UN and AP race-baiting again. Both of them are a “man-made perfect storm”.

OK. Cancel your cell phone plan, cable television, sell your car and ride the bus, and cook your meals at home. Then we’ll talk about taking those savings and applying them to pay your water bill, and putting what’s left over in the bank.

Send a truck with untreated Detroit river water to neighborhoods on a union work schedule. Fill any buckets (residents have to supply the buckets) they bring out with water. First come first served. Better service than most of the UN nations have. You get what you pay for. You want clean water, in the pipes, you pay. Want third world pricing, take third world quality.

Detroit had 5 cholera epidemics in the 1800s until its doubtless then very white population paid to fix that. Its new majority doesn't want to pay and hasn't had its fair share of Detroit history.

[ApplegateRanch]

Doesn't a river run through it? Their ancestors knew what to do.

[Dallas59]

Time to send the UN packing.

[saintgermaine]

I am all for it and let the UN foot the bill, without the involvement of our tax Dollars. Let’s face it, there never was or ever will be any cure for stupidity, this includes socialism as well as some religions which thrive on creating mayhem instead of better understanding.

HA! Free enterprise, obligation of contract, rule of law, morality: man digs a well, sells water at half the price of captive muni water.

Detroit....no one digs a well cuz he’ll be killed, people will take water.

[goldstategop]

Don’t forget free breed. The poor must have their grub.

[Organic Panic]

And ‘they’ should give them free housing vouchers, free food, free electricity, free medical care, free phones, a government that looks just like them.....Oh wait.

[shalom aleichem]

Set up a town pump and let them haul their buckets.

[cripplecreek]

Let the UN pay the bills.



Michigan legislative action thread

[Popman]

Hand out free buckets....there is this huge lake down the road....

As much as you can carry is free....

[cyclotic]

I support the UN findings. In Michigan, you are never more than six miles from navigable water. Each family shall be given, at no charge one five gallon pail per family member with a sealed lid and one gallon of bleach per year. They can walk, or on their own find alternate transportation to a water source and thus have a limitless supply of free water.

[CSM]

Everything should be free!

[Graybeard58]

I see people on here who think that people who don’t pay their water bills should have their water shut off. I can agree with that but then some go on to say, “except for the truly needy”.

Nope, not even for the “truly needy”. Find that in the constitution for me please. I don’t owe anybody’s water bill but my own.

If my neighbor or a relative falls on hard times and needs my help, I will be the one who decides whether they are “truly needy” or not. It should never be up to the government to decide which people get my money as welfare.
