There must have been an earthquake in California that I didn't hear about because it seems as though the liberal republic of Berkeley has moved ten miles west.

Tap water will do just fine for city workers in San Francisco, according to Mayor Gavin Newsom. The city, which earlier this year placed a prohibition on plastic bags, will no longer spend money for city workers on bottled water, according to Reuters.

This makes business sense for the city, saving up to $500,000. Grumbling workers should be given free water bottles (from recycled plastic of course) to keep their whistles wet by refilling from the tap. Many studies have shown that bottled water is no healthier than tap water, and producing all of those plastic bottles and delivering them via truck is taking an environmental toll. Buying a filter for the tap is cheaper and may be better for you.
