“I spend my summers in North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Due to limited water availability, the municipality limits lawn watering to once per week between the ungodly hours of 6 and 9 A.M. But many other liquids are in limited supply, and no such rule applies to any of them. We do not have unlimited reserves of orange juice, milk, wine, gasoline, oil, soft drinks, or apple juice, either. Yet, the government of North Vancouver, happily, has not seen fit to restrict consumption or purchase of any of these other fluids — at least not so far. Why not? Why shouldn’t these central planners extend their insights about limiting consumption to other scarce liquids?” (07/28/25)
