Super long form article on the politics of water, housing, development, farming and immigration in Arizona where the legislature is almost fully captured by MAGA nihilists and where the kinda-hero of the story is a Mormon zealot who believes in the divine inspiration of the Constitution

We’re fucking doomed y'all

I mean, Florida is essentially a swamp that was drained for real estate purposes

I've seen some pretty dire projections showing like almost half of Florida being underwater in like 40 years

The projections are based on models that ignore significant inputs, like feedback loops. The most common refrain we are hearing and will hear until the autoclave cycle completes is "Things are happening much faster than we expected". Which is what happens when you try to ignore reality.

These are quasi-evil things I'd do as a billionaire

Walt Disney was one evil motherfucker but he knew how to plan long term

Maybe my area will enjoy a second life as the next Miami or Key West.
