Bro said with a straight face there's no water shortage 😂

[megan]

Holy crap, he straight up said there wasn't a water shortage!!! 🤯

[Impozalla]

The response from the Mexican president is appalling. There is a grave water shortage in Mexico and there has to be a solution before there's no water to feed all of Mexico City.

If that's not corruption than I don't know what is.

[Halcon_Sierreno]

Classic politician lecturing his constituents on how he understands their own problems better than the people themselves. 😒

[jdotsalter]

So Coca Cola takes the water and gives this kids liquid sugar instead. That's criminal.

It's almost like Coca-Cola will just use up all the water and leave when there is none left.

[cynthiatreynor]

Enjoy Coca-Cola while praying for rain. That's insane.

[laurentHK]

seems Mexico president is on Coca Cola payroll

[ym]

Enter the corporations selling sugar water. Surprise, surprise.

[edbrown]

I've read and heard that coke has really contributed to water being scarce.

[Makavelik.]

People in Mexico are forced to collect rainwater, and this was before this drought.

[JoseMartinez-dfdb]

The American reporter agrees that water is a human right as our own government denies clean water for many communities.

[qmnxnke]

That’s quite a dire situation. Too bad the president is delusional and arrogant.

[damegto]

Good thing rainy season in Mexico is right around the corner

[desperadodeluxe]

Coca cola should just sell water. And give a ration of free water.

[wolf]

Ironically, Mexico has the largest fresh water deposits on earth. It's located in the Yucatan Peninsula, called cenotes.

[GrandmaBev]

Coke has a responsibility for taking all of the clean water to make their sweet products. Why can't Coke offer water? This is criminal! Why should Coke get all of the water? The CokeCola Company needs to do the right thing! They have known for years their products hurt people. They taste good, but at what cost?

[GnosticPath]

PRAYING FOR WATER, HOW ABOUT YALL GET RID OF COCA COLA FACTORY!

The greatest challenge of this world is knowing enough about a subject to think you are right, but not knowing enough about the subject to know you are wrong…
