SUV perhaps wasn't the best example, because SUVs often can't get to places that need water - if they could, SUVs would be bringing water to that place.
At a $100 water bottle price though, I can literally afford to use a helicopter to bring in water. At $20 per water bottle, I'm not sure I could afford to use a helicopter to bring water in, especially if I have to use hours of fuel in each direction.
I agree that you have to keep order. People who think their life is at risk will get violent and reckelss, and we need to limit that. But if you hit a point where water is worth $100, you are probably already past the point of keeping order.
