I thought it was per liter and moved on to the comments but I now realize that that would've been even worse. Don't really know what I was thinking, I can be stupid at times
Well... Free at the point of use. We pay what's called council tax which is a tax on the value of your home (even if renting) to cover services like street lamps, sewage, water, libraries, rubbish removal, etc.
But, it's free to use as much as you want. I could leave my taps on all day if I wanted, there's no meter, no charge per litre. So considering I have to pay that tax just to live, water is essentially free.
Obviously some countries have more access to water than others, but those without the worry of drought or rationing should definitely have free at the point of use water.
Fuck private interests, fuck profiteering, water is essential for all life, socialist public controlled water for all is the way to go. You only have to look at the water scandals of England to see what private control of water gets you.
Just some context: Lidl has this sort of campaign going on for years as of to promote their own store brands - other markets here do that too. They do the same with showing a shopping cart consisting of store brands vs brand products and on how much money u can save.
Maybe they can use the current momentum to push this campaign more …
Even if Lidl is not a monopoly it is currently, it will become one if we let it. Just think about it:
they control a lot of stores
it is still controlled by a very rich man
they will soon push out many independent products for their own
Even if we can't outlaw making a profit from the means of production, we should at least make all critical infrastructure (like supermarkets) be owned by a in German we call them „Förderkreis” with an ethics committee where the people working there and others associated with it can democratically vote about any and all changes.
Coke Zero did a major flavor change a few years ago (same time they changed to logo to a primarily red bittle with black text instead of the opposite), and I actually really like it now.
I wish it was still called Max over here. The design was cooler back at the very beginning, but "max" still sounds cooler than "zero sugar". I understand why it changed for marketing, but I still think it's way less cool sounding and as extra syllables when I mention it.
