A millionaire with nothing on his dinner plate is still a hungry man. There is something to be said for assuring the foundations of any project, whether national or personal:
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) -- As skyscrapers and
gleaming towers rose with lightning speed across the United Arab Emirates over
the past two decades, the Gulf nation's thirst for water grew at an enormous
rate - so much so that today, it
threatens to dry up all of the country's
groundwater in as little as 15 years, experts say.
To quench that demand, cities across the seven emirates that
make up the UAE rely on desalinated seawater to supply 98 percent of their drinking
water, but that comes with a tremendous environmental and fiscal cost.
A millionaire asshole, just like a poverty-stricken one, is still an asshole.
