selling off municipal water rights to a foreign sovereign wealth fund, THEN proposing a plan for a PRIVATE desalination plant, screwing over locals in price and environmental damage, then call the people communists for using their minimal leverage. all for the benefit of capital.
@bumbadum14 > Republican run state
> City puts water supply in the hands of ExxonMobil and the Saudis (among the most GOP-friendly institutions on Earth lol)
“Why would leftists do this”
To think, we've known about drought and an impending water crisis for a decade, but instead of spending our state's resources on critical public services like water, we spent $16b on border patrol cosplay.
A giant Exxon-Saudi plastics plant in San Patricio County this evening. The region’s largest water user, it consumes as much as 300,000+ residents.
Booted up in 2022, it has helped push Corpus Christi and its surroundings to the precipice of an unprecedented water disaster.
@bumbadum14 Me when i’m a retard
Desal would have destroyed the ecosystem/the fishing industry
Nobody’s fault but the city for selling out without a plan
Mind you the petro giants that use all our water do not pay their share in taxes……imagine what the city could do with the extra $$$
@liberty68573592@bumbadum14 She’s not the one who sold our fucking water supply you shit for brains. She’s the one protecting the fishermen who depend on our bay ecosystem.
