@garbageprivatechannel4102 3 года назад

@@zexnynex777 What Lead Water said was that it was a state caused issue, which is correct. If it had had proper federal oversight and accountability, maybe the result would have been different, but they were able to sweep it under the rug as a minor issue precisely because of the lack of any real regulatory accountability. Because conservatives like Trump are insistent upon stripping the government of any real power. Greed irresponsibility and pay offs are the result of an entirely flawed political system. It is bipartisan in that it happens on both sides, but it happens far more commonly and began with Republicans. However, it doesn't matter, as the deeply entrenched duopoly are what led to it becoming the basic route of politics. You "conservative" dimwits don't have a fucking clue.

@FoxMacLeod2501 3 года назад

The older I get, the more I've come to firmly believe that the phrase "capitalism is the problem" applies to, and accurately summarizes, the vast majority of atrocities like this. So often, if you boil it down, these kind of things stem from someone thinking they will save their organization money by lowering the relative priority of human welfare. Instead of doing the job they were paid to do, while simply following the numerous OSHA, ICE, and EPA (etc.) rules and procedures we already have in place, hurting people is put aside to some degree, in order to focus on the real goal in life, dying with the biggest savings account you can. Now, don't misread me here - my decrying capitalism is not a veiled proclamation of the superiority of another economic system. We need to take the good attributes of successful societies and economies, and, like martial arts were refined into what we see in the UFC, drop the bad and keep what makes us most successful.

That a shortage of clean water happened in Michigan is proof that humans can screw up even the most perfect situation.

It shows how science and scientists are not trusted or believed or listened to when the information they give is not what is wanted. Lastly, it shows how those in power do not fear being held accountable for their wrongdoing and will do everything they can to hold onto power by silencing any opposition.

One thing to consider, especially in cities that are shrinking and with decay is that the possibility of "dead legs" in a water supply increase exponentially. These are legs that may feed neighborhoods that are now gone or abandoned, etc. The water will stagnate and bacteria will grow. Fluctuations in water pressure and other disturbances can release this stagnated water into the municipal supply. Failed backflow preventers exasperate this. When renovating old buildings it's important to look for these instances. However, in municipalities that are broke and have no money to decommission these parts of the supply system, you are looking at a ticking time bomb. Water simply has to flow in all of a functioning and safe water system.

Being a retired Environmental Health Specialist, I worked for the EPA in the drinking water department. Then worked for several years as a county water specialist . I cannot fathom how this incident even occurred. The state I worked in had monthly testing requirements for bacteria content and yearly testing for chemical analysis. I appears to me the If the State of Michigan had some such regulations this incident should have never occurred. And once started getting sick residents it would have been prudent to notify EPA and asked for help The whole thing now seems like a giant FUBAR ,

The EPA helped cover it up

Poor people are always victims of our government. It was not a race issue. Rural CA had same water issues.

Never heard of Legionnaires Disease a day in my life. This is absolutely heartbreaking! The corruption runs deep. How do you not test the water before it’s rolled out to the public?! 💔

It’s a pretty new disease 🦠 it started in Philadelphia in the 70s I think

There have been outbreaks else where but we quickly contained & remedied. Supermarkets in the U.S. used to have water misters in the produce sections so your lettuce & what not wouldn't dry out until an outbreak, then they stopped using those.

Yeah, before this all I knew about were the high levels of lead in the water and frogs becoming hermaphroditic. I didn't know it was actually killing people because of bacteria. Am I surprised? Of course not. Am I angry? Of course.

What a stupid decision they made. I understand building the new system. But to also change from receiving Detroit Water while the new system was being built, was moronic at best

We’re watching this currently in environmental science. November 14th, 2022. or 11 - 14 - 2022 It’s insane how this is still a problem so many years later. This is not okay for this to keep happening. These “government officials” SHOULD NOT be running the place, they’re dangerous people.
