    The US massively overproduces food. We absolutely can afford to not water some of those crops.

          You can just… not wash your car. It literally doesn’t matter. If water rationing is in effect, washing your car should be the least of your concerns.

            I don’t care about washing my car. I care that they’re moderating our car washing while allowing foreign businessmen to use as much water as they want on hay that gets exported. And that could be fine if they were doing it in the Mid West. No, they’re doing it in Phoenix, Arizona. A region that knows it’s counting down to a zero day.

            So while I’m not washing my car, they shouldn’t be watering those crops.

        If you wash a car it uses less fuel. Dirt makes cars less aerodynamic.
