The Ultimate Privatization Will Be Buying A Bottle Of Air To Breath.

You would think that privatization has to end somewhere. However the GOP wants to turn everything over to a profitable commodity. We see what is happening to vital resources like water. Flint is only the beginning. And the rot in the infrastructure is there as well. It may take years to replace eroding pipes that also poison the people.

So in Snyderland as long as you have a lot of money you will get the best of the best. Otherwise if you are poor, a minority or on the wrong side of the tracks you get what is leftover.

Now if the people in Flint were to take over something they would be jailed or killed. Of course most of them are brown skinned.

A Canadian company is selling Vitality Air.

$14.00 to $20.00 per canister depending on size.

(Just type in cans of air being sold in China.)

It is the first article that pops up.
