Private equity owners will be wiped out in bankruptcy
USS said that its high debt, which funded several expansions and acquisitions over the years, became unsustainable in recent years due to high inflation and a downturn in residential housing construction in the U.S.
Many of the company’s biggest customers are construction sites, and lower construction activity cut into the company’s revenues while interest payments, fuel and labor became increasingly expensive, according to the company’s court filings.

- Comment on I have an idea ☝️ 3 days ago:
Not so sure, we are pulling resources out of the earth at a ridiculous rate. Even with green energy we are still reliant on mining for everything. Goods, fertilizer, the stuff for solar panels. We’re going to run out of easy to access stuff sooner or later.

- Comment on Clean, Limitless Energy Exists. China Is Going Big in the Race to Harness It. 2 weeks ago:
The world’s two superpowers are in a tightening contest to dominate the energy future. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. is intent on producing oil, gas and coal and selling it abroad. Its chief economic rival, China, has become the world’s dominant supplier of clean energy in the form of solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles.
Hard to disagree with that.

It’s an experience now. You can disagree with it, but it is. It hasn’t been just for gambling for a long time.

There won’t be an explicit decision to up and leave to create a new city
No. Shit. Sherlock.
Do you understand that you recycle water? Set up the system like Vegas and your toilet flush today is your drinking water tomorrow. It doesn’t go poof into the ether JFC. That means you only have to ship in the losses JFC. Piping in water losses is fucking easyyyyyyy. Relocating millions of people is harrrrddd. JFC you people have no idea how things work. Water prices will go up yes, quite a lot when you consider it’s close to free right now. It’s not going to be a expontially increasing graph until the end of time like you’re talking.

Vegas is a destination to its own now. Collapse isn’t happening. Give your head a shake.
- Comment on The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing 3 weeks ago:
I highly doubt in this scenario. Water is not that expensive even shipped. Building anything let alone a city? Fucking insane. Think about every house business and industrial builiding. It’s unreal.
- Comment on The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing 3 weeks ago:
Bum fuck nowhere might go under because there’s no business there anyway. Vegas and Phoenix are not going anywhere.
- Comment on The amount of ghost towns in the US and elsewhere will skyrocket in our lifetimes and become a normalized thing 3 weeks ago:
You can recycle your water very well. Vegas has a very low loss rate. It will be cheaper to pipe water in to replace losses than build an entire new city.

Same energy as: Soccer goalies use their hands, so it’s not football!!
Vast, vast, vast, vast majority of the game is with the hands.
