“Showing an ad” is a bad paradigm. Instead, get to know me. Find out my values and needs. Then, sell to me. Make me feel like you understand my problem and then show me several good options. That’s how you get the users with money to spend.

Buying up the properties with senior water rights seems a lot cheaper than building new reservoirs, dams, etc. What's the value of these types of properties? How much cash flow can the owners possibly be making? The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.

Perhaps there are different definitions of “derailed”.

After all one of the communication problems in this pandemic was that even technical, medical professionals could not agree on the definition of “airborne” as it relates to the public’s best interest.

No, that's still the wrong solution. A computer telling an officer that a car has been stolen - that mechanism is too easy to abuse - it ends up hurting totally innocent people. In most of these cases the driver even showed the officer their paperwork - a rental agreement showing they have the right to use the car.

Don't let a computer tell the officer to pull out their gun.

I suppose that depends on how you evaluate the success or failure of capitalism. The richest person in the world would probably say that capitalism is a great success. As far as the coasts, all life choices involve trade offs.
