Which is absolutely ridiculous since you are paying for the water that you are sharing.
How though? If you're using extra water to share with your neighbor, and YOU still pay your water bill, they still get extra money for extra usage, right? It just comes from your wallet rather than your neighbors.
it's perfectly ethical, unless i'm stealing the water, they're using the same water i'm using and that means i'm paying for it. It's literally not a problem.
It might cut flat charges but, get fucked.
I think you misinterpreted, because you two are saying the same thing. It is ethical to share. Therefore, it has not been made illegal for being unethical (because it is ethical), it has been made illegal to protect profits.
oh i think the phrasing just confused me lmao
For sure. Even when it isn't a law the same outcome happens when corporations get the police to enforce their policies.
