Water ~ Should it be Traded on Wall Street? | |
Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 60789371 United States 01/30/2021 09:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.culturalsurvival.org (secure)] "As Indigenous Peoples of Abya Yala (the Americas), we have seen how our territories were turned into private property for the benefit of settlers and their governments. Although we might have lost our livelihoods in certain cases, we are resilient and we continue asserting our rights to collective lands and land protection. This time, we cannot stand by as Mother Water becomes one more commodity on the capitalist market. It is not right. New Zealand, Ecuador, and Bolivia in recent years have passed groundbreaking legislation giving personhood status to bodies of water as well as securing additional protection for nature. In India, there have been legal attempts to consider the Ganges and Yamuna Rivers as legal persons in an effort to combat pollution. In 2016, the Colombia Constitutional Court found that the Atrato River basin possesses rights to "protection, conservation, maintenance, and restoration." This link goes on to talk about all of the conflicts and fighting that has taken place over the privatization of water. |

User ID: 75938273 United States 01/30/2021 10:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look at the legal mayhem it would create. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78071322 Minnesota allows a pipeline to sell fresh water from lake superior. Wisconsin sues. MN says we'll only take water from our part of the lake. BOOM! That water most likely is collateral to China. All the states around the Great Lakes are libtard demons from hell, with lots of Chinese influence with the governors The GATT treaties give them the right to export natural resources from any country just like the USA. There will be a war over that water. I suspect that’s why they let water levels get so high, it’s a commodity Time is up. 1776 or 1984 |

The resource wasn't managed well for the existing people in the world...and now privatizing it will blow any attempted balance out of the water. Pun intended. |
