no. basically they're shilling for nestle water scandal type of operations.
edit: to those who down-voted me,
can you provide a reason why having more private profit driven investments on water is a good thing that we should aim for?
yes companies should not be allowed to hog a social good, and using an economics-style revalorisation will lead to the same dubious shenanigans done with carbon emission offsetting where companies will do some creative accounting to hide their value extraction.
- bradleyjg 4y agoI didn’t downvote you. The choice is often between private investment and no investment at all. It’s all well and good to say the world shouldn’t work that way but meanwhile people need water infrastructure while you are going about changing the world.

- eru 4y agoThat the interstates got built doesn't mean they were a good idea. There are always opportunity costs. The Soviet Union mostly managed to feed its citizens, but that doesn't mean we should copy the Soviet model.
