When you don’t know you don’t know. That’s the same water languishing on the floors of dollar-stores that no one really buys.
They will sell dirt cheaper than your own Water 💧 that flows to the sea 24/7, but they will flood you with the cheaper food and water till you can’t feed yourselves and quench your own thirst with what you already have. Remember your “leaders” all signed on to World Trade Org agreements to open your store-shelves so that they are the ones that feed you thru super markets and not your own market.
Thank GOD California shipping water to Dominica.. How would our athletes survive without bottled water from the state thats been in a drought for decades 🙏🏾
