is the water of the citizens of el paso in private hands?
Is it treated as a commodity?
rather than a public good?
Apparently so, to judge from what I've just seen (on line) on a local news channel.
A member of the local water mafia spoke about our "customers', uh hmmm, hmmm,
I am a citizen. And water is a public service...
Nonetheless, the ignorance did not stop there: due to an "act of God" they were uable
to provide water.
What was the act of God? cold weather.
Unusually cold weather.
As I have noted before, with global warming, extreme or unusual weather will be
more usual....
global warming? more precisely, anthropogenic global warming, i.e. warming caused by human activity.
Hence these (formerly) "Unusual" weather events are caused by human beings, not by any God or gods.....
this was a public hearing and no one spoke on either of these issues. The first silence may be excused as people tend to be very deeply confused about politics, but climate change is science. No excuse. Hence shameful ignorance. Not even a reporter commented. Sad. Sorry. Ignorant El Paso...
