Lead is a major problem here in the States but as it usually just poisons poor people it's all good.

It's not a major problem here in the states. Sure it happens in isolated places. Jesus man, take some more hyberpole pills to make whatever point it is you're trying to make. Apparently Flint, Michigan represents the entire United States. Cool story. Hey...Guess what kind style of Gov rules that shit hole?

It would be great if I was being hyperbolic, but sorry. Do some research. It's not as horrible as it was, but only fairly bad.

As to the government, do you mean the Republican Governor, the Republican control Legislature, the governor appointed Republican Special Manager that was running Flint.

He cancelled the water contract for clean water from the Detroit water department for cheap acidic water from the Flint River requiring the refurbishment, and reopening, of the old water treatment plant. Then ordered the necessary chemicals for treating the water to save money. The chemicals did cost several hundred dollars per day.

Or do you mean the also craptastic Democratic city government that was not running the city?

How is one city not an outlier for the rest of the country. Boy it's really hot in Death Valley, therefore all of America is dry and hot as fuck. Your logic.

The same issue was found in several other towns that switched water sources. It was a bit of a fad in utility management.

As the cliche says it's penny wise and pound foolish. Too bad there were a bunch of wise fools there.

As I understand it, and I know zip, the cost of the needed chemicals is supposed to be dirt cheap so you would still save money.

Again it would be nice if it was just Flint.

Lead poisoning is an ignored problem.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... int-crisis

The violations occurred across virtually every US state last year. Most seriously, 1,110 community water utilities provided water that exceeded the EPA’s actionable limit for lead in water. This means that more than 3.9 million Americans were exposed to dangerously high levels of lead in 2015.

Lead poisoning is not just water. Much of it is from all the lead paint used in older homes. Lead paint wasn't banned until the 1972. Many cities have lead pipes, which have a buildup, or coating from the water that prevents lead from leaching out. Until the coating gets damage like at Flint.

A big problem is that nobody knows just where all the lead piping is as it was only banned in the 1930s. So any building older than ~80 years is likely but not necessarily have lead pipes. Most records either incomplete or gone.

Avoid the cities. You have been warned.

[skankhunt42]

Alright, so certain communities will update and fix the problem. You act like this is the entire country and not a few isolated places.

The cities are the source of the degeneracy, the corruption, and the intellectual decline. Get out while you can. Those are not good places to live any longer.

[Calculus Man]

I wish I could man. I am lower middle class at best...I need my yob.

Maybe one day when I have the capital to buy some property. For now my best option is the middle ground between rural and suburb.
