And I read in another article by Josh Ellis in X, on how Vegas is running short of water, and the article ends as :  That's all any of us can do: hedge our bets and be smart enough to see what's on the horizon and meet it with adaptability and resilience.

That's my only real message to people: be aware, be adaptable, be smart, and don't take for granted that Someone In Charge will fix it.
