These 33 Cities Cheated on Lead Contamination Tests, Similar to Flint, Michigan

At least 33 cities in the U.S. cheated when testing water for lead contamination. With these “cheats the cities misrepresented the amount of lead in their water supply, according to a Guardian investigation.

Not only does this raise concern for those cities, but surrounding towns as well, The Guardian added. Several big cities sell water to almost “400 adjacent cities and towns.

I think this problem is much more prolific than meets the eye. All kinds of sludgy filth and shit in our drinking water. Drugging us all with fluoride since I can remember. Now the infrastructure is decaying at a rate from which a recovery may tax the system beyond repair. Is it financially feasible for the corporate big wigs to make a profit by building up the infrastructure to a new modern level of quality and efficiency? Shareholders make all the difference. Who are the shareholders of the infrastructure?

This is an old story. Doesn't seem to have made any kind of progress. Keep in mind that it's the banking structure that makes these final decisions. The US Treasury doesn't make any moves without approval from the Federal Reserve.

In Thailand the Chinese want concessions to help build up their railroad system. Recently the Thai government balked on negotiations as the Chinese wanted rights sort of like what the old American companies acquired back in the 1860s.
