That's globalisation, I suppose. All the rhetoric about breaking down trade and investment barriers in reurn for more loans to 3rd world governments. I assume that's how the Bechtel Corporation ended up owning Bolivian water.
If the air would stay still they'd privatise that too. Maybe that's starting, like bottled water? We have an oxygen clinic here.
I heard in the same program that 40,000 people in Detroit had their water cut off for nonpayment.
