Exactly. Industry always gets overlooked when drought hits and water restrictions kick in. I mean I don't love seeing people watering their lawns in a drought (let's not even start on golf courses etc) because I think it's dumb, but if you look up how many millions of gallons per day industries like O&G/fracking use, it's obscene that normal folk are shamed into conserving while they (industry) don't even get a mention in mainstream media.

Yup. Like how if normal folks get into debt trouble, they're on their own. Corporations on the other hand get bailouts with minimal conditions attached
