    I think the estimate I’ve seen that tries to compute this out has people showering once every 3 weeks and using the internet for ~1 hour a week. Is this the post-scarcity lifestyle you had in mind, am I confused, or have we tipped past the point of being able to do much better?

      Ah, we can’t produce water, can we? Better we check consumption, especially corporate.

        I’m not sure what you mean.

        But yes, desalination and cleaning are very expensive still afaik. We pipe water quite far between states, which seems crazy to me.
