Default Flint, MI and the water crisis.

Un-freaking-believable.

Had read about this a while ago. So glad it's blowing up so badly in their faces.

This is the kind of **** you see in movies but think could never happen in real life.

Google this some more. It's gonna blow your mind.

I mean I live pretty close to it and it's all I've seen on the local news for a while now. It's such an absolute cluster**** with no quick solutions, and I don't know what the people living there are going to do.

Right now. You know how I hate that lame click bait crap. It's nothing to do with the actual issue.

It's not a click bait trap, it leads to a real issue. Rome fell cause they kept wine in wine flasks that had lead. The lead contamination the wine they drank which lead to lead poisoning which lead to not too smart Romans which lead to the fall of the Roman empire which lead into the Middle Ages. This is a serious problems so please if you want to lead as a mod please refrain from joking around, before it leads to a **** storm between you and Chula. Frownland, please lead by example.
