Tap water in some places is nasty. The water here even sometimes smells bad. Where I used to live the water even left weird stains on things. I sure am not going to drink it.
Or situtations during say hurricanes or other natural disasters.
I mean I get it, it is a meme and a common trope to attack bottled water. I somewhat get it but honestly living in Arizona, I've seen tap water come out cloudy from time to time. Arizona water can also go hard. I do drink bottled water, often times it is more so from electrolyte water (with or without flavor) or Liquid Death canned water.
Why was there no investigation when babies died from contaminated baby formula? Why did they shut down a factory to avoid PR repercussions? A move that led to the shortage today? Why did they make it illegal to import baby formula from Europe that has more stricter health codes than the US?
Why did the GOP cry about formula being set to 'Illegal Babies', then vote no on the bill to ease the baby formula shortage to help American babies?
Because capitalism inevitably ends up with a few huge corporations having a whole bunch of power.
Look I'm not a liberal share the wealth kid. I'm all in on the capitalism concept....I work hard make more money.
Reality -- anything we NEED -- somehow becomes a monopoly -- utilities, for example.
1. There was no evidence the babies got sick from the formula. 2. The factory was shut down for unrelated sanitation issues that the FDA did not like. 3. When you use a "just in time" system to delivery of products and do not store a bunch in warehouses then any production issues cause an almost immediate shortage. You have no buffer of stuff stored somewhere. 4. To prevent this in the future from a personal level, lay in a stock of stuff that you MUST HAVE. At least three months worth.
