2. I don't get it, is he saying the billionaire status of the 1% is

as common and reachable as water? If he is, than he is an idiot.

3. WTF does this even mean? We're swimming in money and jobs? And we're swimming in

money how come the gap between the top 5% and everyone else is bigger than at any time since before the depression?

BTW, who's this jerkoff?

Water privatization brings a flood of problems in U.S. cities. Is this a preview of a global issue?

As of 2003, some 1,100 U.S. municipalities had privatized their drinking-water systems, hoping that mismanaged public systems could be made higher-quality at relatively low cost. According to a recent series in the Los Angeles Times, private firms in cities across the country have been investigated for illegally discharging sewage into rivers, shirking on maintenance, and failing to disclose high levels of toxics in drinking water.
