I agree, predatory capitalism is running rampant in this nation. Water is the next oil for some of the insane predators I believe. I also agree that the citizens of Flint, and any other state should get reparations for the harm that has been visited upon them. Genocide is a word that many do not like to hear and might feel is too much to describe what is happening in many cities all over this nation, but I agree, genocide can take many forms and it appears the intent in this incident adds up to a powerful case of indiscriminate harm in "certain" areas of the state of Michigan. I truly hope the citizens of this nation refuse to turn a blind eye to what is tantamount to the canary in the coal mine.

If one wants to know what the ruling class wishes for America, look to Haiti. This is as obvious as following the money in any controversy.
