Explain to me how one would horde rainwater? Would you abide to a regulation that kept you from "hording" rain water if the regulators didn't provide you with water at a reasonable cost?

I take it you’ve never lived in an agricultural area with low rainfall. It’s a precious resource that is often managed communally out of necessity. It’s very common in Mediterranean climates.

I'm a farmer that lives in the desert. It sounds like you dig goverment overreach. Water rights are more important here then some alphabet agency telling you how to water your crops.

I’m a socialist, so yes, I dig “government overreach” over petty bourgeois libertarianism.

Funny because I'm an anarchist. One more miss and your gonna strike out. Telling people how they can and can't aquire water makes you sound like the petty bourgeois to me. Sounds like you need to do some mutual aid. I'm gonna hand out water bottles tomorrow morning and think of this interaction when one of my neighbors that doesn't have access to tap water thanks me.
