Not all of the US is hell; I hear the future New California Republic (once they balkanize, expect it within our lifetimes) is nice.

Good luck with your no water.

I googled it and it looks like ~80% of their water comes from within the state, and the rest mostly comes from Colorado, and I guess those guys wouldn’t object to a water deal even in case of secession. Not sure if secession is even possible in US though.

I'd be much happier selling our water to California than to the Saudis growing alfalfa in the desert.
