"Several US States have made the collection of rainwater illegal, we even have a tax called the rainwater runoff tax because water falls on our property."
How is this a thing? I don't understand how collecting rainfall can be illegal.
"In some states, especially those out West, previous water law stated all precipitation belonged to existing water-rights owners, and rain needed to flow to join its rightful water drainage."
This bit is hilarious and sad in equal amounts. To claim the ownership of rain just seems ridiculous.
I think you may’ve gotten the wrong idea. It isn’t that hoarding water is illegal, it’s that the only thing that’s a crime in the U.S. is not making enough money.
