    To be fair, it was one huge industrial area because of the great lakes ability to transport massive amounts of material. So it’s been poisoned land for like a hundred years now.

      Not really, no. The Upper Midwest has poisoned lakes and also the best freshwater reservoirs in the country.

      The GOP just choose to supply places like Flint from the poisoned ones because they’re corrupt and don’t give a shit about people who can’t afford to kick in at least $1000 in legal bribes every election season and more between elections.

        Sometimes I wish I could just use a magic wand. I’m glad there’s safe water, and I’m horrified they make anyone use the unsafe stuff.
