    Since I do not eat meat everyday and red meat maybe once or twice a week even on a pretty low income grass fed beef would be very affordable. On my income it is not even a consideration.

    Actually I honestly think $1 burgers are a bad thing for the USA. We are too fat and too sick for them. This is not sour grapes this is seeing the silver lining. It would encourage other healthier foods. Food can actually be too cheap. Yes, I do desire free roaming grass fed beef. Since I

    I do think measures should be taken, but I know the people of Texas will never go for that. Limiting the water use of even 1 farmer/rancher before the water runs out will be seen as evil commie/social/mooslim/atheist talk. They will keep that tragedy of the commons going until the last steer dies of dehydration.

    Acid rain we avoided with a cap and trade system on sulfer dioxides. Much like what they want to do with CO2 since it is already proven to work.

    This is a real problem these days, if we solve any issue before the break down of society we get a bunch of ill informed mouth breathers beating their chests claiming there never was an issue.

    Rather than let the sea have that land, can't we build a 1m tall levee? Heck a 5 meter levee could be dirt and we would be covered for a while.

    The costs of re-aligning the land use will be high, but drawn out over a long period.

    I am not happy about any of this, but it does seem like something humans have dealt with before.

    So then beef production moves slightly north?

    Or maybe I can finally get grass fed beef from the USA?

    Over all a small increase in the price of beef is not the end of the world. The decreased red meat consumption would probably be a good thing on average for us.

    Texas still has lots of oil and natural gas. Its agriculture was living on borrowed time anyway. Once the aquifer went dry that was coming to an end.

    All Free software you can modify, open software does not have to allow that. Free software is not the same as no cost software.

    Lack of FFM, lack of customizability, lack of middle click highlight and paste. The fact that for some reason applications do not live in /bin and for some reason do not end up in my PATH after installation.

    The lack of decent package management is another huge pain. It means like windows many application have their own method of updating which is cumbersome compared to apt or yum.

    Basically my biggest usability complaints stem from a lack of X11 conventions that I expect with a UNIXy experience. The whole OSX desktop seems to be designed to only have one window open at a time.
