If you complain about the obscene profits reaped by the greedy fossil fuel companies, why don’t you likewise complain about the obscene profits other companies make? Consider this: even at its current high price, gasoline doesn’t cost as much as bottled water! We stupid Americans spend BILLIONS of dollars every year buying tap water in little plastic bottles. Compare the cost of finding, extracting, transporting, refining, & distributing gasoline with the cost of filling little plastic bottles with tap water! The profit margin on bottled water is criminal! (Those greedy water barons are laughing all the way to the bank!) Please, let’s at least be judicious with our contempt of greedy profiteers… |||| ---- ---- Before you ridicule this comparison, consider the massive amount of damage the water industry does to our fragile planet: Billions of little plastic bottles leach in our landfills forever… Massive amounts of nasty pollutants result from manufacturing the little plastic bottles… Massive amount of nasty carbon emissions come from the thousands of delivery vehicles that are daily dedicated to transporting and delivering this expensive product. We complain about relying on imported oil, and then contribute to the profit of greedy water barons in Fiji and Europe!
