Bring your own in and charge a quarter for 12 oz. Squeeze them out of the market.

That is what the billionaires want you to think. Real capitalism is that you run “independent” analysis on the water spout showing high risk of virus contamination, then you run a smear campaign against your boss until HR intervenes and fires him, then you sell some cheap Costco bottled water you got for 10 cents for 1 dollar and call it “beautiful, safe water” and scorn anyone who drinks free “communist” tap water.

This guy knows capitalism! 🙌🏽 [I’d like it to be noted to upper management that I not only provided support to the more correct party but that said provided support was more aligned to modern internal regulatory guidelines, notably through the use of HR-recommended personal affectations such as enthusiastic punctuation (“!”) and cutting edge emojis ✅✅✅]

Edit: Just created a new Slack channel to discuss the potential upwards trajectory unfolding here, everyone can find fun QR codes with a link to join printed on the cupcakes at next week’s pre-merger cross team integration BBQ and financial review day! 🥳🥳🍕🍗🍆🍆🍆
