What do lowering taxes have to do with water running out in the UK?

Well we're not going to lower the taxes on normal wage earners, silly.

But we need to lower the taxes on the wealthy and corporations (and reduce or eliminate regulations) so they can distribute their capital to make new water!

Don't you know anything about modern economics?

		Just flag them. They're blatantly breaking the guidelines and they don't care because they're not getting flagged enough. HN is largely user-moderated and we'll continue to see more drivel like this if people aren't diligent about downvoting, flagging, and reporting especially egregious comments to the mods. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
