‘You’ll have to talk to the UK staff’: can global water investors be held to account?

  1. yes. wouldnt be the first time either. bolivia being one water war i used to know a lot about, where the nation ejected foreign parasites.

  2. Collecting rainwater will be illegal. Bootboy squads will enforce the water laws. You will drink the drops you are allowed to drink.

    And you voted for it.

  3. There is simmering anger in many countries (Brazil being things most overt one I’ve been to) over foreign parasite companies buying up water resources (down to individual wells and reservoirs) because they see it as the gold of the future and hope to flip it when fresh water becomes sparse. It really is the lowest of the low doing this. And then they have the audacity to tick some fake environmental investing boxes.

    I also think it’s a stupid investment as when water becomes sparse, the world will be in a really bad place and governments aren’t gonna go ‘oh fuck, we can’t use this water as Blackrock own this’. They’re just gonna seize it.

    The weirdest thing I saw/heard in Brazil. Apparently among the biggest investors in water in Brazil are major churches in the USA. Absolute cunts
