I'm not sure if it's a good idea to motivate bottled-water companies to send their trucks over structurally unsound bridges just because people will pay $10 per bottle on the other side of the bridge.
- nostromo 15y agoYou might think differently if you didn't have access to clean drinking water.
- teyc 15y agoDelivering water under extremely hazardous condition is an act of heroism. One doing it should not cheapen it by trying to extract maximum rent, especially from people who might have just lost everything.
- Lazare 15y agoActually, it's an incredibly good idea to motivate bottled-water companies to find ways around structurally unsound bridges to deliver needed water to desperate people on the far side. And we have plenty of health and safety regs that prohibit, for example, ordering an employee to drive on an unsafe bridge, so that concern is rather a red herring.
