I generally agree with this, and the PRC is always sticking their nose where it doesn't belong and violating people's human rights and threatening other countries' sovereignty and I don't have a single good thing to say about them. But if there's one group that creeps me out more than the CCP, it's the Falun Dafa. Shen Yun, while objectively impressive and entertaining, is just the fundraising arm for this incredibly scary cult.

There were earlier agreements, but the Colorado River Compact was negotiated in 1922, after all 7 signatory states had been admitted to the union. They've pretty much been arguing about it and re-litigating it ever since, but as I understand it the main problem was that the rainfall estimates they used when drafting it were way too high. It just happened to be during an exceptionally wet time period that they took their measurements, and so they allocated water that never did come. And, yeah, they've known this for a long time.

Not if people don't watch it, it won't.

But, sigh, people will watch it, won't they?

Oh, good, I bet that they would on the prediction markets.

Just kidding. I didn't do that. But I wonder if somebody did.
