Neoliberalism: The Ideology That Dares Not Speak Its Name
#15
Flint's water crisis was because Flint's REPUBLICAN-appointed "emergency manager" decided to stop paying Detroit for their water in order to save money and switched to getting water from the Flint River, which is naturally acidic due to the local geology and needed to be treated, which the city government under the control of the emergency manager was too cheap to do even though it was supposed to and expected to. The result was lead from the older pipes ending up getting leached into the water, and when people started complaining the problem was covered up as long as they could get away with.

As for schools, that is a community responsibility and thus well-funded public schools are a moral obligation for a just and good society. The whole idea of "market solutions" for EDUCATING OUR KIDS is downright evil as far as I'm concerned.
