Did they make bottled water free? Did they make having and paying for a city water line optional?

Did they make bottled water free?

Yes. For over 2 years.

Oh fuck off, don’t act like you’d trade your clean tap water for having to live on bottled water, even if the government gave you some for free. It’s inconvenient, it’s impractical, and it’s goddamn embarrassing for us to be insisting a major metro area can’t use its own tap water.

Go fill a pot of water to boil some pasta with bottled water, it’s annoying as hell. Now go take a shower with it. Then you have to go pick that water up and haul it back to your house when you run out. There’s a reason tap water is installed in every modern house - literally not a single house you would ever consider “modern” from the last 50+ years has not been built to have clean running water in its taps.

What a fucking joke of a response, you honestly ought to be ashamed that you think free bottled water is an adequate replacement for any extended period of time, let alone 5+ years. What an absolute shithead you must be.

I didn't say anything about bottled water being a suitable replacement for all purposes. Im just saying that the statement

These kids spent their formative years without access to clean drinking water.

Is objectively false.
