"Where does the supply come from, motherfucker!"
Won't anyone think about businesses needing to make money?
so if you remove the entire essay this loserbitch wrote his argument boils down to "it's a business, they're allowed to do whatever they feel entitled to doing, because they're a business".
and these people think they aren't conditioned, housetrained, and brain washed.
yeah, I noticed that. the first line is all "they're just a business" like business schemes aren't the thing literally doing all the evil shit on the planet.... hoarding housing, gatekeeping healthcare, climate destabilization, obliterating the biosphere .
I think one shouldn't overlook that according to this comment the water bottlers get all their manufacturing done for free by the taxpayers, as it is the governments job to filtrate / clean / provide water and then they just package it.
Yeah, essentially that...
"Our businesses is selling plastic bottles that, incidentally, are filled with water." 
Oh, well, if that's the case then I hate capitalism and I dislike the company anyway.
It's public domain you are taking something public ie without a monetary value and creating a commodity out of it.
Do businesses have the right to dump toxic sludge into the river, after all its public domain.
I think there is something to be said about private water bottling being a service access issue. But that doesn't mean the bottlers are good, it's a parasitic service that involves making money without doing anything.
Food companies are evil yeah
I’ve reached a point where I have absolutely zero patience for this kind of boot licking.
absolutely zero patience for this kind of boot licking.
As for any normal person, regarding the rentierism of water, the liquid of life
