion about the rights and wrong of the court ruling, being transgender, or be derogatory about transgender people. This is not the place

Also thank to the MODs for keeping the homophobes at bay from the last post.

TIL that Mohamed Atta was a professional urban planner, of the preservationist nimby persuasion, and that his graduate school thesis was about how high-rises ruin neighborhood character 😳.

Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta that reads, “ At the Hamburg University of Technology, Atta studied under the guidance of the department chair, Dittmar Machule, who specialized in the Middle East. 19] Atta was averse to modern development. This included the construction of high-rise buildings in Cairo and other ancient cities in the region. He believed that the drab and impersonal apartment blocks, built in the 60s and 70s, ruined the beauty of old neighborhoods and robbed their people of privacy and dignity.”

Back in the day, the point where fracking became profitable was about $100/barrel. If that's still the case, now that Brent is closing in on $110, data centers might get a run for their money for water usage. Fracking uses a lot of water.
