Y’all Flint has clean water now. I mean it’s not like purified crystal clean gods tears but it’s as good as any other city water now. Plus we all have filters anyway. The main problem these days is that no one trusts the water anymore, but it is clean.

I know using google is hard for some of you but before you jump on my ass calling me a liar here’s the damn data https://www.michiganradio.org/post/does-flint-have-clean-water-yes-it-s-complicated

Uplifting but also shows how trust is broken after something like this, and how that can perpetuate hardship.

Keep in mind that the consequences of asbestos use are almost exclusively shouldered by the institutionally marginalized. Asbestos insulation that is safely tucked away inside the wall, for example, does not pose a significant threat to the people who live or work inside that building. It is the plumbers, carpenters, electricians, and other workers who need to open up walls who will be exposed to the carcinogen.

The EPA is permitting the use of known lethal building materials because the use of these materials only threaten the lives of people the ruling class already considers disposable.

From the article:

According to Fast Company, the EPA’s recently released report detailing its new framework for evaluating the risk of its top prioritized substances states that the agency will “no longer consider the effect or presence of substances in the air, ground, or water in its risk assessments.”

Good news, everyone! Apparently once it’s in the air, the ground, or the water, a toxins aren’t important or dangerous enough to consider being monitored or regulated! Time to guzzle down some all-natural lead smoothies and build oil pipelines through indigenous land and anyone who complains is obviously a (((globalist)))! Standing Rock doesn’t have to worry about the pipeline ruining their water and all the citizens of Flint, Michigan are magically healthy!!
