Thanks Obama.
Personal responsibility?
The right elected a man who inherited tremendous wealth, increased that wealth largely by screwing creditors through bankruptcy, mocked a disabled person, cheated on his wives, was sued by the DOJ twice for discrimination, advocated war crimes against the families of terrorists, encouraged his supporters to attack protesters, suggested the U.S. default on its debts, disparaged POWs who get captured, defended the internment of Japanese Americans, started birtherism, claimed breastfeeding was “disgusting,” scammed students out of millions with a fake university, bragged about the size of his penis on national television, called for the death penalty for five exonerated men, claimed Ted Cruz's father was involved in the Kennedy assassination, walked into the dressing rooms of teenage pageant contestants, used charity money to pay his personal legal bills, and lied so many times that his own attorneys refuse to meet with him one-on-one.
After all of this, not only has he denied any personal responsibility, but his party and their voters have refused to relinquish support for him
So when you talk about personal responsibility, my response is 1) to laugh, and 2) to tell you to go fuck yourself, you ignorant political hack
Over 90% of Republicans voted for Trump. But wait, you don't like lumping half the country into one viewpoint? Interesting.
you wouldn't be a leftist if you didn't try to escape personal responsibility.
but this thread did so good for a whole day not getting into this crud. stop. don't get banned. go watch tv. go love your spouses and your family. go throw the football with your kids, or better yet, come to the farm and muck out our stalls and hen house.
You act like disgusting behavior is unique to one side in particular. Both sides have their problems.
Dooty!
Anyways, so I should be good right?
Except, I do not think you can shower with it.
Depends on what you are drinking. If it's Bud Light, I think that is a water equivalent, so not sure if you are in the clear or not.
Like screwing in a canoe because it's fucking close to water
you can shower in beer....
Well at least we saved some money....................
(Edit: maybe not everyone was detecting the /s)
I detected the sarcasm. It's just not funny.
It was an outage at a booster station for the GLWA. I think the Farmington Hills portion of the advisory is mostly between 8 Mile and 9 Mile between Haggerty and Drake. There's a smaller area north of 9 Mile but south of Freedom between Drake and Halstead that is included too. Not sure about the Livonia boundaries.
and if/when armegeddon happens, we win. flint's problems have been coming on for decades and is being used as a stupid political football. fix the system, stop kvetching about it.
How have Flint's problems been coming on for decades?
include just lead being used on pipe joints as the source of the problem then you think the problem is knowing those joints existed for decades and doing nothing about it.
If you understand there was nothing wrong until Flint switched water sources and didn't properly treat its water to save money with the thumbs up from the state which caused a corrosion problem in said lead pipes which led to lead exposure for anyone who drank it then you know the problem is recent.
That's made me wonder for decades... Why is lead weight still allowed for fishing, but lead shot cannot be used for waterfowl hunting? WTF??
If something toxic gets in our Great Lakes, it can still spread. Also, we're fighting Nestle and other companies in small municipalities because they want to bottle more of our water and sell it elsewhere. I'll probably be dust by Armageddon time, but thought I'd throw those thoughts out there..
fix a municipal water system though. I'm all for people fixing their own individual problems, but when something is a public good that must be taken care of on a larger scale, like clean municipal water supplies, political pressure on those that do have control is the best course of action that most people can take to get it fixed.
I agree that it has been pounced on by political opportunists in ways the have nothing to do with the actual crisis, but that doesn't minimize the actual problem nor excuse those who have exacerbated it through negligence.
or drink bottled, you're not doing the best thing.
to make low salinity water potable (in most cases) than it is high salinity water.
Of course, you need municipal/public services to make that happen still. So the point remains that MI seems pretty bad at that.
Don't know what the issue is in the burbs, but I can tell you that infrastructure is old everywhere. Duluth has a massive issue with old water infrastructure, with the lifespans of the original mains expiring AND the lifespans of the cheaper repair stuff they put in 40 years ago drying up as well. We've had water main issues frequently (including a weekend without water in my home last summer) and the local utility is going to jack up my water rates to pay for it.
A lot of original infrastructure was built in industrializing areas that is now aging into trouble. As SQ says, there are a lot of cities with issues on tap.
