You're not simply a consumer. You're a citizen.

I am not US citizen, I am (was) just a visitor (and consumer). I do not care about your local problems!

Jackson gov was happy to poison people to save face and money. Some other people are happy to poison people with chlorine, to save on plastics.

As a consumer, I have a right to choose whatever I feel is safe for me!

Neither am I. But presumably you're a citizen of somewhere. And that place should provide you with safe drinking water.

		Yes, my goverment set maximal price on water bottles in street shops, to prevent price gauging. Making tap water drinkable, while 99% gets used for utilities, is seen as wasteful.
