Nestle CEO Says Water Is Food That Should Be Privatized

Your philosophy is clear, your implementation is not. Most people in this country are subject to some kind of regulation of water whether it is in the West and Southwest where government gets to decide whether you can collect rainwater on your own property all in the name of the common good. That area of the country has a long history of water management challenges which is also why there are so many dams in that part of the country.

Whether it is government or industry, if you don't pay your water bill, your water is going to be shut off. I didn't invent it, that's the environment as it is today. And since government through zoning can control how much water is taken from your well or your community decides that you use to much from the common well, then you will conform to the community because they have the strength of law behind them.

Have a nice day.

I don't know where you live, but there are no such government controls/ limits on my water usage. I am also allowed to drill my own well to supplement my usage. So your statement is totally incorrect as it applies to me. I understand municipal water where it is necessary due to dry conditions in the SW or cities. But I would never advocate private business to hold the water rights. Their only allegiance is to their shareholders. They would rather see a person die of thirst than lose a nickel of profit.

Then of course you should hold true to your values and stop giving your money to any corporation. Get off the grid and build that wall around your commune.

Of course you have reams of paper documenting all the people who have died of thirst due to government or private companies who have shut off people's water.

Got hyperbole?
