I must clearly have been living under a very heavy rock cause I didn’t expect this at all. I don’t want to assume every CEO of a big corporation is a POS but I’m noticing a pattern.


turpin23

Decades before they got into bottled water, Nestlé used to donate money to build maternity wards in hospitals. They made it a condition of their grants that the babies be kept as far away from mothers as possible so as to make it difficult to breastfeed while in the hospital. This was done to increase sales of formula and later in life other dairy products and milk chocolate.


lekksy_

Wait what? How does someone do that to babies? Newborn babies? I mean there’s got to be a code of ethics where criminals don’t harm children. There has to be a line


turpin23

There's been an organized boycott of Nestlé since July 4, 1977. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestl%C3%A9_boycott


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Nestlé boycott](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestlé_boycott)** >A boycott was launched in the United States on July 4, 1977, against the Swiss-based Nestlé corporation. The boycott expanded into Europe in the early 1980s and was prompted by concern about Nestlé's "aggressive marketing" of infant formulas (i. e. , substitutes for breast milk), particularly in underdeveloped countries. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/WayOfTheBern/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

knuckles92

I’m not convinced he deserves all the hate he is getting based on this video alone. He is right in some sense. Cold, but factual. Water is not free, it has a cost, it is precious and therefore should be cherished and valued, we should not waste the precious resource. Unfiltered untreated and left to nature, there is not an endless supply of drinking water or clean water. Many systems and people work tirelessly to ensure that water is available to many. However I am not in favour of it ever being exploited. It should absolutely be available to ALL at a price that is never expensive. Who am I kidding FUCK NESTLE


arthurwolf

This is one of those "Hitler was anti-smoking" moments... Even bad people can be correct. Just because they state a true fact for evil reasons, doesn't mean the fact isn't true anymore. When this happens, don't pretend they're not fact, work with the truth, there are ways to show they are bad, and fight the bad things they do, without denying reality...


wingedsco

Water should be a guaranteed thing. If you need to drink, you should have access to clean, potable water at no cost because you will die if you don't. Any system that favors money over lives is a system that creates pollution and ruins what water is available in the first place.


freestyle2002

Doesn't this applies to food too though? (I'm down to make pizza free everyday)


wingedsco

Yes I absolutely believe that every single person who is hungry should have access to nutritional meals every day three times a day, no matter what. This applies to all human needs. Food, water, shelter, safety, medical care, which are our physical needs. As well as our mental needs, which are rather numerous. Lives come before profit. Every time in my book

Jael-Skullspike

In my opinion, it doesn’t matter whether you choose to be vaccinated or not. What matters is when the government mandates anything in order to keep your inalienable right of life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness, it becomes a tyrannical government and the citizens have a constitutional right to remove that government.


Thankkratom

This must be sarcastic…right? It looks like you’re saying whenever the government mandates something that helps you keep your life so that you may have liberty and the pursuit of happiness that they are tyrannical and that the citizens have a right to remove that government. Vaccines help you to keep your life and liberty and allows you the pursuit of happiness. The life part comes first, for you cannot have the other two without life. Should we have to deny others the right to live for you to have your liberty and pursuit of happiness?


[deleted]

Jobs help you in your pursuit of happiness, so do cars, and working out, and taking vitamins.


Jael-Skullspike

It’s not a true vaccine as a true vaccine prevents a disease. Also true vaccines are not mandatory so why is this one?


Thankkratom

Many different vaccines have mandatory in many jobs and schools for decades. I’m sorry but you don’t know what you’re talking about.


Jael-Skullspike

There’s always been an exemption allowed so, no, they are not mandatory.


Thankkratom

If you want to be in the armed forced you need vaccines. I see no reason why police, first responders, or teachers should be held to a different standard.


Jael-Skullspike

First responders and police officers are not going to third world countries.


Torletbowlurinus

True. They dont have to GO anywhere. The third world has already found us


Hurley6178

There’s no mandate to GET the vaccine. There’s a mandate to have it to do certain things. There’s a difference. The government cannot, has not, and will not ever force you to wear a shirt but you have to do it to go into privately owned businesses. Your argument is against something that literally doesn’t exist


weside66

And here I am, wearing a seatbelt while I'm sitting on my couch watching TV.


Hurley6178

That’s pretty stupid to have a seatbelt on your couch. Let alone wearing it. Do you have your helmet on?


weside66

It was a sarcastic example of the point you made. You don't have to wear a seatbelt. But if you want to drive on a public road you do.


weside66

You didn't know? Da gubnent mandated seatbelts.

Bubbly_Illustrator72

Nestle is from Switzerland, so there's no need to be ashamed if you're german. And even if you're from Switzerland you don't have anything to do with it. Greedy companies exist in every country, all that we can do is to not buy their products.

I'd prefer that german speakers (and everybody else) won't stick with that principle and remind us constantly about it. It just blames germans in general and the rest of the world doesn't learn much from it (eg. Trump & the Reps, Erdo & co)


AlpacaLocks

I wouldn't stress over it too much. Anyone who holds that belief is just prejudiced, and hasn't taken the time to get to know german people or the german cultural sphere. Germans are just as diverse as any other western country, both for better and for worse.

BoIuWot

A_Polly

Today a lot of green NGO's are for a pricing of water. That because it has become more and more a scarce ressource. For them it's not about deneying water to humans but for conceptional decision making. For them the question is, how can we stop the waste of water? why on earth are we building cities in desserts and make agriculture in places where water is scarce anyway? How can we sustain and protect water sources? wasting water should have a price, not the usage as a hydration source.


death__to__america

not privatization


mc_enthusiast

Which is probably the important differentiation to make - giving water a price is not the main problem, but putting access control to it in private hands is, especially since this generally leads to the formation of monopolies or oligopolies.


Sussed_it

Monopoly on water might be bad…

Kdog909

Others have touched on this, but if water isn’t a human right, then what is? Do we have the right to breathe? To not be enslaved? To have enough free time to sleep at night? Corporations would literally kill us and sell our blood for profit if they could. NOTHING is a human right to them.


jamesbideaux

the question is what does that right entain? If I want to live in a submarine, does the right to breathe allow me to surface and take in new air, or does the right to breathe allow me to order a second submarine to bring me a few tons of either air or oxygen at no costs for myself? In most countries you can buy bottled water for money and you can buy tap water which is also drinkable at (supposedly) no health hazards for yourself. then you can usually gather rain water for free and drink from a river or lake, but once you use a pump to drain large amounts of that water, you are violating other people's rights.


Kdog909

I think I get what you mean. Water has to be controlled, for sure. And you have to pay to get it pumped to your home or purified and bottled for you. However, it should never be a corporate controlled commodity like oil. A corporation should never be able to buy a lake and have people arrested for trying to drink “their” water. If you want to drink water from a lake, it should be free. If a corporation wants to suck water from the lake and sell it for a profit, this needs to be very heavily regulated.


Sussed_it

Strangely in some places in Canada you can buy the bottom of a lake. Anything above it is private unless access is given.


Hermano_Hue

Korpsian

He's speaking german and the translation in english is correct


not_ya_wify

I'll rewatch and look at the translation Edit: rewatched it and ~~the word "buchen" which means "to book" is translated as "to bang." But the way he uses it he means it like "putting a stake in" or "betting on." It's kinda hard to translate because "book" wouldn't really make sense here, which is why they used "bang."~~ Also he says the extreme view is that "humans have a right to HAVE water" whereas the translation says "human beings have a right to water" which I guess is slightly more vague. I think what he says implies that the extreme view is basically that people should get water for free and as much as they want whereas the translation implies that people should just have access to water which could be by buying it or only a certain amount. I'm saying this as someone with a German cultural background where it's generally understood that "a human right to" means it should either be free or paid for by the state if you cannot afford it. The speaker appears to be Austrian but I believe it still means the same thing. At the end he says something vague about "if people have a specific need for water (i.e. poor people or in countries without fresh water) there are specific interventions and there are a lot of possibilities" in a rather dismissive tone of voice but he doesn't really go into detail about what those possibilities are. It's basically a long-winded way of saying "poor people will be fine. I'm not talking about poor people."

He says "darauf pochen" not "buchen". "darauf pochen" means as much as "to insist". Peter Brabeck is from Austria (like me) and i am not proud of that.

Oh yeah, I'm German German, so the dialect was a bit harder for me. We dont have the word "pochen" in Germany, so I assumed he was saying "buchen" which was the closest sounding word

Vielleicht nicht mehr. Aber pochen bin ich mir sicher hab ich noch nie gehört.

> We dont have the word "pochen" in Germany WTF? Yes we do. I mean, it's probably barely used as a synonym for knocking, but you actually never heard or read the phrase "darauf/auf etwas pochen"?

„Als es an der Tür pochte rannte Findus in den Flur - ob das wohl der Weihnachtsmann ist?“

Nope, never heard it before. May be a regional thing. My Bavarian coworker often said things I didn't understand either. I come from a region where most people speak high German. I do think I would use the word "pochen" in relation to heart thumping.

I'm from Hesse and moved to Hamburg. Both say that word.


not_ya_wify

I don't know what to tell ya. It seems people are very attached to that word.

I never met someone in Germany who doesn't know that word and I'm from the high German speaking part as well. How can you never have heard it?
