Saw a piece of news sharing that 'Water Begins Trading on Wall Street in the Futures Market for Fear of Shortages'. Any thoughts on this and the ethics involved?

"Starting this week, water will be traded on the Wall Street commodities futures market, due to its scarcity. The price of the vital liquid will fluctuate just like oil, gold or wheat, CME Group reported."

Wall street only cares about profits and commissions. They probably saw a huge opportunity in water trading that’s why there is a financial instrument specifically for water.

Everything has a price.
Especially something as critical as water.
