The Water Wars: Satire and Suffering

This chapter explores the controversial water sales practices of the Resnick family, highlighting the irony of corporate control over essential resources like water and the disconnect from local communities suffering as a result. Through humor and satire, the conversation critiques the extravagance and ethical dilemmas associated with their wealth, particularly in relation to the exploitation of farm workers and the failed humanitarian efforts in Fiji. Ultimately, the chapter raises important questions about the genuine intent behind philanthropy in the face of stark inequalities perpetuated by corporate interests.
