We gazed into the eyes of madness... And all we found was horny.




The Romans also thought drinking an athlete's sweat and piss gave them their vitality.

Do we have anyone in today's day and age who can confirm this?

So, is there a decent chance that this, plus all of the other recent fuckups that local branches have caused, will be an impetus to completely reorganize the EPA into a more centralized agency?

I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop on the "bad but not quite as much as poisoning a minority community to save a buck" stuff that'll be coming out. I mean, assuming it hasn't already started with those teachers protesting the deplorable conditions of Detroit's schools.

Let's see, which is more likely: a cacophony of fuckups at just about all levels of government (mainly state) lead to a terrible and entirely preventable tragedy in their rush to save a buck, or it's all actually part of a corporate conspiracy that would've required decades of preparation to create the perfect storm of plausible explanations for the coverup?

And, again, which conspiracy is more likely: a global corporation running a long con that would absolutely hurt them if the truth got out, or a bunch of incompetent leaders trying to cover their asses for a real massive gently caress up that came about from failing to do their due diligence?

Your conspiracy theory falls apart under the most basic scrutiny, dude.

They already had a perfectly fine source of water from Detroit before the shitshow started. The plan was to use the river as a cheap stopgap while they got everything set up to transition over to another water source. Once the governor, EPA, et. al realized how massively they hosed up... They hastily switched back to Detroit, instead of exclusively buying a ton of bottled drinks. And that's just the most basic stuff; why go after Flint when there's Detroit, for example?

Do I agree that the bottled drink industry is massively hosed up, and has done incredibly harmful poo poo in their quest to privatize water? Hell yeah. But it just doesn't fit with this situation. All of the evidence points to individuals in the area government not doing their due diligence in their attempts to save a buck, and correspondingly freaking out when they realized how badly they'd screwed up.
