If I knew anything about how to get a company set up, I think it would be a cool idea to set up a water bottling plant here in Alaska that only bottles water coming off melting glaciers. There's plenty of those around nowadays. Then I'd ship it down to the lower 48 and sell it, with all the profits going to fund alternative energy research to stop global warming. I bet it would be a big success. It would make people feel better about drinking bottled water, and doesn't glacier melt water sound extra refreshing for some reason?
Alternately, if I was a rich republican, I'd start a company that would go to the poorest, driest regions of the world available, like Darfur or somewhere, and build a giant factory that would squeeze out all the water they could get from the soil, bottle it up, and export it back to the developed world to be sold as "the world's rarest water." I'm sure people would pay a premium for extra-rare water, don't you think? And if the peasants who lived near the factory really wanted the water, they'd be willing to outbid my factory for it, right? Isn't that the purest form of capitalism? Ayn Rand would be proud. |
