Purpose

  • Irrigation
gollark: I feel like you're drastically underestimating how bad life is without any modern technology.
gollark: Well, I do care about that, because having a worse economy means people's quality of life is generally worse.
gollark: I do think it would be good for cities to be split out into somewhat smaller cities with better land prices/traffic/etc, though.
gollark: Entirely anecdotally, I live in [RURAL AREA REDACTED] and don't like it because there is *nothing to do here*. Generally speaking, cities being less city-y would probably reduce productivity a lot which would be bad.
gollark: Hmm, so we need better treatments for age-related mental issues, you mean.
