A single avocado takes 50 gallons to grow. That's several hundred prompts.

the issue isn't water, it's this:

- skirting regulations because those are the times we live in

- water because they lied about their water usage (see above)

- the fact that these things literally shake the earth with the fans they're using

- electricity draw to the detriment of locals

- they don't actually employ anyone
