Why can we not have drinkable tap water for a reasonable cost? It cannot be difficult to take a sample of great drinking water — say, NYC tap water or the well from our old house in the sandhills — do a spectral analysis, strip the base water to zero with filtration etc, fix the pH, add the minerals in the right concentration, and serve? Even if you couldn’t feasibly throw all that through city pipes, why is house-level filtration & taste so absolutely shitty until you pay a bajillion dollars?

Water, water everywhere, nor ary drop to drink
