Switching Water Sources!

In Flint, Michigan, the city decided to switch water sources from the Detroit system to use the Flint River instead for financial reasons. Unfortunately, there was inadequate water treatment for water from the river and lead leached from the old pipes. Officials of the city were aware of the problem long before it became obvious but kept quiet! Not surprisingly, lead levels in children were found to be elevated. Municipal services around the world continue to deteriorate while profits continue to rise. 

In other words, our economy is ever larger and the portion going to the vast majority is ever smaller.
