Apparently it's bad? Like, maybe poisonous? and the governor or mayor or some government person said that it's fine? I dunno, but it seems like a big deal.

What's up with Flint, and the water there, and the government response to the water?

OK, somebody linked to this article

http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jan/16/flints-water-crisis-what-went-wrong

and I think the basic deal is Flint was on Detroit water, told Detroit they were gonna switch over to a new system, Detroit said "gently caress you, pay us more for the water you're getting until the switchover happens" and the Flint government decided to use the poison river water in the interum instead, and hope nobody noticed before they switched to the new water system

Have I walked into the China thread by mistake?

No, this is the thread about Flint, Michigan's water situation.

Suddenly over half a million refugees from Detroit somehow show up in Greece and Turkey.

Eh, do it like Pripyat. Tell everyone they're being evacuated for 3 days, line up busses, get them all out, shoot the pets, hose down the tires and never let them go back till Flint has been reclaimed by nature. Play our cards right we can turn it into a desolate tourist hotspot too

I don't think it would have the same appeal if the town was already halfway reclaimed by nature before the evacuation.

It's really hard to take an angry political message seriously when it's written in chalk and a variety of festive colors.
