I'm a Brit who lives in Canada so a complete outsider and I wish I had a man like Michael Moore fighting for my rights in such a public way. He's an American patriot who wants it return to the great days.
+madtv719 As always, Americans are not subject to the international human rights court and this is the sort of price America - and in some cases the entire world - will continue to pay, unless the USA subscribe to international human rights jurisdiction.
+Rylan Joran Indeed. Even if Bernie wins the presidency, I can't see the US doing this any time soon. Even the Dem's worry about ceding "sovereignty " to international organisations like this. I heard today that the more wealthy parts of Flint had better pipes that didn't leach lead. People must go to jail for this outrage. It's disgusting almost beyond comprehension. Rachel Maddow deserves an award for breaking and sticking with the story.
+No GMO Joe Gaddafi was also a socialist, and he had a debt free nation on the verge of producing paper money backed by gold and platinum. He should have never gave up his WMD.
+No GMO Joe You're already a socialist if you send your kids to school. use the post office, drive on the highway, have a parent on social security or medicare, have a police and fire department, make use of your local dump, use the town sewer system, listen to the weather report, have a public library, use the court system, have snow removal, want to have a military, have student loans, care about VA health care, go to the local park, zoo or public beaches, drive over bridges, go to museums, listen to public radio, want to have jails to contain dangerous criminals, etc. You have a mouth full of Chips Ahoy while you're saying that you don't like cookies sir.
+afroindia42 Let's put this in perspective, it would be great if the President could stop by, to give this the appropriate focus as only the President can. Your disgust should be directed toward those who facilitated it, namely the Governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder.
Presidents can't just make a detour like a regular person. Everything has to be organized and ordained safe. You never know who's waiting for him or who's listening. But I think the people have to show their support as well. We need to get up in there, not me, lol if I could do it financially, yeah. But anyways. We need to go out
+Hal Barbour No, not just Snyder. Anyone who has the clout to make things better and doesn't. The people of Flint should forgo paying the water bills, and use that money to buy water in the mean time. This should be a lesson to everyone. The people are not a priority to this government. It doesn't matter which side of the isle.
Mark Ballard Snyder has to come before Congress and answer questions, under oath about this tragedy. There will be congressional inquiries and I'm sure Obama will have more to say, and do in respect to this.
If a normal person did these crimes they'd be charged with terrorism....the thought of charging this guy wouldn't even remotely come across peoples' minds.
Consuming bottled water is also not a good strategy. It would be different if plastic bottles were formed, stored and allowed to stabilize prior to being filled with tap water. They aren't. Unstable, hot plastic is formed and sent, via conveyor belt, to be filled. Those bottles are then stored, sometimes for years and allowed to cool and stabilize while leaching out BPB toxins and other xenoestrogens into that water.
+Ahntara123 They should be giving out Berkey water filters, though, that doesn't help very much as up to a quart (litre) of water is absorbed through the skin during bathing.
+chownful I'll defer the answer to that to a scientist. But personally, I would (at the very least) want the plastic to cool off. Truth is, 60+ years of research and we still don't have the full story of the danger plastics pose. One of the possible reasons was uncovered in early testing. Serious consequences did not show up in rats until the 5th and 6th generation from initial exposure. If you look at the timing, that's where the human race is now. Is it just happenstance that we have skyrocketing rates of autism, endocrine issues, developmental problems? Wish I could provide you specific info. Some of it simply isn't available (yet). If you're truly interested, just do a bit of research and start using glass.
Ahntara123 I don't consume bottled water often, but I don't know if it is as harmful as you are saying. I was always under the assumption that you had to store the water in the plastic bottle for years before any detectable amount leeched into the water.
It seems fitting that the birthplace of the middle class is where this kind of thing would happen. A final punishment from your friends in big government and the unions!
Actually The Environmental Protection Agency's regional administrator for Flint, Michigan, has resigned. Susan Hedman was appointed by Obama . Susan Hedman was appointed by President Barack Obama to be EPA Region 5 Administrator on Earth Day 2010. Read the emails released from Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder. Hedman was quoted in the Detroit News saying her office was told April 2015 that the switch of drinking water for residents from Lake Huron to Flint River could bring contamination. But she failed to tell anyone including the Governor. When this is all over the EPA will be blamed for this. The Governor didn't order the change in the water. It was the Flint city council and the democrat Mayor Dayne Walling who changed it.
I can't believe that this wasn't a well known issues publicly and that people didn't talk about it, until months and months after it happened. Thousands and thousands of children and people of all ages have been poisoned. And are still getting poisoned, while the people who did this are getting away with it. How can people turn a blind eye to so much suffering and injustice? This makes me feel so sick and emotional that this has happened.
***** Lol, first of all I don't live in that shithole of a city called Flint. Second, it IS the states responsibility to maintain those pipes. The people of Flint HAVE paid their taxes but our corrupt/cheap state government didn't feel it was necessary to treat the water even though they knew how much lead was in those pipes.
Don't always agree with Michael Moore, but it's good to know there are people out there with the resources to be able to investigate these things and at least get the facts out there for people to make their own decisions. It's scary to know that without someone like Michael Moore and Rachel Maddow snooping around, people like Snyder can do such horrible things without having a moral dilemma
Business as usual....a shrinking middle class, poor national test results, obesity, decades (at least) of plutocratic rule. and the list goes on as we move from domestic affairs.
If this was going on in another country our government would call the people in charge monsters but here they just ignore it. What is going on in our country???
+Cheech Chong Exactly. This isn't an issue with the governor. This is an issue with a town that elected corrupt officials. Using emergency powers the governor replaced these elected officials.
+Cheech Chong she s however the elected officials in Flint had nothing to do in this as Michigan is the only state where the governor can replace ELECTED officials with his own UNELECTED officials via the bullsht of "emergency managers". The only elected official at fault here is Snyder and the crooks he appointed
So if the Governor GOT that extra disaster relief ... what's to stop him from just using most of the money to subsidize the State's budget instead while setting up more Tax cuts for his rich republican cronies there?
The Utility Director (water boss) of Flint who created this mess in the first place (Howard Croft) was black. His qualification as Director? He installed SOLAR PANELS. He knew nothing of chemistry or water treatment. 7 of the 9 members of the Flint City Council & who voted for the changes and who hired incompetent Croft were black, 7 of 9. Yet it is the white Governors fault? Snyder did not hire Croft or create this mess. This was an easily preventable event if water stabilizer was added to the water and would have cost less than a penny a person a month. Yet the black director did not know to do this as they do not teach this in SOLAR PANEL school. Want the truth? I have hundreds of hours of water treatment training so I know this.
I truly understand the unfortunate news that is being reported as of late about the flint water however how does this differ than ALL of our water being treated with flouride? intentionally or otherwise....
Even if they claim to fix the water supply, I highly recommend capturing snow and/or rain water from now on. Stainless steel water tanks for those who can afford them. Maybe neighbors on one block can go in together on one tank. Or food grade plastic barrels (used to hold cattle feed). Filter, filter, filter your rain/snow water, then BOIL. Have your OWN supply that falls from the sky right into your storage unit.
Snyder needs out for putting those Emergency Managers in that were all incompetent. The state and FED level EPA needs to be fired for sitting back and doing nothing. This was like the electricity going out in a neighborhood, but nobody calling for help because they think someone else is taking care of it!! Michael Moore needs to call out the EPA and quit blaming a bunch of paper pushing govs and mayors who were told everything's fine by all these tech people!!!!
Hard to believe that 150 have disliked a video that highlights a criminal injustice connected with the poisoning of thousands of children. Only in America :(
Snyder is partly responsible, but not directly. Blaming all of this on him bastardizes the truth. The brunt of the blame is at the DEQ for blatantly covering it up. Snyder didn't know until this past fall. While he should have put better people in place, that certainly does not make him directly responsible.
This is beyond disturbing. I think its way too easy for Americans to dismiss poor and black communities. It reminds me of Katrina and the stall for help to the poorer wards. For me this is just another example. These are human beings help them WTF.
Michael Moore has been in hospital lately, but wants people to know about his latest movie which may be his best, and concerns the direction we citizens can all help the country take.
there is no such thing as third world countries. please stop saying that. if you disagree, then by water standards flint would be such a place. there is one world. we're all part of it. love.
If they were handing out bottled water because the tap water is compromised.............stop drinking the tap water and go buy bottle water ........ and don't say they couldn't afford it ..... its 4 bucks for 24 bottles of water.
Come on guys. You don't honestly believe they didn't know what they were doing - do you? Do you think they were drinking the water? Or the people they care about?
Biast reporting! Why not talk about the crisis in Palm Beach Florida last year?! Apparently, last Christmas, the supply of Evian at the supermarket were dangerously low-people were drinking cheaper brands. I heard some people drank water from the tap-disgusting. Nobody suffers like the .001%
How is this the governor's problem when this is a city situation. Why is Mike Moore blaming the governor when this has to do with the city water supply administered by the city government? It's obvious. The governor has an (R) next to his name and city mayor & council are ALL (D)'s. If the political situation was reversed, I guarantee he would be blaming the city government.
+Inquisitor6321 The Governor appointed "emergency city managers' a few years ago, people whose authority super-cedes the local administration and reports directly to the governor
Is the Governor going to be held accountable? Of course not. Instead some middle manager or department head they can find a way to blame this all on will have their career and life destroyed.
The situation in Michigan is not unique, in 2007 the interstate highway 35W bridge in downtown Minneapolis Minnesota fell in to the Mississippi River due to "lack of proper maintenance coupled with a poor structural design", but that only touches on one dimension of the problem, and the minimal problem at that--the MAJOR problem, as in Flint, that THE MONEY WAS AVAILABLE, BUT IT WAS BEING SPENT ON CUSHY SALARIES AND FAT EXPENSE ACCOUNTS AND TONEY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE BUILDINGS... it's also being diverted to maintain the tax breaks and loopholes that funnel money directly into the pocket of Richard Rich, enabling that class of classical criminals to cash in off the plunder that the financial sector!is complicit in wreaking on the general population... The water POISONING that Herr governor Snyder initiated CANNOT go unpunished, and he SHOULD BE SUBJECT to appropriate sentence :LIFE IN PRISON...
i just cannot get over EVERY SINGLE CHILD IN FLINT UNDER 6 -- that's 8000 children -- being poisoned and probably permanently damaged because of some VERY minor budget savings. if ever there were a reason to vote for #berniesanders it would be this. #feelthebern and get democrats back in office, strengthen the middle class, and bring prosperity back to our nation.
In all respect for Moore, he stuffs himself with the most horrible unhealthy fast food crap day in day out and will in fact die on some heart related disease because you is unable get his addiction to food under control. What he does to his body is maybe almost as bad as drinking that water.
The trajectory of the human experience may be changed with Bernie Sanders win tonight in Wisconsin. Senator Bernie Sanders - next best thing to Jesus! Keep the faith! : )
We should look into all of our cities, drinking water this is the "Tip of the Iceberg" There is a great video from Erin Brokovich talking about Flint, as well as Ohio, and Louisiana showing problems.
The balls on this guy Snyder acting like it was somebody else's fault..... Wtf dude you signed off on everything. You wrote legislation do that you had sole power.
Can anyone point to anything truly concrete that connects the governor to the water crisis? It seems the crisis was instead caused by local politicians.
I wonder when Moore haters are going to wake up and realize that he represents them more than any politician or donald trump ever could.
I'm a Brit who lives in Canada so a complete outsider and I wish I had a man like Michael Moore fighting for my rights in such a public way. He's an American patriot who wants it return to the great days.

I was thinking about moving to Michigan, but after hearing about this water fiasco, I'll never, ever go to Michigan to live. NEVER..
sigh
If this happened in Beverly Hills, it would have fixed right away.
The governor should be charged. He did this to the people, and now he's not taking responsibility for it. He's certainly not fixing the problem!!
The federal government is going to hold you, Snyder, accountable!
+Alex Burck They probably won't.
No, I'm a tea Tard, just like you! Palin/Trump in 2016!

Is the problem attributable to Nestle that bottles the lake water and sells it all over the world? I suspect Nestle is in on this.

Then clearly...you can prove it....NOT!
can you believe this is happening in America? smh hope for immediate recovery of flint water supply
its crazy
Everyone in Flint, and the state of Michigan, should be ready to oust that governor and any elected official who continues to support him.

Why was not Gov. Snyder held accountable??!!!!
Good to see Luke Russert has finally found his level of expertise in broadcast news.
I think the blame can entirely be put on the residents of Flint who have no ability to get off welfare and pay taxes
Michael Moore could just play himself in a Star Wars bar scene and he'd be the creepiest character there.
May golden showers of prosperity rain upon you.
Even if they claim to fix the water supply, I highly recommend capturing snow and/or rain water from now on. Stainless steel water tanks for those who can afford them. Maybe neighbors on one block can go in together on one tank. Or food grade plastic barrels (used to hold cattle feed). Filter, filter, filter your rain/snow water, then BOIL. Have your OWN supply that falls from the sky right into your storage unit.
