Millions upon millions of people are barely getting by as it is, and the situation will get a lot worse before it improves. Sadly theres not much anyone can do about it.
This is just another sign of a looming downward spiral unless there is some kind of serious population control. Once the water is gone, you basically have nothing.

Thank you for this post as I have been saying this for YEARS and have been called a racists right wing whacked out nut job for doing so! "You want to tell me how many children I can have? Never, not in this lifetime"! The first time I heard this was in San Francisco. I never thought I'd hear a "Screw you I got mine" from a liberal! Well this is what you leave to your kids then, another mess for them to clean up unless we get really lucky and some disease we have no cure for takes out about 3 BILLION people, sad to have to say. Who feels like going to war over basic resources?
