They did in Total RecallI think it's crazy I pay a water bill every month when water was free for hundreds of thousands of years but I deal with it.
Next thing you know they will be charging us for air.
Seriously though, this is a stepping stone. Once they see we will accept these kinds of anti consumer practices, they will continue to see how much they could get away with it.
If they could find a way, I am almost certain a corporation would try to charge for something as fundamental as air.
Just look at what we have allowed organizations to do to us:
Taxes (unconstitutional, and straight up illegal.)
Paying for water (as you've said)
Ridiculous limits on internet (people in HK pay for 500 mbps for around $25)
Costs of food, but decrease in quality
and various other things.
The sad thing is that we will have people that defend these things.
I know it sounds like I'm on a soapbox, but these kinds of things matter. A snowball starts as a single snowflake. It just needs to be enabled-- and THAT'S what we're doing.
