General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Water privatization by the richest rich is happening now ("hydraulic empire") incl. the Bush family [View all]A HERETIC I AM
(24,307 posts)My argument is with the statement made in the OP. You read it and presumably my two posts above. It is WRONG to say what he said. It's a flat out lie.
As far as the argument you are putting forth, I tend to agree with most of it in principle, but the fact is, unless you live in an area that gets regular rainfall and are willing to collect your own rainwater, then you are going to need to pay for SOME sort of water infrastructure. If you have tap water then you already do. Even if you have your own wells you have paid for the wells to be dug, the pumps, the pipes, etc. Water isn't truly free to hardly anyone in this world that wants clean, safe water delivered to their home under pressure.
Is it right that a handful of companies are able to monopolize large aquifirs?
No, it isn't.
Should clean, safe water be available to all humans on the planet?
Yes. Absolutely.
Is it reasonable to expect the above to be done for no cost?
No, it isn't
And finally,
Does the Bush family OWN the worlds largest aquifir?
NO...they fucking don't.
