Comment on Water companies in England and Wales explore ‘surge pricing’ during drought

All water companies should be nationalised immediately, water is not a product.
What are we supposed to do when the water companies don’t put any investment into improving the situation. Constant leaks, a steady flow of new houses being built but no increase in our capacity to store water.
What choice will we have under these rules when the companues charging us are able to manufacture scarcity through their inaction.

Every necessity of life, including economic and educational necessities like transport and data, should be publicly owned and provided free or as cheaply as practicable. Anything else is a one-way ticket to absurdity.

100%. We need to push back on the idea that everything should be commidified and sold at a profit for a tiny minority of the already-rich.
