Like I said before, you wouldn't trade a bottle of air for money or gold... why is that?  

Because we have all the air we could ever need for free.  So who in their right mind would pay for it?

The idiots that buy bottle water and help further destroy the planet.

Well to be fair, a lot of areas have pretty shitty water.

I know I bought a filter for my tap because of suggestions from actual people in the heatlhcare industry.

Still the actual point remains... scarcity is absolutely important because only so much of some things exist... while others, even if they are actual physical needed to keep you alive things... are abundent.

 

I have a water filter pitcher also and while "a lot of areas" have "shitty" water at least the water is tested on a regular basis.  You should check out the bottle water documentary and see how many people are looking out for your bottle water safety at the FDA.  They have 1 person to review the entire bottle water industry who relies on the companies to submit their own reports with zero accountability.  I'll stop this discussion here.

Main reason why I quoted just that line is because I remember seeing a video awhile back of people in the future that would go to air stations just to be able to breathe decent air.  So if humans keep up their terrible track record we won't be too far off from your hypothesis.  It only takes a natural disaster, war, or another major event to realize how important the basic necessities for life are.  Then eventually you will have people killing each other for food and water.
