Because it isn't a human right to stay alive

because you arent collecting or purifying it. if you want free water so bad then build a well.

Because we are controlled by the jew.

Because you cannot drink it 'as-is' and you don't have the ability to make it so.

Because we cant think of a good functioning system thats not driven by (((money)))

it is

Because you live on a floating desert

...

because greedy plutocrat globalists.

Just take the salt out of Salt Water like its easy c'mon now.

Because you don't cunt. It's completely legal in australia to install a two water tank and hydrate yourself.

Because the government maintains the pipes and systems that provide said water to you.

t. Man with a ground well.

>This is your brain on kangaroo shit

Auto correct rain to two. Fucking phoneposters.

Live in the outdoors, see how important, manageable and abundant your water supply is. Then put a price tag on it.

Faggot.

Maybe, alot of our state water companies have been privatised. With no competition they fuck us over. Services should never be privatised.

Oh no! The people are waking up! Quick, run some stupid celebrity for a political position!

You have to pay for the infrastructure, not the water. The water is free, the pipes leading to your property are not.

You don't But if you want it run though some purification equipment, which costs money, and then piped to your house, which costs money, then yeah, you got to pay for that.

You don't pay for water, you pay for it to be bottled and shipped, or pumped into your house.

Or if you have a well you pay for the electricity to pump it through your house. If you live near a natural spring you can get water for free

100% agree.

you don't have to. nobody is stopping you from digging a hole and bottling it yourself, ya lazy cunt.

Sounds like a man that has never seen an Australian water bill

This. either go to a steam and purify it yourself or stop bitch. Anyways they put shit in the water that turns you gay.

You're not paying for the water. You're paying for the costs of pumping it, purifying it, recycling it, transporting it, bottling it, etc.

>Go to the park or most public buildings
>suddenly free water

Also if were paying for the infrastructure and not the water why are we charged by volume of water used and not an infrastructure tax at a fixed rate?

>he fell for the human rights meme
Might makes right

Well, most of your country is desert, so there's that. I hear the jews build some amazing desalination equipment. Maybe they will do that for free, i dunno.
I had to pay $25,000 for my well, and another $5,0000 for my pump and filter system, pressure tanks, etc. That's $30k I paid for water, up front.

I couldn't pay for it if I wanted to, unless I wanted bottled water. I have a well and pay for the electricity to pump it out of the ground though.

>doesn't know how to change seawater into drinkable water.

consider it a tax

The utility isn't making money off your water bill, I assure you. The people who use the equipment most, should pay the most. Why should some guy get to water an acre of lawn and pay the same as a guy whose house is surrounded by dirt and never takes a bath?

go to the nearest river and drink it. no one is gonna stop you.

We have desal stations here they cost a fucking fortune.

Bathing or doing laundry in a public sink or toilet is generally frowned upon

You can go to your local stream, creek, river, or lake and get all the water you want for free. If you want that water purified, filtered and bottled, you're gonna have to pay for that service.

no

non-usury capitalism

They are very good at being efficient with water as well. In the US we use about 300 gallons per person per day, they use only about 50 gallons. We could make a huge belt of homes from Phoenix to Tucson that can support 100 million easy if we did that same thing, but there is obviously some sacrifice. I will give the kikes that though, they don't have much water but know how to use what they do have over there.

>non-usury capitalism
So socialism? Gotcha

They make money, but it's highly regulated and controlled by the city. They don't make much, but they get returns if you own one, hence the incentive to build them.

You need to pay for transport of it.

australians need to pay more for water. Its a resource, and a precious one to boot.

Here in st louis on the other hand....

We don't pay for water. We pay for the collection, purification, and distribution of water. You have unlimited clean, potable water available at the touch of a faucet. Why would you ever be entitled to something like that?

how can one person claim to have more right to a natural lake than any other person?
they didn't create it.
"saw it first" is not a legitimate claim.
any "private contracts" that buy and sell it stem from the fundamental idea that one person had original ownership of it.

It's really the fault of the British aristocracy. They are the ones who made lawns fashionable. They wanted to show off all the land they didn't need to sow. Everybody wants to be the king, and every castle needs a nice lawn around it.
I have succulents and native grasses, myself. Wild flowers and herbs. Very little water required for that.

>not making money
Water Corp chief executive Sue Murphy salary of $539,000.

They're making money mate. If it was about providing the service everybody would be charged a flat rate for their area. Your paying for the water.

I have my own pump. Get rekt, faggot.

For a public service position why is the bitch paid more than the potus?

I'm sure it's different everywhere. I know my nearest water utility is always running a deficit because of the geographical distance they need to supply with a very low population density.

capitalism doesn't inherently come with usury you horribly undereducated prole.

I can't speak for Australia, but I know my utility people don't make that much, but they do make a lot. However, that isn't the utility making money, that's a person, and they justify it by saying they have to pay a salary comparable to the most expensive they can find as an example. Our public servants are paid WAY WAY too much.

Why wouldn't you have to? Are you just that special that you get free water?

The POTUS salary is really just a gesture. They don't deserve any salary, to be honest. They make a killing on the side no matter what.

>Why do we have to pay for water?
you don't have to pay for water. Refuse to pay, they will stop giving you water, and you can get your free water yourself. Go drink from a river, or collect rainwater, or distill some water.
But all of these things, will take work. You will have to WORK to make water for yourself. so it really isn't free, and perhaps now you will understand why you must pay for clean water to be delivered to your home.

You have to pay your politicians cunt. Theyre doing a ducking job. So the potus is on 500000 aussie roo bucks meanwhile our prime minister is on 700000 roo bucks. Our public servants are known for rorting the system. There is fuck all we can do about it.

so you want somebody to bottle up that lake water and give to you for free.

because .. ?

>Go drink from a river
That capitalists poisoned
>collect rainwater, or distill some water
Remember to pay money for the supplies to do so!

>LOL WORK MAKES YOU FREEEEEE!!!

>Services should never be privatised.
All services should be private, commie parasite. Don't like the price? Dig a well.

you can drink it for free from a lake.

what a stupid cocksucker.

i can't believe people like you exist.

can't wait for the day when faggots like you will starve on the street.

Honestly a rainwater tank is the easiest thing to install and pretty fucking cheap. You even get subsidised by the govt if you have one installed here.

Why do we have to pay for food?

...

>Why do we have to pay for water?

Are you really that cluesless?

I really don't understand how people can feel entitled to that, especially when its sooo cheap. At least where I am it's cheap.

You're a fucking idiot

i never said that, no is owed free labor, or products that another person produces, because it implies that the other person must act for nothing in return.
but preventing people access to a natural resource because you profit from it is as jewish as it gets.

>service privatised
>has no competition
>can extort you for anything they want because where else you gonna get it.

Can't dig wells on aus because most of our underground water is not where people live.

Shit that shouldn't be privatised. Include roads, water, sewerage, electricity, telecommunications.
Private companies can use the infrastructure but they shouldn't own it.

Lets reformulate op's question

Why aren't the services related to water free?

meh, paying for water is pretty crap but bottled water is pure and tastes good if you have access to good stuff. Poland spring tastes good.

Ever drink mountain water from springs? Shit tastes awful.

lol wut, privately owned services don't have competition?
Government ran services don't have competition you moron.

Obama left office $200 million richer than he entered it, and that's just his declared assets. We pay politicians not to steal, basically, but it's a pointless effort because they rip us off anyway. The temptation is just too great. Why pay them a salary?

Because they cost money? I'm missing something here aren't I...

Isn't providing basic required necessities one of the main functions of a government?

I would legitimately just run every faucet in my house 24/7 if it was "free"

Fuck Donald Drumpf and fuck working, productive taxpayers

>t. well

also I was making a shitty pepe before the pepe thread got pruned for the guy who wanted some oc

no
government is there to pass laws that govern society so society can grow and not collapse

Private corps in australia dont have competitions and if there is its a duopoly. Public organisations dont have a mandate to generate profit, they have a mandate to supply the service at as low a cost possible. Private corps are all about that bottom line and without competition they can literally charge the highest amount people are willing to pay.
Private corporatiins will provide cheaper services in a market flooded with comp. Public services provide it cheaper when there is no comp much like our utilities.

That's a weird way of going around to confirm my statement, but ok.

Are you economically illiterate? Tragedy of the commons much? Natural resources are finite, desires are infinite. Money represents (outside of theft) he realization of value you've provided to others and placing a market-derived price to access finite natural resources is the best way of ensuring that worthless people (those who have not significantly contributed to others and thus have little money) are not able to squander the finite resources.

No though it is an obligation met by responsible governments.

because you will pay for it

You don't. Dig a well.

Would taxpayer funded wells still have xenoestrogens in them?

>be walking through Ohio
>out of water
>stop at auto repair garage
>"hey brother can I fill up my water from your sink?"
>"sorry user, but it's not safe to drink here. Take as much as you want from the dispenser"
>take 3/4 gallon
>"Thanks friend, blessings upon you"

even if it's free, you will always pay the equivalent of walking across Ohio.

State corporatism

Yes

You don't have to pay for water, just go and collect some from a lake or a river or something.

Fair enough, you must have more faith in your government then I do. Everything the government touches is ran with the least efficiency, they don't generate a profit but private companies (assuming no monopoly) will get their operating costs down far more efficiently out of necessity. There is no one telling the government that they're spending too much to run a water treatment facility.

Because it costs to pipe and pump it into your house. I have a well. Why do I have to pay for the well casing, drive point, motor, jet pump, check valve, various PVC and fittings and pressure tank? Because it costs somebody else to produce all that shit. I don't pay for water though. Just all of the equipment and electricity to pump it up.

>current year +1
>usuryposting

Define usury as distinguished from interest (time value of money). If you regard these terms as coextensive, explain to me why you are entitled to consume my goods or services without payment in full up front. Or would you require that all payment be made from savings alone?

It's the "purified" waste water they are feeding you that has the drugs in it, from all the roasties on birth control taking a piss, not well water.

Because it takes electricity and chemicals to clean it for you. Go drink out of a stream, no one will charge you a thing, but you'll probably get jardia

So it is our whole system that is wrong, as i said before we are not able to establish a society system that isnt driven by money.

you can have a society that meets the basic needs of its citizens without government, a lot more efficiently and with less violence

oh, because the systems to extract it and pipe it to your house didn't build itself nor does it maintain itself.

Same with bottling.

Nobody is stopping you from going to a river and filling up a bottle friendo

So I'm drinking hot girls pee?
