It's pretty reasonable for people to expect that water will be available in cities. This is a small community, and even if they were able to identify unsustainable water usage, they don't have the political power to stop the agriculture machine from sucking the water dry, especially since water right laws were written before California was a state and trying to change them could be viewed as unconstitutional.
They should absolutely move and find an easier place to live, and take charge of their own lives. But it definitely sucks.
I'm for it, or maybe neutral towards it. People should be able to move if they want to. It definitely presents challenges, but they're manageable challenges.
No, I said if you wanted to, you could persuade your neighbors to not sell to immigrants, not rent to them.
And that would make you a dumb asshole.
On reddit, I assume that people that complain are dumb, here I figured you were just glancing through and not reading for comprehension. So go back and see for yourself.
What amuses me the most about this is that I never stated whether I was for or against immigration. You assigned a 'side' to my statement. I was merely asking a question.
Psychopaths can't empathize, but it doesn't mean that those who can't empathize are psychopaths.
Claiming that everyone who doesn't empathize is psychopathic is fallacious.
Humans can only empathize with those people who exist within their "monkeysphere" (Dunbar's Number). Those who claim otherwise aren't really empathizing, they're just lying to themselves so they can feel they are socially just.
