Flint occurred because Michigan’s Republican governor and legislature wanted to further bankrupt Detroit, who sold water to Flint. Obama declared it an emergency and the federal government gave millions to replace the pipes.

sounds like the work of Obiden-Bama-Democrats

Yep. Oddly enough working hand-in-hand with the "Profit over people" Republicans. It's why I remind people that both sides have chosen to fail us miserably in their own special ways.

Sep 2016 Trump came to Flint and promised to "fix" us. We waited. Our Mayor went to DC to try to ask for his help. He hasn't been back. But his admin rolling back environmental regulations & infrastructure spending just pushed everyone else closer to becoming like us in Flint

Very true. I spoke earlier this year at a Global Water Justice event and there are "less developed" countries with better water than us and who feel bad for us... it's unreal most days
