It was a sustainable oasis all on it’s own. Now it’s just a golf course.

This doesn’t sound like a dystopia to me. Having a sustainable oasis in the middle of the desert is actually pretty badass.

If we could financially exploit the desert we’d have companies pushing climate change along. Zero thoughts as to how many people die because of it. Capitalism does not care about people, only profit.

They could build a Starbucks in the rainforest and as long as they claim it’s somewhat “sustainable” you’d probably endorse it.

False equivalency. There’s a huge difference between a rainforest and a desert.

Not really. Visiting either is ecologically destructive and should probably be illegal at this point.

After thousands of years of my ancestors living in a desert, I guess we have to move now. Europe looks nice.

Agreed

No no no. You don’t get it. Forget the fact that this place reuses water to conserve massive amounts of pipe fed water as most other golf coarses do. Forget the vast amounts of water they use, vs the sustainable model this coarse uses.
The point is, we’re supposed to be MAD!!! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!
