there is no material difference: if your water is cutoff, the reason does not matter. it just seems incredibly shortsighted to put the entire population in danger because of a few dollars


Again, I don't know if anyone is actually critical of turning people's water back on and that isn't what is being talked about here.

All I said was that saying in a general sense that people don't have access to water implies infrastructure problems which isn't the case here.

When someone says 'infrastructure and access isn't the problem' and you say "I for one, think people deserve water" that's just nonsensical and self righteous.
