    What are you talking about?

    I get not everyone has clean running water in the world, this sounds backwards.

    How do you end up in place where you can multifunction fridges but not clean running water?

        Hey! You watch your mouth! We’ve developed lots of things including how to efficiently go bankrupt from a medical emergency!

        Having freedom means the freedom to not afford living, too.

      The city of Flint, Michigan, has entered the chat. But in more seriousness there are plenty of mostly harmless impurities in many municipal water systems such as an excess of minerals i.e. “hard water” and water filters can improve the quality of water that is considered clean enough to drink.

      Had me thinking for a moment before I realized that I’m too European to understand this.

        Yeah, me too. If drinking water was unsuitable in my country, we’d hang the politicians from a lamppost or at the least talk about it endlessly in the newspaper until they did something.
