How Much Longer Until Us Cities Start To Look

How long until the great lakes run dry?

I heard that the world is running out of usable water and that those of us in America haven't seen the effects because we're blessed by the great lakes. If this is true, how long until the usable water in the great lakes (I'm assuming this is America's main supply of freshwater) runs dry? If or when it does run out, what will we use for freshwater?

Is it possible for us to run out of drinkable water?

How much longer will liberals try to bully the President?

It's a better alternative for them than screaming helplessly to the sky. Not nearly as fun to watch, however.

Why does china produce ghost cities year after year?

Google Earth photographs of China depict city after city of vast complexes consisting of office skyscrapers, government buildings, apartment buildings, residential towers and homes, all connected by networks of empty roads – with some of the cities located in China’s truly most inhospitable locations.

Images of these “ghost cities” – after countless billions of dollars have been spent on the towns’ design and construction – reveal nobody lives in them.

“The photographs look like giant movie sets prepared to film apocalyptic motion pictures in which some sort of a neutron war or bizarre natural disaster has eliminated people from the face of the earth while leaving the skyscrapers, sports stadiums, parks and roads perfectly intact,” Corsi noted. “One of China’s ghost cities is actually built in the middle of a desert in Inner Mongolia.”

Business Insider ran a series of photos of these Chinese ghost cities. One showed no cars in the city except for approximately 100 parked in largely empty lots clustered around a government building, and another showed a beautiful wetland park with people added using Photoshop.

ScallyWagAndVagabond.com quoted Patrick Chovanec, a business teacher at Tsinghua University in Beijing, who explained, “Who wants to be the mayor who reports that he didn’t get 8 percent GDP growth this year? Nobody wants to come forward with that. So the incentives in the system are to build. And if that’s the easiest way to achieve growth, then you build.”
