Crony Capitalism: Everything Has a Price

 But capitalism- our corrupt, noncompetitive form of capitalism- benefited from this poisoning of the water supply.

America 2.0 doesn’t have free enterprise, and America 1.0 began drifting from it into crony capitalism when I was still a wide-eyed idealist, with an ACLU membership card in my wallet.

Two supplemental industries were born; the bottled water industry and the individual water filtration industry.

Car insurance?

Fluoride was first added to our water supply in 1945.

John D. Rockefeller, one of the icons of American capitalism, had a personal credo that he lived by.

Bush, T. Boone Pickens, and familiar capitalist villains like Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase, and the Blackstone Group, buying up water rights all over the world.
