There is another way to look at it.
As water consumer, I have a right not to trust officials about tap water quality, and buy my own drinking water in plastic bottles!
I use Jackson example, everytime someone pushes "tap water is safe" bs!
- vrganj 20d agoYou're not simply a consumer. You're a citizen.
- throw93839394 20d agoI am not US citizen, I am (was) just a visitor (and consumer). I do not care about your local problems! Jackson gov was happy to poison people to save face and money. Some other people are happy to poison people with chlorine, to save on plastics. As a consumer, I have a right to choose whatever I feel is safe for me!
- vrganj 20d agoNeither am I. But presumably you're a citizen of somewhere. And that place should provide you with safe drinking water.
- throw93839394 20d agoYes, my goverment set maximal price on water bottles in street shops, to prevent price gauging. Making tap water drinkable, while 99% gets used for utilities, is seen as wasteful.
