And in Felton, where I live, there’s a protracted struggle going on to buy the town’s water system back from California American Water, a subsidiary of the multinational company RWE. Water is generally quite abundant here (the annual average rainfall is 47.68 inches), and most of us spend time every winter battling its incursion into our living spaces. So it’s particularly ironic that we have to then purchase it from a company based in Germany.

Goodyear, on the other hand, is generous with their resources.
