Expecting people to walk for miles to get water is expecting them to live like a third-world country. And yes, you did say water.
And you have to pay for Prime for "free" delivery. Which poor people can't afford.
I don’t expect them to walk miles for water. I expect them to take a bus for food. I don’t think you are reading what I’m writing.
No you don’t. Prime offers free fast shipping. There’s still free shipping on millions of products without Prime. It just won’t come the same/next day.

So my apologies, you expect them to bike for miles for water. In the world's richest country.
You think Prime is free?! Or did you forget people have to pay for that?
