Iâm just super fucking bitter that once the flint water crisis got itâs 15 minutes of fame people stopped giving a shit. The water is still poisoned, people! Donations have plummeted and people have been forced back into drinking and bathing with the water! The medical effects of this are astounding, cases of legionnaires disease have skyrocketed, people are having seizures, people are having weird rashes break out over their body, people (including me!) are having their blood poisoned, and itâs not just lead! itâs coliform bacteria! itâs THMs! itâs all in the water and it gets into the bloodstream and breaks down blood vessels, causing bruising and petechiae and internal bleeding and no one gives a shit anymore and itâs only gotten worse like how many people are going to have to die until people realize this is still a problem
I would like to add that the people of Flint cannot sell their houses, because selling a house with leaded water is illegal. Additionally, households with children canât stop paying for the water because living in a house without running water is cause for CPS to take their kids. Flint has been living this way for over two years.Â
The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem.Â
Because the government has abandoned them, they are dependant on help from the outside. Donate here
If u canât donate, reblog so someone else can!!!
