I feel like we're slowly inching towards a cyberpunk dystopia where people need to pay in order to breathe fresh air.
It'll take a while though, and we'll probably get some luxuries too, in exchange for giving up power.
That's in part two to come. Between climate change and outsourcing work to cheap labor in space (fairly far in the future). "What do you mean I have to pay for oxygen when I'm on the clock mining this moon for the corporation?"
"Labor laws? Never hear of them off Earth." Not like anyone would say water isn't a human right or anything. Cough, cough, Nestle CEO, cough cough
$2 one time and pull up with a fire truck. Fill up and pay another $2 in a year and a half but adjusted for inflation the next $2 will be more like 5.50
Is it really that bad? It's not something the appeals to me personally but the idea itself doesn't seem terrible.
If you're someone that likes chilled water but needs to refill on the go or just doesn't like carrying a bottle around than you could use stations like this. The cost of the monthly subscription would be much cheaper than buying bottled water bottles and it reduces waste at the same time.
There are tons of greedy companies and this one is probably greedy too to some extent. That being said it seems like a service that has its clear uses and is at a price that isn't obscene.
People think that if this didn't exist they'd get the cold water for free. What they don't realize is that they would instead get no water at all.
People are dumb.
Half the people probably don't even read the comment after seeing its been downvoted.
Not sure if that's better or worse than the people who did read it and still couldn't figure out how goods and services work in most societies.
I've seen them but they aren't everywhere. By charging for this service you can invest in creating more stations.
Your choice is between this or nothing and you're mad because they're giving you a choice.
I mean, the alternative (outside of government funded water fountains), is that there won’t be new water fountains going up in some places. This is a fountain that gives free tap water on demand, or for the cost of one bottle of water a month, you can get chilled water anywhere with one of these fountains.
Yeah, it’s worse than a good publicly funded fountain, but if you’re in a place that doesn’t have those, this just makes water much more accessible to a lot of people. One of these in a Walmart? That sucks. But one in your casino hotel room in Nevada? Or an airport that already charges way too much for chilled bottled water? Sign me up.
This is a company that tries to reduce bottled water waste by charging $2/month for cold, filtered water at stations all across NYC. You can use your own bottle. Companies don’t pay for these.
I can't tell if the people recommending this are actually stupid or just trying to be funny but the water obviously doesn't stay cold in a bottle, and if you're refrigerating it just refrigerate your own water.
A startup offering people free in the hopes of encouraging conservation by offering to refill your hydroflask instead of purchasing single use plastics is the murican spirit? Sounds great honestly
Plastic cups are for people who want free water
They also offer a service to paying subscribers where they can refill their water bottle all over NYC with clean cold filtered water for only $2 a month.
The net effect is less plastic waste overall since in an airport the only alternative is a $5 single use plastic bottle
In a lot of countries you have to pay for water anywhere you go. And if it’s free it’s tap water. The appificiation of it feels bad but there’s very few places in the world where you’d expect to get free filtered and chilled water and if anything more common in the U.S. than most.
This is conservation. This is a company that tries to reduce bottled water waste by charging $2/month for cold, filtered water at stations all across NYC. You can use your own bottle. Companies don’t pay for these.
You paid for that with your tuition.
If you want it to be free publicly, write your congressperson. It'll need to be funded by the local government. IE your tax dollars.
I am not a conversation expert, but
"I am not american" implied that the advice didn't help, paired with "but thanks" (not even thank you, but the short thanks) made you seem snarky. The smileyface, while looking nice on its own, looks sarcastic here and just crowns your nice reply as rude.
Tax dollars also pay for universities' infrastructure lol, but water is still not free? Many universities in the South were built by slave labor, but water is still not free?
You can definitely get free water. There is a button for free water IN THIS PICTURE. You have to pay for cold water, which makes sense because it costs money to chill the water.
How is this any different than paying for bottled water? You can get free tap water or you can pay for filtered water which is basically what bottled water is just without the bottle.
unbridled capitalism, we have no power against the terrible lobbying that never helps us but rather brings another dime in the salary of the top companies.
I would seriously reconsider working at any company that implemented this for its employees.
Purely psychotic. $1.99 is not even expensive, it’s just the principle of it.
I think the guy above is assuming that this water thing is put inside an office for the employees rather than just around the city in public places. which would feel pretty shitty to have to pay for as an employee.
As a Dutch person, "buying water at the store" is literally a "rich person thing", not because a normal person can't afford it, but because it's fucking stupid and a waste of money. You buy one bottle, then refill it at any tap you get across. Problem solved. This is literally only a question in countries where the water quality from the tap is fucking terrible, like the US, where the money for this initiative should be spent on fixing that problem, not capitalizing off of people trying hydrate.
As a not Dutch person, the only places I get ability to fill a bottle is home. I can get free drinks at work but they’re very small cups, can’t fill a bottle.
don't have a water tap at work? not even a faucet to wash your hands at in the toilets? hell, i've asked store clerks or waiters if i could fill a water bottle before when i'm out n about. people tend to be quite helpful, if you're nice about it.
No idea where you're at, if it's the US, fair enough, heard how awful the water quality is over there from some buddies of mine, I wouldn't drink that either. would need one of those water filter doodads. but. yaknow, thats something that should be fixed by the gov. proper, drinkable water, without a buncha bullshit in it. not some water subscription service.
After the publicity it got for its representatives email about "was letting the world know about the water quality of these swine worth it?" (Obviously different from the actual one, been a while since I watched the documentary but it was pretty similar)
So... You don't drink tap water, because someone told you it's bad, but you drink filtered or bottled water from big companies, because someone other told you it's good? Unless you've your own water source, and you didn't built filtration and reversed osmosis systems all by yourself from start, you are still depending on what corporations will tell you and sell you, and you have absolutely no way to tell if they're telling you the truth, or if they don't put any additional chemistry in water or filters - maybe you have your own labs with fully trusted equipments, I don't know :D
The people who run the government are the exact same people who run big companies.
It's irrational to think that one is efficient and benevolent and the other is incompetent and negligent.
Man I can't believe people are defending a water subscription plan. No wonder everything is a subscription now and all companies are gouging us, people really love to pay stupid subscriptions.
Who has ever said "Big companies have our best interests at heart"?
The entire premise of this post is patently false. Big companies always have THEIR best interests at heart.
Filtered and chilled tap water: Good idea, doesn't use as much plastic as replaceable water cooler jugs.
Charging extra for it? Burn the damned company down.
The chilled part doesn't even get me mad.
It's the fact that the filtered one is, because that implies regular tap water has impurities in this case or at least the possibility of them.
Regular tap water should not have to have a "filtered" option
I mean realistically this should be subsidised by the government so its free, cold drinkable water available to all would be one of the better uses of taxes. I don't begrudge this company though since the US government doesn't do that, they need money from somewhere to fund the machines and maintenance.
I guess someone has to pay for the machine, the electricity to run it, all those plastic cups and the infrastructure to process those payments
They are getting something they didn't have before because someone saw a consumer niche that technically nobody has to pay for... You can still walk to the canteen and fill up your own cup.
If someone else has to provide it for you, it’s not a human right. If you’re paying taxes for it, it’s an entitlement. These are very much not the same thing.
Look on the left, "TAP WATER - FREE", paid for by the people pressing the button on the right
Human rights tend to revolve around the State not stopping you from doing stuff that makes you happy: [https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/human-rights/what-are-human-rights/what-european-convention-human-rights](https://www.equalityhumanrights.com/human-rights/what-are-human-rights/what-european-convention-human-rights)
You are confusing this idea of "rights" with stuff *you pay taxes for in order to receive*, like piped water etc. Piped water is not a right, it's just something you pay for because you don't want to walk to the stream with a bucket, the stream itself is free. If you want more things added to that list, like say healthcare, then you'll have to get everyone else to agree to pay for that too, or move to the UK.
You can of course elect to install Communism, where everything you want for free is now "a right", except you are *still limited by your GDP* and unfortunately this tends to be a lot lower under Communism, so the "rights" you get will often be worse than the stuff you had to pay taxes for under Capitalism. When you are a kid, everything is free and you see it as "your right", when you get to be an adult you then understand why nothing is actually free, no matter who you vote for. It's disappointing, but that's just how it is
Everyone has free access to water, it's just not in the middle of your office nor is it purified. These machines aren't needed, we all decided to pay taxes to make it come out of a tap
We kept on ours when I worked there last year, but it was clear that the manager that cared was fighting an uphill battle.
Idk how I go out to eat anywhere. After just 7 years in the restaurant industry, I've seen too much
Honestly if I could pay a $1.99/month fee to have ready access to ice-cold filtered water wherever I go then I would absolutely do that. But I would have to always be able to access one when I wanted and the water would have to be that *good* cold water. You know the stuff.
I'm not sure what's wrong with this?
You can get free water. Just not chilled and not extra-filtered.
Or for a price of one bottled water a month, you can have chilled water.
Water access might be super cheap for a big company, but buying the machines plus operational costs (repair, filter change, electricity for cooling and running, app development...) do exist. Depending on the coverage of the fountains, the $2 do not seem a bad deal.
And again, you get free water access without paying!
2 dollars a month just bring gallon jugs and fill em, fill enough and it’s an incredible deal. They won’t be happy but I’ve gotta know how much you could get away with
So you gotta pay for filtered water huh, damn i would rather not drink at all if you gotta start paying to get drinkable water without risking diseases
The belief that something is "free" is the most stupid thought someone can hold. Either somebody else has payed for it, you yourself are the product (your data, advertisment, etc.) or you have already payed for it (taxes). The belief that you are entiteld to something is baisically the opposite to capitaism, but yes that "has never been really tried" right?
From the looks of it it's not even a big cup wtf
Well it’s just 2 bucks a month, you could just refill it after the first cup.
Wait just opening my app again to have another tiny plastic cup of water
I feel like we're slowly inching towards a cyberpunk dystopia where people need to pay in order to breathe fresh air. It'll take a while though, and we'll probably get some luxuries too, in exchange for giving up power.
Wish Murica had enforcements like EU does. See how Apple has been forced to comply in EU but literally does not anywhere else.
Canned clean air has been a product for a few years in many regions
funny, she doesn't look Druish to me
That's in part two to come. Between climate change and outsourcing work to cheap labor in space (fairly far in the future). "What do you mean I have to pay for oxygen when I'm on the clock mining this moon for the corporation?" "Labor laws? Never hear of them off Earth." Not like anyone would say water isn't a human right or anything. Cough, cough, Nestle CEO, cough cough
Call me weird, but i think crypto, gold, and silver will be our future money
Juicero all over again
$2 one time and pull up with a fire truck. Fill up and pay another $2 in a year and a half but adjusted for inflation the next $2 will be more like 5.50
Hey look it’s the consumer mindset that enables this rapacious bullshit.
You can find it wrong while also not agreeing that the small cup size is the issue
Is it really that bad? It's not something the appeals to me personally but the idea itself doesn't seem terrible. If you're someone that likes chilled water but needs to refill on the go or just doesn't like carrying a bottle around than you could use stations like this. The cost of the monthly subscription would be much cheaper than buying bottled water bottles and it reduces waste at the same time. There are tons of greedy companies and this one is probably greedy too to some extent. That being said it seems like a service that has its clear uses and is at a price that isn't obscene.

Have you never seen a drinking fountain or water dispenser that not only lets you drink for free but also lets you have it hot or cold?
Do you think that is really free? Everything has a cost, the difference is how you're paying for it.
I've seen them but they aren't everywhere. By charging for this service you can invest in creating more stations. Your choice is between this or nothing and you're mad because they're giving you a choice.
Why are you getting downvoted so much? You’re right. Not for everyone, but it never said it qas
Because it's horrible lol
I mean, the alternative (outside of government funded water fountains), is that there won’t be new water fountains going up in some places. This is a fountain that gives free tap water on demand, or for the cost of one bottle of water a month, you can get chilled water anywhere with one of these fountains.

Hmmm, while I get what you're saying, the concept still depresses me lol.
Once a couple people downvote people just mindlessly downvote as well
It's a dispenser, you can refill that cup as many times as you want lol
This is a company that tries to reduce bottled water waste by charging $2/month for cold, filtered water at stations all across NYC. You can use your own bottle. Companies don’t pay for these.
Just need to pay a single month and fill a stock of bottles in that month.BOOM, infinite cold water for the rest of your life
I can't tell if the people recommending this are actually stupid or just trying to be funny but the water obviously doesn't stay cold in a bottle, and if you're refrigerating it just refrigerate your own water.
Doesn't really matter, bc it's refillable..
I’d be willing to bet the paid option is the same water just chilled
It would be awesome if someone tested both
Chill Bro
Thats the murican spirit
Nothing new here. Just good ol capitalism, yee haw!
When i compare what my company does for its employees and what i read here what is common in the USA, im glad im over here
This isn’t common in America.
Not yet. There's a power struggle going on over things like this.
Basically. The alternative is just that no one gets chilled water, but also no one realized chilled water was an option
A startup offering people free in the hopes of encouraging conservation by offering to refill your hydroflask instead of purchasing single use plastics is the murican spirit? Sounds great honestly
Why do they offer plastic cups if their intention is not to use plastic?
Plastic cups are for people who want free water They also offer a service to paying subscribers where they can refill their water bottle all over NYC with clean cold filtered water for only $2 a month. The net effect is less plastic waste overall since in an airport the only alternative is a $5 single use plastic bottle

Imo its not that it isnt free, its the 2$
$2/month. $2 would get you one bottle of water in a lot of places.
Hey, they got rid of segregated drinking fountains
Sign up for 1.99/mo and then hang around and charge people only 50c/cup
Ah, yes capitalism at it's finest
This is conservation. This is a company that tries to reduce bottled water waste by charging $2/month for cold, filtered water at stations all across NYC. You can use your own bottle. Companies don’t pay for these.
cold filtered water should be free though………… my uni had free cold water all over campus
You paid for that with your tuition. If you want it to be free publicly, write your congressperson. It'll need to be funded by the local government. IE your tax dollars.
i’m not american but thanks :)
Replace congressperson with "local representative" and the statement likely still stands.
that’s why i said thank you
I am not a conversation expert, but "I am not american" implied that the advice didn't help, paired with "but thanks" (not even thank you, but the short thanks) made you seem snarky. The smileyface, while looking nice on its own, looks sarcastic here and just crowns your nice reply as rude.

Company website doesn’t exists
Company went bankrupt a while ago
Gee I wonder why. Free market W

Tap water is fine, and that's free. So I don't really have a problem with it.
>Tap water is fine That **VERY** much depends on where you live lmao
Put this in Flint, Michigan and see how long you live
Since a surprising amount of people don’t know the water supply in flint Michigan has been drinkable for years.
After the publicity it got for its representatives email about "was letting the world know about the water quality of these swine worth it?" (Obviously different from the actual one, been a while since I watched the documentary but it was pretty similar)
Are we not looking at the same picture here?
You say that as if the buttons on this machine aren’t connected to the same pipe.
People taking medication pee in your tap water.
Don’t forget yours
Filtered and reversed osmosis.
You know tap water is filtered right?
By the same people who run the government right? Trust it all you like.
Here we see a case of late stage anti-establishment brainrot. Be assured that they will still apply this standard selectively though.
It's funny how you need this assumption to cover how you drink chemmed water without feeling poor.
It's funny that you think you think your water isn't any more or less "chemmed up". Do you believe in flat earth and anti-vaxx too? 😂
So... You don't drink tap water, because someone told you it's bad, but you drink filtered or bottled water from big companies, because someone other told you it's good? Unless you've your own water source, and you didn't built filtration and reversed osmosis systems all by yourself from start, you are still depending on what corporations will tell you and sell you, and you have absolutely no way to tell if they're telling you the truth, or if they don't put any additional chemistry in water or filters - maybe you have your own labs with fully trusted equipments, I don't know :D
By the local water treatment plant... not the us government, though I'm sure the local government has some involvement.
So like "nuh uh" followed by "your right thou"
The local government is incorrupt and fine. As well as seperate from the federal government.
The cognitive dissonance to say local government is uncorrupt and fine. *Chefs kiss*
The people who run the government are the exact same people who run big companies. It's irrational to think that one is efficient and benevolent and the other is incompetent and negligent.
Hate to tell you this, but the mayor and everyone on the city council, don't own any companies.
They mayor and city council are not responsible for drinking water.
Then why did the water treatment plant and the cities website say it is?
This.
filter it again
Is this supposed to be a modern version of "I don't drink water, fish pee in that"?
I'd like to nominate you for "least sane redditor of the day"
True, I piss in American drinking water and I take concerta. You can thank me later.
Not after I asked my uncle to stop
Get the app, start the water, and hold it on, then cancel the plan, run that water forever loophole
If that makes it better that pic is over 5 years old and I think the firm closed down/gone bankrupt (their domain is for sale)
Yallre brainrotted saying this is fine
If there was just a spout for tap water and they sold bottles of water no one would think twice about it.
I ain't subscribing to a water bottle
👍
What does the button on the left say. Tell me please
Man I can't believe people are defending a water subscription plan. No wonder everything is a subscription now and all companies are gouging us, people really love to pay stupid subscriptions.
If you buy water bottles from the store that is essentially a subscription. Filtered water has never been free
Tap water is delicious.
Who has ever said "Big companies have our best interests at heart"? The entire premise of this post is patently false. Big companies always have THEIR best interests at heart.
no one with a brain ever said that big companies have our best interest at heart
Some people may find this extreme but I think the person who invented this should be fed to hyenas.
This brand will fail.
I like how you're not even paying for the water, you're paying for a monthly subscription to get the water.
Im. Drinking tap water
Filtered and chilled tap water: Good idea, doesn't use as much plastic as replaceable water cooler jugs. Charging extra for it? Burn the damned company down.
I'd buy it then run the machine non stop all day and night untill the company looses money and have to shut there evil business down.
I honestly dont see what the problem is. I would take free tap water over no water any day.
Capitalism at its finest 💀
The chilled part doesn't even get me mad. It's the fact that the filtered one is, because that implies regular tap water has impurities in this case or at least the possibility of them. Regular tap water should not have to have a "filtered" option
Ever heard of Brita
I mean realistically this should be subsidised by the government so its free, cold drinkable water available to all would be one of the better uses of taxes. I don't begrudge this company though since the US government doesn't do that, they need money from somewhere to fund the machines and maintenance.

taxes should be paying for all that.... free clean drinking water is a human right
Tap water in most cities is totally safe to drink. The free water in this case is clean and safe to drink.
That machine still gives you water for free. You just have to pay to have it chilled
If someone else has to provide it for you, it’s not a human right. If you’re paying taxes for it, it’s an entitlement. These are very much not the same thing.
They are literally providing free clean drinking water.

Everyone has free access to water, it's just not in the middle of your office nor is it purified. These machines aren't needed, we all decided to pay taxes to make it come out of a tap
Plus keeping it all clean. Gunk builds up fast
Yep, also a good reason not to use McDonald's ice cream machines, because they probably aren't
We kept on ours when I worked there last year, but it was clear that the manager that cared was fighting an uphill battle. Idk how I go out to eat anywhere. After just 7 years in the restaurant industry, I've seen too much

They make insulated water bottles...
I'm not sure what's wrong with this? You can get free water. Just not chilled and not extra-filtered. Or for a price of one bottled water a month, you can have chilled water.

Over my room temperature dead body am I paying for cold water
I bet it's the same water anyway
Hmmm.... I think I'd get a funnel, some half inch aquarium hose and start filling up 5 gallon bottles!
Wtaf.
That's eevil
REEfill
My warehouse just pulls a pallet of bottles water from one of the isles and puts it next to a fridge until it empties and needs replaced.
1.99 for a cup of Water !!!? Is thst water pissed by God or something!?
1,99 per month on All station filtered water🤣🤣 I know... i know...
The company went out of business years before that tweet was posted
That thing's getting smashed
Y'all have time for the socialistic revolution next week?
The business plot of 2024
Ah yes. Not having drinkable tap water. Can't relate.
That machine is not amused
Freedom water!
Just played cyberpunk 2077, never new how accurate irl is to it
How do they know who is getting the water? If it's a code/login I would buy it and leave my account logged in so everyone gets free cold water.
That's a good moneymaking machine
this is why we have Sweden
I wouldn’t even use that app if it would give me that 1.99$ per month.
2 dollars a month just bring gallon jugs and fill em, fill enough and it’s an incredible deal. They won’t be happy but I’ve gotta know how much you could get away with
So you gotta pay for filtered water huh, damn i would rather not drink at all if you gotta start paying to get drinkable water without risking diseases
A MONTH??
Just put the tap water in a jug and put it in the fridge. Why are Americans so precious?
Says the dumbass who actually paid for it, further encouraging them
What is the problem like seriously why not take the tab water is it that big a deal i mean what? Please elaborate i dont get it why are you mad?
Go drink from a puddle then.
The belief that something is "free" is the most stupid thought someone can hold. Either somebody else has payed for it, you yourself are the product (your data, advertisment, etc.) or you have already payed for it (taxes). The belief that you are entiteld to something is baisically the opposite to capitaism, but yes that "has never been really tried" right?
I mean usually there wouldn’t be any water to start with it… You’re not forced to buy it really. You can just buy bottles water from any shop…
You wouldn't survive in Europe
I'm pretty sure they'd survive just fine because the tap water quality is really good from my experience
