Concrete blocks? Springs? Water?
Maybe the water was acidic from pollution, could be just the different source. Either way, they should have thought it out and could have treated the pH of the water. And sure, the aging infrastructure is bullshit. The entire thing was completely unnecessary too, basically Republicans who wanted to fuck people over out of hatred and spite, as far as I could tell. I don’t think we’re in disagreement there.
The problem in flint wasn’t that the water source was polluted, but rather that it was more acidic than the previous water supply. That wreaked havoc on the aging lead pipes in the community.
What’s unclear about “I will fucking murder them.”?
Oh. I thought it was supposed to be about how hard it would be to do stuff while carrying around spoons in your hands all day.
Before the musk acquisition I had something like 8,000 people blocked… mostly the inane shit like “Patriot Christian Dog Mom” or incredible douchebags like “dc_draino”.
The only person who can stop WW3 and also “save the country”, which according to him is a smoking husk.
He really is a remarkably stupid person.
Wow… a morning broadcast, apparently? Imagine seeing that with your kids before school. “Dad, what’s a ‘sex toy’?”
It’s like Elon Musk has managed to make Mark Zuckerberg seem like a good person by comparison. Or Trump was so awful that Democrats look back and think “huh, GWB was a decent president”
The capitalist and nationalist propaganda against communism has been at a completely insane level in the US for 70 years now… yeah, it’s hard to go against, but I do have faith it’s dying out. Conservatives can’t even really remember the USSR currently and younger people, mainly liberal (IN A US POLITICS SENSE) can clearly see the problems with the current system and have desire and will to make it change. Still lots of completely deluded younger folks too, though, and the levels of fascist propaganda we’re dealing with now are massive.
I read about Robinson and it all sounds pretty reasonable.
I’d love for the US economic system to somehow be wholly restructured, but incremental improvements are the best we can do currently.
I agree that corporate hegemony is non-negotiable in mainstream US politics. The question is what to do about it, and which version is worse. Republicans are far, far worse about everything that is on the table. Democrats are willing to reign in the corporations a little bit and actually help people. The Republican propaganda and the insane policies they think of are far, far worse.
Not precisely as I mentioned public ownership of some industries and services that are privately owned. Healthcare and drug production would be two good examples.
Defeatist because I’m not pushing for full communism or are you referring to something else?
I’m more of a practical American socialist than a radical communist (since that’s unlikely to happen here) but it offends me because republicans are just so ignorant. The average Republican essentially has no idea what socialism, communism or fascism actually are, and conservatives have been using this as a scary label for my entire life.
I don’t know where you live so I don’t have any relevant suggestions, sorry.
Sounds like BitTorrent, too
