It would mean permanent disruption of asset integrity, a new kind of revenue flow where the only thing that matters is your physical access to scarce freshwater, and adjusting to market conditions where you are being physically welded to the hood of a car owned by the warlord leader of a gang of what will be known as "mega cannibals".

...Just like I assume the article in The Economist says.

There is an archive link to the article. If you want to say something smart, read that. Otherwise, just assume that you're going to say something uninformed.

If this is the kind of smart thing I'll be saying after reading the article I'll just assume that I'm going to say something uninformed, thank you very much. I would expect this kind of casual aggression from our future mega cannibal overlords that I am still sure the article speaks about at length, but not from a new internet friend and "thread buddy" like you.
