Water. Energy. Food. Health. And money. I’ll call them, for simplicity’s sake, the Five Pillars of Human Civilization.
A society like Britain is running out of water, and yet nobody seems too bothered, until it happens, personally, to them.
This surreal horror nightmare of indifference, incompetence, a total lack of any kind of plan, agenda, or solution for the problem is true of all the five basic resources human civilization needs to survive on.
Water poverty. Food poverty. Energy poverty. And health poverty. All of which will add up to “real” poverty, aka financial poverty.
