“Who in their right mind buys water anyway?”
People who don’t want to stand in line to drink out of a Bubbler with 40,000 college football fans.

And they tell you NOT to do this if you are on a cruise or you will spend several days at sea bleeping and puking.

“Not saying there aren’t occasional times when it makes practical sense to buy bottled water.”

[ As Ann Coulter said, they’re worried about water conservation on a planet that is 2/3 covered by the stuff.

Too many idiot college students are so easily led by their leftist professors. ]

But, But, most of that water is saltwater and undrinkable...

“Giving society cheap, abundant energy would be the equivalent of giving an idiot child a machine gun.” - Paul Elrich (Professional Libtard)

Oh, I guess if we had cheap abundant energy and we could distill as much freshwater as we wanted/needed and pipe it into the middle of the continents.

Why do the “Progressives” hate humanity so much?

LOL... and so true.

Of course if they were republican politicians, they would surrender the challenge, sit on their butts and slide down the steps.

One would think that a university based in Chicago would know what happens when you try Prohibition.

Actually as long as they provide water fill up stattions all over campus I have no problem with them voting this in.

Just returned from a trip to the Grand Canyon and noticed they did the same thing. They will sell you the bottle, and have filling stations located throughout the park.

Without their cell phones in one hand and their water bottles in the other they may actually have to figure out what those two appendages at the ends of their arms are for.

I always thought it would be most appropriate to sell bottled water with nipples attached. Would be most appropriate for the neurotic class.
Not just on campuses.

Why is it any of your business?

They are a blight on the landscape, just like green windmills.

Windmills could be productive if we’d just use the shredded poultry downstream to feed the victims of the Baraqqi Depression.

Only if they are too lazy to dispose of them properly.

Pretty neat idea. Like a soda fountain, you mean, but for water?
