Okay, but that’s kind of their job? Like have we not set up an adversarial system where capitalist interests are morally obliged to do exactly that shit? They are by definition and by nature going to exploit every opportunity to arbitrage a situation. If we give them all our water and tell them it’s free, they’re going to use it.

you can’t see past your own ego

It turns out that we were the velociraptors all along.

Isn’t that a water buffalo? Not the same animal as the American Bison (commonly known as the American Buffalo.) I think once they have a 200 year old city named for them, you just have to accept that that’s what they’re called.

It’s not implemented very well and it essentially punishes you for blocking people and distorts your view of things that don’t necessarily even have to do with that person.
