In October 2017, at the age of five, the victim went into cardiac arrest due to extreme malnourishment and being forced to stand outside in the winter cold wearing only a diaper. The child survived, though officials say the abuse continued even after the cardiac arrest event.

Alrighty. We got Idaho parents free from brutally torturing their own kids, Arkansas Labor Law, West Virginia child labor laws, North Dakota saying no free lunch because they are poor, Matt Walsh wanting the age of consent lowered to 13, school shootings more frequently than a shooting in other democratic countries in a single year, most child and teen deaths (also caused by guns), and restriction of mental health services and gender affirming care for children on the list of stuff from a year alone.

Oh wait, we actually did protect the kids from that one book with the two penguin dads. Thank god (hopefully an understood major /s).

Not really. This is a comment to how ignorant you are about the abundance of water in the Sonoran desert.

Arizona generates plenty of water to make Phoenix about 4x bigger than it already is.

The water shortage is because we grow outsiders lettuce and alfafa to our detriment. If we cut out those two crops which is like a nothing's to our GDP we'd cut water usage by 65% and the city would have all the water it needs.

But be another ignorant outsider telling me how things are where I'm from and see how it works out for you

Edit: total industrial and residential water usage in Phoenix valley = 18%, agriculture= 82%. Alfalfa and leafy greens grown for export represent the lions share of that 82%
