With all that is happening to our fresh water supply globally how hopeful do you feel for the future?
The largest freshwater lakes and rivers are drying up. Record drought in the American west. Unusual rainfall patterns influenced by temperature. It all seems so insurmountable. If our best answer is people coming together to do the right thing then I have very little hope.
Do you think it is possible to "out tech" this situation?

Thanks for the honest answer.
I agree. The collapse of underground aquifers is very concerning. They took millions of years to form and once they are collapsed the water will not be stored in areas that it was historically found available.
Then there is deforestation and the loss of the freshwater "filters" that have kept the water clean and potable.
Then of course corporations and farms that are abusing the resource in the name of profit.
And then and then and then...
I also agree that many governments are going to stop exporting food products to feed their own population. Considering that many places exist today solely because food can be supplied to that area logistically we are about to see all sorts of climate change related migration that are going to further tax already strained ecosystems.
We are living through a Great Filter event.
How do people who can see what's happening convince the people that out right deny it? What can we do short of storming the bed chambers of politicians and CEOs and holding their feet to the fire? (This is not encouraging violence. It is a common turn of phrase.)

Yeah. This is going to be a long slow burn. When I say Great Filter I mean the fast changing climate that we will not be able to adapt to is going to wipe out the species. Not the meteor is coming get all the T-rexes into the cave quick!
We live in interesting times.

So....how exactly does one get into this?
Is 375 average for 2 weeks work in this industry?
Can you stack gigs so that you're working enough to survive?
Tl;dr I hate people and I'm sick of working with them. How do I get paid for fapping?
