A Temporary Solution for Flint: Let them Eat Snow...Der..Duh..

[Silhouette]

A friend and I watched with mixed horror and amusement as the media covered the Flint lead poisoning story. People were running around frantic about not having any safe drinking water at least. As they trudged through a layer of fresh snow all over the ground, with more falling from the sky as on-scene reporters covered the scoop.



Of course this isn't a permanent solution...but it is January, in the upper Midwest and, fresh water is lying around in everyone's front and back yard aplenty. At the very least, mothers with infants should be told to gather snow, place it in a pot near a heater or source of ambient heat in their home and mix that for formula or just for basic drinking water for little kids...the most susceptible to lead.

Then the area can get its act together before the last snowfall and not have lead for its citizens to drink.

Snow: folks, it's made of water that was distilled into clouds and falls pure to the earth. You're welcome..

Federal state of emergency declared in Flint, Mich. over bad water...

Obama declares emergency in Michigan over bad water - White House
Sat Jan 16, 2016 - U.S. President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in Michigan on Saturday and ordered federal aid for state and local response efforts in the county where the city of Flint has been contending with lead-contaminated drinking water.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder had asked the president to declare both an emergency and an expedited major disaster in Genesee County to protect the safety of Flint residents. Obama is authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency to coordinate disaster relief efforts there, the White House said in a statement.

The action is being taken to "lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in Genesee County," it said. Snyder sent the Michigan National Guard to distribute bottled water and other supplies in the area earlier this week. A financially struggling city, Flint was under control of a state-appointed emergency manager when it switched its source of tap water from Detroit's system to the nearby Flint River in April 2014 to save money.

Flint, which is about 60 miles (100 km) northwest of Detroit, returned to using that city's water in October after tests found elevated levels of lead in the water and in the blood of some children.

You can let your kids play around the soils and ground water of Tokyo...and bathe in it and brush their teeth and drink tap water pulled from aquifers there. I'll pass, thanks. Don't have the nest egg set aside to treat childhood cancer..

Flint knew the water was polluted when they pulled out of detroit's water. The city council should be arrested and jailed for long long terms.

 

[Unkotare]

So, how's the evacuation going, genius?

Not well at all if you look at the youtube and consider the impact and how nothing's being done...

In other words, you were full of shit from the get-go and there never was any such "evacuation," right genius?

Did you watch the youtube genius?

 

[Unkotare]

Wow, soooooooo many people waiting to board the trains this morning in Tokyo. Going to school, work, shopping - generally living in one of the most heavily populated cities on earth.

How wide is the exclusion zone at Chernobyl in the Ukraine? Overlay that over Fukushima at ground zero, fanning out.

Have fun. And DO watch that video top of page 2 here where the man demonstrates dangerous Fukushima-origin radiation being found in air conditioner filters in apartments where kids live in Tokyo...OK?

I know geography is difficult you, but Chernobyl is not in Japan.




Glad to help you with that.

they want to pin it on the governor

but in reality it was a planned move by the karnondi water authority

which is a local municipal corporation

actually it is the piping from the river that is causing the lead issue

dayne walling should have known this day one
