That is likely exactly what that propaganda piece is for. “Don’t drink water, it’s silly anyway!”

Coupled with pushing sales of beverages for money.

I figure when the datacenter bubble bursts, the tech companies will keep consuming the same amounts of water and just start selling it.

Gotta find some way to the plot of The Water Knife. (Book has gas pumps that sell water, water meters next to sinks and showers, etc.)
