Orlando urges reduced water usage due to Covid-19 related liquid oxygen shortage
- norov 5y agoFull title, which is too long to submit: Orlando urges reduced water usage as liquid oxygen used to purify water goes to COVID patients
- Proven 5y ago> In an interview with the People's Daily overseas edition's new media platform Xiakedao on Monday, a scholar joked about cutting off the water supply to Hong Kong.
- Scoundreller 5y ago> Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer asked residents to immediately stop watering their lawns, washing their cars and using pressure washers. Landscape irrigation consumes about 40% of the water provided by OUC. Isn’t this like asking people to get vaccinated?
- chrisseaton 5y agoHe doesn't necessarily have the legal authority to require anyone to reduce their water usage without additional legislation, so he's doing what he can do and asking. That seems like a rational thing for him to do in my mind. Do you not think so?
- Scoundreller 5y agoThey can’t change the price of water if supply gets cut?
- chrisseaton 5y agoIsn't that another case of asking people to reduce rather than requiring it?
- peakaboo 5y agoThey use literally any excuse to get that shot into people, including bribes. I just ignore all of it. It's obvious bullshit.
- noir_lord 5y agoYeah, there is something weird about that vaccine - before I had it I thought people where stupid not to get vaccinated, since I've had it I'm entirely sick of the utter cretins. Could just be a case of post hoc ergo propter hoc though.

- boublepop 5y agoYes, and by asking people to get vaccinated more than 50% of the population did it. Lets not start pretending that fascism is the only viable path simply because they are the only ones who achieve 100% compliance through killing everyone who steps out of line.
- airhead969 5y agoTragedy of the Commons like recycling contamination, opt-in vaccination, littering, or well water depletion. Asking a group of Americans to what's necessary never works because they don't care, are too clueless, too self-absorbed, or too dumb to follow directions. If it were Japan or Singapore, we wouldn't even have this discussion. American "excellence" in failure.
