    so if you remove the entire essay this loserbitch wrote his argument boils down to "it's a business, they're allowed to do whatever they feel entitled to doing, because they're a business".

      I think one shouldn't overlook that according to this comment the water bottlers get all their manufacturing done for free by the taxpayers, as it is the governments job to filtrate / clean / provide water and then they just package it.
