When Will Jackson, MS, Residents Get Their Water Back? | Katy Tur | MSNBC
When do the people of Flint Michigan ever going to get drinkable water.
All residents in Flint have had scientifically verified clean drinking water since 2019, although many people there still harbor a very understandable distrust of it to this day. You can learn more about it by searching “has Flint water crisis ended?” in your web browser of choice.
I’m with Deadmeat’s sentiment. Just change one word. When are the people ever going to get *trustworthy* drinkable water? Don’t think they’re there yet. Only been a year or so.
MS is a failed red state, that blue states must support.
Don’t dis on MS
stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in the middle east, arab lives matter, end the sanctions, end the wars
That’s a very progressive sentiment. Not what I’d expect attached to anything with “Tex” in the title, but hey
Immortal Asirpa thanks, I am one of the few leftists in Texas, but this is actually a common sense position with broad bipartisan support
We live in a backwards country. Let’s catch up with other civilized nations.
All those Infrastructure Weeks since 2017 and nothing was ever done. Shocking! 🤔😅😂
They will not get good drinking water with Republicans running the state
You mean like Flint Michigan’s water blue state
Just Like Flint Michigan a blue state
@Move on Over know your history beta it was the republicans who made the flint warlter crisis…
brilliantly said, ty both. infrastructure has been largely ignored for years, around the nation.
He did what most politicians do.
Crossed his fingers and hoped it wouldn’t happen again ! 😑
It is what happens when those in power cling on to power by keeping taxes artificially low, no different than when house owners skimp on maintenance – everything is all good right until it is not.
Don’t just pick on one city and one mayor. Systemic infrastructure inadequacies are rampant every where in America. Jackson is just where this problem is most visible today. The poor mayor does not have the several $100 million necessary to change the dynamic.
You mean Opportunity Zones *aren’t* going to solve all infrastructure problems in the US?
The United States has truly become a third world country with a ruling class of millionaires and billionaires overseeing a serfdom.
I am from Iran & can’t believe what’s happening in ur country!
These things don’t happen in our country under crippling sanctions. What’s going on?
When did miss. Get water lol
Call your congressman. He’s a republican. He’ll help you (lol. not)
Just like in Flint Michigan blue state
Why did the rich white communities get water when other didn’t…..a long meandering answer to say….systemic racism.
Loss of water in JXN is not the current mayor’s fault. This problem is due to lack of investment in infrastructure dating back to the 1970’s and possibly beyond.
I’m so proud of Mayor Lumumba’s efforts in his current role. So many of Mississippi’s best and brightest have left the state for better opportunities elsewhere (no slight intended).
Ngl i thought that was drake at first.
MS is like most red states: large corporations pay little to no taxes while low & middle income tax payers are expected to shoulder most of the burden to fill the state’s coffers.
Ms state. It was ALOT of ice for us. Mississippi just gets hate.
