Here’s something that could be provided for free. Instead of innovating, I’m going to invent a shit version of this thing, give you free access to that, and then charge for the original version.

Cooling and filtering water is hardly free, nor is the added maintenance. I don't know the context here but it may be something the building should be paying for.

At that rate, I'll just go outside and drink from the hose.

Kinda reminds me of paying to use the bathroom in Germany. Is that still a thing?

I can't say I really hate this. If a company is willing to maintain this so there is always free water alongside a purchase option, it doesnt seem so bad.

Because frankly a portion of my world looks like this right now: The corporations squeeze to get everything out of me, and a good portion of the populous want to make sure I can't have nice things by fucking everything up. A public fountain? Oh yeah that shit will get destroyed or stolen within a week.
