C) charge them the for the water they are pulling out of a river they don't actually own.
They decided to farm in a desert because they could pass the enormous cost of doing so to other people. They aren't owed shit.

I want to know what is wrong with people that they vote to protect abortion but then ALSO vote gross Christian fundies into office.
It's just racism isn't it?
Right? He wants all the unofficial but traditional perks and benefits of being a president without being bound by all the traditional obligations and expectations of the office.
It's like he thinks being rich gives him an exception to all this shit, but he's to stupid to realize that MOST American Presidents are rich, many of them more than he'll ever be.
That's Trump's whole life. He thinks being rich cures him of rules and obligations, but then he wants into "high society" because of the access and authority that it provides. But that price of admission to that circle isn't JUST about being rich, it's about following the very rules that Trump doesn't feel bound by.
It's why the only thing he can think to do with the office of the president is trying to find cool stuff to show people to make people fonally like him.
This is America, even rich people can be trash.
Sadly, while abortion is a losing issue for them, their racist politicians are often winning in the same ballots that abortion is being protected on. Conservative women will protect their right to abortions but still happily vote for racism at the same time.
That's what these guys are missing. They are losing on abortion because enough Republicans care more about their own rights than about racism. Lucky for them, the ballot measures mean they don't have to choose. They can protect abortion back home and keep on sending fascists to Washington.
Or maybe they literally blew up their whole continent and got to start over again after learning how shit worked.
Europe is old, but their current governments and infrastructure isn't.
Should a Jewish photographer be required to work the klan themed wedding of Baron Trump to the reanimated corpse of Eva Braun? Just because they were asked to?
A single proprietor business should be allowed to deny any job that they aren't comfortable working, just like any employee of a company could refuse to work such a job.
I don't like bigots either, but requiring a photographer to work at whatever event wants to hire them is absurd. You don't lose all right to autonomy just because you offer a service, least of all a service that provides nothing that anyone actually needs.
I would refuse to work at a Trumper wedding, so I'm glad we have the right to say no to that. That's the whole point of this ruling.
If this was a photographer of color refusing to work a klan wedding no one would be arguing that they shouldn't have been allowed to say no.
I think you might actually have just gotten the point here without knowing it. It's perfectly reasonable to pick a photographer who's not a bigot, just like how I would choose not to shoot photos for bigots.
You get how this works now?
If you are going to be an advocate / ally you are going to need more tools in your box that "hrr Christians bad lol". There are a ton of rational positions to take her they don't make the good guys look like morons.
Sometimes the downside to robust consumer protections is that you don't get all the stuff. Norway has a guaranteed five year warranty that likely impacts profitability of compliance for some products.
We had an old 286 running the HVAC at a hospital I worked at. This was a hospital with about 2000 employees in a major American city.
These farms produce alfalfa for animal feed, almost exclusively. We just don't need the amount of meat that we currently consume, it's just about the least efficient way to turn water into food. We could just lose these farms entirely and it would just make steak and dairy products a bit more expensive, which they probably should be given the massive environmental impact from producing them.
