Flint Michigan residents charged $150 a month for poisoned water

Here you go, Rollo, another water crisis in your own backyard:

Erin Brokovich is calling it a "national crisis" and says that Flint is "the tip of the iceberg".

They are saying that Louisiana is also having a big problem along with several other places.  Actually when I was in New Orleans over the summer, there was a water advisory.  They said not to drink the water or even bathe in it.  The advisory was lifted while we were there but we didn't take any chances and we drank bottled water.  Actually a good friend of mine is overseas right now and his entire family caught a horrible bug from drinking the water.  They were all hospitalized and put on IV units. :(

I was just looking at a map.  Flint is land locked and only has a couple of small rivers flowing nearby.  To be honest with you guys, here in Canada we probably take clean water for granted, we have it in abundance.

It looks as though the government is going to have to do something about this.

Yeah big water crisis going on here, it's like the 3rd world.  

It's a big place here SB, not some backwoods villages like Canada.

You have lots of clean water because so much of your country is uninhabited. We have some isolated problems with our aging infrastructure that will be addressed.

You have problems with aging infrastructure because your capitalist pig masters are too greedy to properly maintain the assets or replace them at the end of their expected working life.

America is falling apart under the strain of aging infrastructure that the rich bastards charge a fortune to access and won't maintain.  It will cost ordinary Americans billions upon billions to eventually fix.

Capitalism is the economic system that provides us with opportunity to amass wealth and ability to keep what we've earned.

I'll take that over bullshit "OK, you lot spend a lot of money and effort to amass some wealth, so we can give it to those slackers, dopers, boozers, and criminals who don't feel like working."

You Sick Beast live in Bizarro World in my opinion, brainwashed into believing some people get to decide they are owed a living at the expense of others.
