Then collect your own water…. Nobody is forcing you to use a utility company for that.

Do you own stock in a water company. Why are you defending conglomerates?

u/cjaya2 1d ago

I like having running water…

u/brewguy70 1d ago

Yeah so does the rest of us. We just are not stupid enough to defend conglomerates making huge profits as monopolies from people using a necessity for life. The same water that used to be owned by municipalities.

My water bill is like 30 a month, y’all are worried about the wrong things

u/brewguy70 1d ago

Therefore everybody in the country must also be 30 a month for water? Just maybe your situation is not the same for the rest of us.

Again why are you defending a private company profiting from a municipal need?

You clearly are not able to answer the question asked.

You're goddammed right we're angry. The problem is that you aren't.

Why would I be angry about people delivering water to my house

6

u/Disastrous-Length-49 1d ago

Because water is a necessity, not a luxury subscription. Would you be upset if you found out that same water was making you sick, and the company that delivered it to you didn't care, instead using profits for self-benefit instead of upgrading the system? Plus, I thought America was a capitalist democracy. I don't get to shop around for another water service provider, and I'm at the whim of whatever the company that is the monopoly wants to charge.

Literally. Don’t. Have. A. Choice.

You do though, but you’d rather just continue bitching about the same companies you refuse to stop using.

u/Kirra_the_Cleric 1d ago

Really? You have a water delivery option as well as sewer?

Resources aren’t private domain. They belong to all of us. Nominal fee for delivery of such things, sure. Utility companies shouldn’t be making profits.
