I do, but they don't own Coke. And my tap water comes from my tap.
Every glass is profit stolen from the daddy Capital ๐ธ
Lol. That said, there are multiple companies involved in producing that tap water. So somebody is profiting from that glass of water, it's just a lot less than the bottled stuff.
I don't think we are quite there yet... water is generally municipal.
Right, but there will be contractors and whatnot involved in the process, and there is certainly commercial equipment used in the process.
that's how mixed market economies work, yes
Coke isn't much better

Gosh I'm jelly though, I'm in the UK and tap water used to be drinkable, but now it's more hydrocarbon than hydrogen dioxide these days. Joy of privatised utilities eh?
