Nevermind context, I'm taking the conversation in an entirely new
direction anyway.

According to R' Zeira, we fast when there is no rain during shemittah
"mipenei paranasas chashudim" (Y-mi Taanis 3:1, 14a). So, the people who
are violating shemittah might not gain through their sin, and that's
reason to fast?

I found that an eye-opener:
