How horrible! A profit motive attached to the extraction, purification, and provision of water!

Some people make money they otherwise wouldn’t have and others drink clean water they otherwise wouldn’t have. Hell on earth!

We also monetize water here. That’s why there are water bills.

Old comment, but at least we get to use the water our municipalities take, or our local governments get to have and use the profits for that water.

Instead, Nestlé ships it off and holds the profits, essentially robbing resources permanently from people that are just trying to survive. There’s an argument I’m infantalizing people, but still.
