What you can do about it is reduce your household potable water consumption to 50l (13 gal.) per person per day.

What governments can do is guarantee the first 50l per person to be affordable. Anything above that should be rationed or priced just high enough that people reduce their consumption enough to prevent the aquifers from drying up.

the problem is going to the supermarket at, say, 0600 on a Tuesday morning and the 28-ounce container of Maxwell House coffee is $14.99, but if you shop at 1100 on a Saturday, the same product is tagged $16.99, because there are more shoppers and more demand.

Why would they sell it for $14.99 in the morning when they could sell it for $16.99 later the same day?

many of the downsides were brought about not by those companies, but rather the end user's hunger for the product.

Addiction.

Even now we know the incredible dangers and yet people will happily pour oil into their cars...

That's just typical addict behavior.

buying isolated homes in the suburbs

That's not so much by choice as because it's illegal in most neighborhoods for developers to build anything but single family homes. That's the opposite of freedom.

At some point we need to stop pointing at others and except some personal fucking responsibility.

It's always the addict's fault for getting and staying addicted, right?

Addiction is slavery.
