buy for me the rain...

watered down....

we all know that Nipper is a bottled water expert, but now, according to a recent editorial, we find he is also an international affairs expert! so I'm reading it, the story about the Fiji's military gov't picking on Fiji water with taxes and regulations... of course Nipper left out some facts to support his plastic water bottles production economic theories..bottled water is tap water in plastic bottles..one of the biggest waste of resources on the planet is water marketed in plastic bottles!
　
The only reason this is an issue is because Nipper thinks that "it's the magic of private property that turns sand into gold"... now, I don't know WTF that means but he appears to be enamoured of the billionaires that own Fiji Water, the Resnicks ...the folks who just bought a local winery..a few google seaches will tell you what kind of people they are...
first of all: SUVA, Fiji — Fiji’s government has charged the California-based Fiji Water company with making untrue statements about instability in the South Pacific islands nation because it doesn’t want to pay higher taxes on the water it extracts there...
But the prime minister, Commodore Frank Bainimarama, said that the company has paid minimal corporate taxes since it was set up.
The company had had a corporate tax holiday till two years ago and had paid just $500,000 in corporate taxes since, he said in a statement. In turn, it received $2 million to $2.6 million dollars in value added tax refunds because it is an export business
then there's the little issue of getting taxpayers to pay them for water: Now, as drought-stricken California weighs whether to give private companies more control in managing its scarce water supplies, a new lawsuit claiming the Resnicks violated utilities law by making money from a vast, taxpayer-funded underground reservoir is causing a stir in the state Capitol.
"Water is a public resource, owned by the people," said Democratic Assemblyman Jared Huffman of San Rafael. "We shouldn't be giving away public funds to private sector interests, let alone choosing winners and losers in the business world."
The Resnicks, who live in a Beverly Hills mansion and have a second home in Aspen, Colo., are among the nation's largest corporate farmers....
pity the poor little corporate billionaires who keep getting bailouts from the taxpayers... and there's nothing worse than a water thief!
