I have a revolutionary plan: How about we just put them all into something like debtors prisons. Let them rot until they agree to give the 1% all their stuff · · · if they would just stop breathing then life would be so much better for the rest of us · · ·
This development is beyond the pale · · ·
State officials in Michigan asked a federal court in Detroit on Thursday to block a court order requiring bottled water deliveries to homes in Flint, Michigan, where residents are still waiting for clean tap water two years after municipal water supplies were contaminated with dangerous levels of lead.- - - Date Line - Today

Then let them drink wine.....
Proverbs 31:7 American King James Version
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.
Let them eat lead . . .
Now that you mention it I think the "Let them eat lead . . ." captures the essence of what we need to do to make the population docile. After-all "Let him drink" could refer to lead contaminated wine. Lead Poisoning Symptoms: Yep, that should do it, particularly, Declines in mental functioning.
And thus invigorated,
Let them cast off their yokes, sharpen their pitchforks, and spread the wealth that belongs to all.
Amen.
MI, where the PTB in Flint screwed up are now claiming poverty?
With regional EPA officials not paying attention or calling alarm? Why the US has not intervened and fixed the problem by re-piping? We are a poor country who should afford this. Half a billion on Clinton's campaign. Sick. Poor families.
Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.
". . . fixed the problem by re-piping"
implies the problem is lead pipes:
Lead "pigtails" are more common than you can imagine. I could make money betting on that. Medford, OR officials are scrambling to get ahead of this problem. There is little (actually no) danger here in Kearney, NE. The water here is so very "hard" all the lead mains downtown and the pigtails throughout town have a thick silica shell isolating the water from the lead pipe. Two years ago a leak developed in the copper link to our house. When the city workers unearthed the pipe they discovered my house and the one to the East were served via a single lead pigtail several feet long. Now I have several feet of "pre-bomb" lead pipe for my lab.
I hope they dont' think Trump is going to fix it.
