it's the demand delta, not the total demand, that's concerning. Also not all use cases are created equal: using water to keep people alive is legitimate and using water to build a machine that can automatically almost count the number of vowels in a sentence is not legitimate, especially when that usage drives up demand and makes it harder to use water to keep people alive.
- shepherdjerred 13d agoWhy do you get to choose what is and isn’t legitimate?
- estearum 13d agoWell "you" don't "get to", but this is precisely why we made the concept "states" and use "state power" to counteract other natural modalities of power. Which is being demonstrated by the use of state power to kill data center development.

- ratelimitsteve 12d agothere's a really special type of crowd to whom you can say "People staying alive is good" and their response is "SOURCE??!!!"
- shepherdjerred 12d agoWhat are you trying to achieve by posting comments like this? You're not trying to have a discussion at all.
- _DeadFred_ 12d agoBecause the water system is a public utility funded by the people who live within the community? Little Red hen, why do you get to choose who get's to eat your bread?
