Water privatization is about liability and profits, nothing else...
Because if water is not a human right, as in getting free water from nature or paying
a water company for its delivery than it is not a common good. Common goods are property
of all and if a company is polluting a common good than it is liable for that pollution.
But, if water is not a common good, that liability is diverted to the cleaning process and the
water company that "mines" that raw material called water. So, even in nature their would
be no guaranteed access to water if you would take the effort of collecting it yourself.
This because polluting something that is not a common good isn't all that bad... But still,
you cant drink that polluted water...
Now look at the bigger picture: Fracking pollutes water found in nature... How can a company
that fracks ever cover the cost of the pollution it causes? In principal there is not even
a way to calculate the risk that fracking company is running, so how can it ever pass
that on into the cost price of fracked oil or gas?... So, it's easier to say "water"
is not a human right, because that takes away any direct liability and
any costs incurred for (the) cleaning is passed onto another company...
Thanks for watching and see in the next video...
Bye, bye...
