That's horrible. I'd be doing the best I could to leave since no one is doing anything about it.
I'm sure property values suck there.

If you have to ask you'll never know.
The answer is black people, people could give two shits about them. Look how this has been swept under the rug by the media.

Do you really have to ask how this is happening for so long. Its a predominately black town and its a poor town two things a good portion of america do not care about unless they are shuckin and jivin for their entertainment.

Racism, first and foremost. Institutional dysfunction and the GOP.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
Yes I did have to ask because I know very little about Flint.

Turn water into lead then turn lead into gold. Science 101.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Thanks Trump
When will people stop asking questions like this? US infrastructure, generally speaking, is not first rate and continues to deteriorate.
No offense - I just genuinely wonder for how long fictions/perceptions like these will persist, long after they've become untrue.

Wait until the decrepit power grid starts having more issues.

This is some 3rd world country shit.
Flint water crisis wikipedia page reads very nicely for the governor.
This to me is one of the bigger Federal Gov failures. I realize this was a state failure to start with but for me not seeing the Federal Gov just stop EVERYTHING and not fix this problem is astounding. I do not care Task every single Army corp engineer ride into town stop building one or two military thingie and just fix this. Stop every single Bureaucratic hiccup, wall, person clogging this from getting fixed. Dredge up every single pipe that was broken by porting in the wrong type of water. Cancel a festival ball, a parade.
This right here not being fixed makes me want to quit the USA. It breaks every single belief that we are 50 states combined into a Union working together as a group.
I do not even know what it would take to fix, just the fact that it hasn't been fixed, or we are still talking with topic of residents after day 1000 cannot drink tap water. There is nothing that drags the USA down more than this as a union of states together.

So what was that whole stunt with Obama drinking water in front of all those reporters again?
Was that intro written by Snyder's team? Lord.
