Katherine Korman was 82 years old in Arizona. The March heat reached 105 degrees inside her home. She died because her power was disconnected. The Colorado River snowpack has hit 22 percent. This is the lowest level in history. Farmers are selling water rights to tech hubs. They liquidate the future to pay current bills. In the Persian Gulf, Iran targets desalination plants. This is the era of Engineered Thirst. Water is no longer a human right. It is a tactical deterrent. The elite secure their own private supply. The working class is left to dry out. We are witnessing the enclosure of the weather. Climate disasters and anti-homeless policies compound each other. Over 200,000 lost their homes in Los Angeles fires. Homelessness is now a predictable consequence of catastrophe. Every home lost increases the street population. The state responds with facial recognition bans. But it does not offer water or shade. San Diego is shopping a surplus of seawater. Arizona water managers are discussing a deal. The Colorado River reservoirs are nearing dead pool. Glen Canyon Dam may stop producing power. This is the structural collapse of the West. Capital treats drought as a market opportunity. The poor treat it as a grave.
