Splurge for me, conserve for thee.

Same with water in CA. Industry uses >80% of water in the state and the focus is on 30 second showers and bullying citizens because their representatives have been captured along with their press in the profit machine.

Residential homes use about 12% of the consumed fresh water in the United States.

Their whole industries that scrape a bit of profit off of a huge amount of America's water. Like exporting alfalfa grown in a desert.
