"Poor people need to bootstrap some water" - the anglosphere

In 1943 a dude named Abraham Maslow created something called the hierarchy of needs it was an attempt to map what a human being requires for positive mental health. Its' most famous outcome was a pyramid diagram showing the different levels of requirements people have to be happy, the base being the most basic, the tip being more esoteric:


You'll note (unsurprisingly) that water is included as one of the most basic human needs, we of course need it regularly to function in the most basic mechanical sense. This however, according to the English speakers of the world, doesn't mean the poor have a basic right to water or at least their political donors' basic right to profit trumps the need for water.

There is a draft resolution currently facing political opposition from pretty much every English speaking country in the west simply because it would limit their ability to profit off of the sale of drinking water to citizens and of course their multinational allies' ability to rip off the rest of the world.

God damn its good to be an Anglo.
