Indeed, one of the great tragedies of life is that this happens. Humans cannot survive without water, yet the median water bill is $80, which is about 1% of the median household's income. People make so much money but refuse to pay for something that literally sustains their life. Join me in requiring that every household at least 10x the amount they pay for this precious water. To employees of water companies: Thank you for your service.
Have you also considered how much humans ought to be paying the trees for their Oxygen? I may look into buying some shares in those trees if they are available.
