The hedge fund in question

Investing in water combines free enterprise with serving the common good and delivering measurable positive impact.

:citations-needed:

Providing reliable, regulated water and sanitation services in developing countries increases economic productivity, improves public health, promotes greater gender equality (liberating women and girls from the burden of hauling water) and improving eductaional outcomes.

MORE 👏FEMALE 👏 WATER 👏 WARLORDS

Water infrastructure investment in developed markets has an exponential impact on job creation and social stability.

Cannot wait for all those job openings with the new nestle paramilitary to help enforce social stability!

    Clean water is scarce, in a world of excess liquidity where most everything is in oversupply.

    Oh wow everything is in oversupply huh? Was the scarcity really artificial all along?

    The comparably low price of water relative to value leaves ample room for price increases to cover full costs of operations, capital investment, and reliable supply.

    THEY'RE LITERALLY ADMITTING TO IT THEY'RE GOING TO HOLD PEOPLE'S LIVES FOR RANSOM

      The jokes by GenZ on throwing pipe bombs at the Nestle offices seems more like a premonition now...

    And still my family wonders why my partner and I moved out of the desert southwest. It makes everyone really uncomfortable when we say the water is running out and we don't want to be refugees in a decade

      ...wasn't a significant part of that movie about how their (successful) speculation in the housing market crash made them feel terrible for making money off of other people's suffering?

      And then they just started investing in...water futures and prison stocks?

      Either we have a case of :blob-no-thoughts: or some fabricated empathy on the screenwriters' part to make these wall street suits seem human

        The guy who invested in water stocks was a different character who was depicted as basically a psychopath. His "storyline" was that he shorted the market pre-08 and everyone said he was stupid, but then he was proven right. He spends most of the movie doing nothing.

    I’m out of a job. This is neoliberal mad max in real life. I’m out of a job. Time to cash out my bonds for gold and lay a brood of glistening eggs deep out in the mountainside.

        Or keep the brine and use it to harvest lithium and other metals or road salt. We can process that stuff. Or just hual it up to Utah for that fresh inland lake breeze those bigots love.

        there's challenges to overcome and negatives to minimize. for water: it's the future. there's really no getting away from it. smart use, conservation, etc. can only do so much and with more and more people will not be enough. the ocean is endless and enormous and it's really dumb we don't go there to get water
