Bcs that's not how you maintain power, just how you maintain supply.
Supply/scarcity isn't the issue. It's that the bots aren't owned by 'the people' who coincidentally desperately need drinking water. Increasing supply just makes them less desperate, which is bad for fair negotiations.
Paywalling drinking water is a business investment for private gain.
Why doesn't the larger class simply eat the smaller one?
Idk.
I really don't.
(To add the obvious context: severe dwindling of drinking water supply in some countries around the world will happen due to climate change. Migrations in those cases are the obvious consequences since we won't build them desalination plants.)
