Michigan deploys National Guard to Flint

[Dr. Vincent Quin, Ph.D.]

---------------------------------
Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has deployed the National Guard to
help distribute water and filters in Flint amid a crisis over the
lead in the city’s water. The poisoning began after an unelected
emergency manager appointed by Governor Snyder switched the city’s
water source to the long-polluted Flint River in a bid to save
money. Residents have reported lasting health impacts, including
cognitive impairment. Residents have called for Governor Snyder’s
resignation and arrest.

Someone needs to pay, my mom's side of my entire family is
from poor, tired, decayed and crime-ridden Flint, Michigan.

Talk about a place only a mother could love~

It's a place where they really don't need a health crisis
like this to deploy the National Guard, it could use the
troops most any time.

I wonder if NBC equipment & tools of NG engineers can be deployed
against lead contamination... seems to me a mission definitively not in
the SOP/advance planning gamut.

but from a US mil engineer high (even by US standards) ingenuity is
expected.. so let's keep informed on this issue (albeit is a news whose
is likely be reported here in Italy)

Best regards from Italy,

Sadly, true. The industry leaving that area crushed that town.

The National Guard has been deployed to help hand out bottled water and help the locals.

They actually need more National Guard personnel, not less. No Conspiracy theory to it, those people need help ASAP and the Guard are a resource that can be used. (Conspiracy theories here are probably in the same vein as those cooked up by the people who believe FEMA and emergency responders from the Federal Government who practice setting up tent camps in case of major disasters really want to round up and imprison people.)

Michigan really, really needs to get industry back. It is a pity no one really talks about that on the national stage. The only one I know of who talks about that is Rick Santorum and he is polling around 1-3 percent in the GOP Primary right now.

[David E. Powell]

That is a brilliant idea! Here's hoping some kind of filtration gear is in a stockpile somewhere. Surely there must have been some in stock from the Cold War days, hopefully stored in good condition somewhere. Even if every house can't get gear, central points could be set up.

Pretty much the entire state was poisoned with
Polybrominated biphenyls back in the 70's.
If you lived in Michigan in 1973 and ate
meat or eggs, you got poisoned, Ron Howard did a
movie about it...


"In 1973, several thousand pounds of FireMaster BP-6 were
accidentally mixed with livestock feed that was distributed
to farms in Michigan, USA.[11] Some 1.5 million chickens,
30,000 cattle, 5,900 pigs, and 1,470 sheep then consumed
this feed, became contaminated with PBBs and the carcasses
were disposed of in landfill sites throughout the state.[12]
These events were portrayed in the 1981 film Bitter Harvest
and in the book "The Poisoning of Michigan". A 1978 episode
of Lou Grant ("Slaughter") portrays a similar, but
fictionalized account. One year elapsed before the
animals were culled."

[Dr. Vincent Quin, Ph.D.]

gee, what a warped and distorted opinion.

About your use of word "exploitation"...son, exploitation is the very
*essence* of Capitalism. The essence of socialism: people before profits.

The family unit is an example of basic socialism.

U.S. Socialism: minimum wage laws, child labor laws, 40 hour work week,
overtime pay, safe food, drug safety, public education k-12,
public roads, insurance of any type, nutrition labels, Social Security,
Medicare, Worker's Compensation insurance, etc.

Capitalism benefits the long-term common good *only* when controlled by socialism.

OUCH.

The 1970s were not a good time for chemicals in the USA. I feel terrible for all the Michiganders involved in this stuff.

I wonder if Flint has a lot of lead pipes as part of their infrastructure? Michigan's infrastructure itself may be an issue in some places that have been hit hard since the 1970s and haven't had much budget to improve or replace older gear.

You left out risk. Providing venture capital to a new neighborhood restaurant
employing 5 people, or a new company called Microsoft that eventually
employs thousands, there is an element of risk involved in the process.

If you're willing to take big risks, the payoff can be big, but typically it is a
bust. Most new businesses only last a year or two. No one seems to be crying
for the guy, big or small, that loses the gamble.

Fairness has its place, but greed is a powerful driving force that makes people
willing to risk their money and future for a later payoff for what they hope is a
"good idea".

Companies are not social welfare agencies. They are created to provide value
to their shareholders.

If it's so easy, there's nothing to stop anyone from chipping in some cash of
their own to make their easy fortunes themselves.

Greed is just as abundant in socialist economic systems as it is in capitalist ones.

Capitalism eventually leaves a trail of ruin as the Capitalists
pick up and move to a new area to exploit. The U.S. has 30 million
people living in poverty, and Capitalism has left its ugly remains

We need more socialist controls on American Capitalists...e.g. break

*You* would have failed. The vast majority of people work for

that might marginally make it if there is no competition.

"Dialogue" with you is not possible. Everyone here knows that!

You are capable only of non-negative interactions with those that mirror
your own political/economic opinions.

Dialogue is not possible with an ideologue such as yourself.

Starting *any* successful business is difficult.

I don't believe "fairness" would have started many.

"Mundane businesses" are where most people work. They don't get started
in the interests of fairness. They get started to make money and earn
a living.

Dingbat. I already said it was difficult, with higher likelihood of
failure than success. Socialist systems have historically done much worse.

Maximize profits indeed. How that is done is more a function of the
people managing the company.

You'll note some of the fine communists of the Soviet Union smoothly
transitioned to capitalism when that Union broke up. The onset of
Capitalism didn't suddenly change their natures. Capitalism didn't
suddenly make them greedy exploitive bastards. Socialist countries
have their share of the type as well.

I'm not quite sure what the relevance of the question is or what

I've had to pay quarterly estimated taxes and 100% of my employment

But I suppose you'd be a veritable Bill Gates if you only lived under

well son, the relevance is that you have vigorously defended the
alleged virtues of Capitalism (that anyone can start their own business,
become their own boss, and become rich) and yet in your entire
lifetime you never did that (you always worked for other people),
proving your assertions a *myth* (or that you are too stupid to do
what you say anyone can do).

in short, your own lifetime proves your assertions false.

Spoken like a true politician. Your 'capitalism' includes a corporate
spying industry latched onto the so-called national security apparatus
which is utterly out of control, and the recipient of a bottomless
well of funding for which there is no practical fiscal accountability.
Fully half of your government is employed on the basis that the poor
and poverty were created by God to give employment to government
workers, and to give them a subject population to exploit for
ideological purposes. Your "capitalism" allows the massive fraud of
organized religion to prosper on the backs of brainwashed masses as
unregulated tax-free economic concerns.

Your captitalist participants are divided into two categories. The
first and vastly smaller group are the genuine innovators who utilize
technical and economic means to generate prosperity for themselves and
their employees. The second and much larger category are the amoral
exploitative parasites who suck on the neck of the nation and drink
its blood without regard for the consequences of their policies --
thieving rats, IOW.

Your little sound bite is on par with the myth of equality between the
sexes or among different ethinic groups. Jingoistic horseshit.

5 things to know about Flint's water crisis

"In charge of the city's budget amid a financial emergency, the
state decided to temporarily switch Flint's water source from
Lake Huron to the Flint River as a cost-saving measure until
a new supply line to Lake Huron was ready. The river had a
reputation for nastiness, and after the April 2014 switch,
residents complained their water looked, smelled and tasted
funny.

Virginia Tech researchers found the water was highly corrosive.
A class-action lawsuit alleges the state Department of
Environmental Quality didn't treat the water for corrosion,
in accordance with federal law, and because so many service
lines to Flint are made of lead, the noxious element leached
into the water of the city's homes.

How tap water became toxic in Flint

The city switched back to the Lake Huron water supply in October,
but the damage was already done to the lead pipes. The state
is now handing out filters and bottled water with the National
Guard."
