    Pretty obviously a paid advertisement, for a company that wanted to take away the human right to water, and starved a bunch of babies in Africa.

    There goes my respect for the independent. Pretty low of them.

    I’m pretty damn sure it wasn’t a physical hijacking. Zero reason for extra security.

    Need to lockdown all of the internet based logistics. Hackers are just pirating the whole order & delivery.
