[Vision2020] Water Sale Bill

[Donovan Arnold]

Joe,

Moscow is not in danger of running out of water anytime soon, certainly not in your lifetime or mine. 

The sensible thing to do is to not prevent businesses from expanding and new ones from opening up because they best thing we can do for future generations is to build a strong vibrant economy to pay for massive debt this generation has left the next ones due to its lavish greedy lifestyles. 

My point about all the snow and rain is that Moscow is not about to dry up. 

I also disagree with your premise that Moscow has drinkable water. You have a different definition of drinkable. :P

Best Regards,

Donovan

Well I'm not going to drink the snow melt from my sidewalk. It would be easier to just move to a town with running tap water.
I'm not saying we can't figure out ways to use the rain and snow. But a sensible, conservative approach would be to figure that out first, before you sell the drinkable water we have now.

Joe,

If we run out of water, people will remove the snow from their sidewalks, won't they? It also rains or snows on average over 150 days a year in Moscow. 

Best Regards,

Donovan

Well I've talked to more than a few water experts over the years and no one
 ever said 200-300 years when asked how long our water will last. The two most common answers were about 50 years and no one knows for sure. What we do know is that we're loosing water. Opinions vary about whether or not we can tell how much we currently have.

OK,

Now that we asked the question 7 times.  . .

That's what I was told. I would say namely by the late John Dickinson, but since he,
 unfortunately to Moscow's great loss, thanks to his selfless acts of random kindness (no good dead goes unpunished), is not here to defend himself. 

So I ask, who does know how much water is there? I know everyone in Moscow was bit'chn
about how there was too much ice and snow on the roads and sidewalks. I'm no Bill Nye, but I think maybe most the snow through some process called melting, becomes water.

Best Regards,

Donovan
