gollark: I'm *guessing* your complaint is along the lines of "people need water → no trading of it allowed → commoditisation involves that" but I can only really guess.
gollark: Yes, but that means multiple things ish.
gollark: Are you complaining about water being sold for money, or about it being approximately the same anywhere?
gollark: Oh, apparently it means that AND saleable thing. Interesting. I guess both are fine for water.
gollark: "Commodity" just means "undifferentiated good" or something.
