Are they selling you the water or are they selling you the bottle?
water out of the tap or water from someones packaged plant
thats one way of looking at it hitman
i hadnt thought of that
its an interesting point too
they probably are selling you the bottle since they offer free water at fast food places... but they still give you a plastic cup
it's weird
makes sense why the cheap bottles are basically nothing and the fancy bottles are just that
"fancy"
i honestly forget which one i finally answered with on that question
Also, whoever wrote that question never lived in an area with hard water or well water.
i'm just gonna say agree, but not strongly
i do love me some country water hitman
ive had country water, my grandparents have a well
but by the flipside of that
places like flint
where the tap water is toxic
flint more like flint and steel
😂
is it right to charge them for that bottle of water?
should the government step in and buy them that bottle of water until till the taps are fixed?
could be easily argued that its the governments fault it got that way to begin with, maybe not the feds, but at least a local level
In the capitalist sense, they should so long as they make more from the tax money they pay then the bottled water costs.
i would have to agree
the length of time that problem has been going on is hard to understand sometimes
yknow, i've had the thought of this in the back of my head for a couple years now... simply, the human right to be given sufficient nutrition to survive, even at a basic level as water
and i don't know if i hold that value
maybe i'm too existentialist or something
I remember the crypto outbreak in Milwaukee back when. But with that stuff you can just boil the water to make it safe. So we didn't have to resort to bottled water.
i would like to think as a society we could achieve something like that without it turning into some sort of full on communist society
but i dont think we are there yet
yeah
But McDonalds still changed you their same price for a soda but they just gave you one can. Total rip off.
i think it's probably possible
i think a new system would have to emerge
i am just not the man smart enough to know what that is
elon seems to think itll be AI
and in a lot of ways i could see him being right
I, for one, would gladly welcome our new Tay overlady.
