Statements like that leave me questioning the integrity of the video or its translation. I wouldn't be surprised that people hold such views. When you think about it, most people in developed nations drink water that has been tested, treated, and transported. There is no reason why a business couldn't handle that. We simply deal with that handling through public institutions, in part to ensure accessibility and in part to ensure safety. What does surprise me is that a CEO would make such a statement publicly. Such statements can easily be interpreted (or misinterpreted) as denying people fundamental human needs unless they can afford it.
