This title is horrible, and the article is even worse.
Don't waste your time with the editorial, just watch the video.
What he said is:
"Privatize the 'normal' water supply for the population as it is not a public right"
Nowhere did he say "human right" and nowhere did he say that "all" water should be privatized, just the supply, which is not "rivers and rain" it's the water supply, which is cleaned, delivered, and on-demand in homes. the "supply" not "water", two different things.
And if you watch the whole video he goes on to say that as the CEO of such a large corporation he has a duty to ensure it's existence because corporations actively participate in solutions of the problems in the world, that they create jobs, (1.2 million directly dependent jobs for Nestle alone) and over 4.5 million if you add in spouses and children,
His whole point is that clean safe water that is delivered to your home should have a price, mostly because it takes millions of people to deliver clean water to your home and without a price on it, it would never be delivered. Because a million people wouldn't get up each day to deliver that water to your home if they weren't getting paid.
Go out and catch rain, or get a bucket and go to the river. That is your right
You have no right to go to the store and grab a bottle of Fiji and walk, and when the cops stop you say "It's water, it's my right",
We already pay for water and there's no evidence that Nestle could do any better than government operated facilities. All 'rights' are just legal fictions and the pubic are the ones to determine and agree as to what they are. All 'rights' are public rights. If they are violated God or some extraterrestrial being isn't going to fly down and enforce them.
This guy has a right to stick his head even further up his greedy ass.
