AS A FELLOW MISSISSIPPIAN, THE GOVERNOR IS THE BLAME. THE WATER TREATMENT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE THE 70S. HE KEEPS SENDING MONEY BACK INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. HE IS TRYING TO SCAPEGOAT THE MAYOR BUT WONT SEND HELP TO REPAIR THE WATER PROBLEM. THE WHOLE PLANT NEEDS TO BE REBUILT AND THE GOVERNOR KNOWS THAT. THEY WOULD RATHER SEND THE MONEY TO NEIGHBORING COUNTIES THAT ARE PREDOMINANTLY WHITE
We need to help America first
Joe Biden send billions to Ukraine he should give help to Mississippi
I can see why they have a water problem.
They will wait for 2-3 hours for one case of water. Guess they have plenty of Gas !
$ 4.00 dollars of water and $ 25.00 dollars of gas !
Go Figure ?
I wonder what would happen if they tried to go beyond boiling the water, as an inferno burner hot heat on rapid boil. It would seem it could result in some evaporation of the water supply and of course would then require cooling down. It would also pose a hazard as to say, ('do not try this at home') but if there was a water treatment plant/facility they might be able to. That water would be so hot, that bacteria would be burnt singed gone. 💦.
Grandma used to say there were only 12 or so plots in literature & Shakespeare probably wrote 9. I used to listen to Gil Scott-Heron's 1971 poem "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" with a sense of hope, but now I realize the more things seem to change, the more they stay the same. Just ask anyone in Flint, The Navajo Nation, or South Jersey. The Revolution will not be televised because it will never happen… (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwSRqaZGsPw)
American 🇺🇸!!!!
Federal and state level!!!
Are responsible to keep up structure of water 💦 systems

I hope God helps both places Asap..I have faith God will help both place's.. Deon is from Michigan how ironic..
it is a human issue not black and white issue that is just a settlement issue I think water should be safe for everyone regardless of color..
You know why it never happened to the rich and wealthy community because they are paying their taxes (property taxes and income taxes). The more tax ppl pay, the better for the community. (school, health care, and other public services).
They need to FIX THIS. How ridiculous and disgraceful
Republicans don't just say that Government doesn't work, they get elected and prove it!
If this happens in DC they would jump right on fixtures with no delay
way to go DION!
line up the portapotties,,
when they don't keep up on the infrastructure…neglect is why this happened…so sad.
Remember 1492 ?..
God Bless the Salvation Army doing the Lord's work, that our politicians obviously are not able or caring enough to do!
If every American donate 2 dollar -10 dollar (not exactly everyone but can say 70% )
Problem solved , if not then do it one more time 👍🙏
The democrat mayor said he was going to create the most radical city in america. No water is pretty radical. Good job.

Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water, so stop playing with your thumbs , and creat plants on large enough scales that we can pump from the ocean which not only slows down the global water level rising, but pump the ocean water through a solar / wind / or ideally hydroelectric plants / pipes that slowly freeze the water while collecting the fresh water and harvesting the salt, then refill all earth's water shortages, rivers dambs etc , if this doesn't Happen as it's so simple assuming the rite minds and funding get behind it, then it's clear the war machine is waiting and hoping for everything to turn to hell, be ashamed if you are in any way involved with making money through war , as you'll be part of the reason the earth as we know it self destructs
Elon Musk, I'm very disappointed that there is a seemingly very simple solution which saves the world from devastation, and you haven't got anything in the works. U used to be a hero to me
oh, it only took until the 2 minute mark for them to play the race card. Their water suffers from systemic racism. Who knew….
THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
1 Corinthians 15:3-4 KJV
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
ABC's OF SALVATION
ADMIT
Admit to God that you are a sinner. Repent and turn away from your sin.
Romans 3:23 – "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Romans 6:23 – "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
BELIEVE
Believe that Jesus is God's Son and that God sent Jesus to save you from your sins.
John 3:16 – "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
CONFESS
Confess Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
Romans 10:9-10 – “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
How about all that money the democrats are giving Ukrain.
Wouldn't that money be better used to take care of Americans??
Just sayin
1 water per car that’s going to do nothing for a family what about bathing cooking etc wow
My tap water is not drinkable.I go to work and buy bottled water.
It's a different time of year. You need to set goals and take bold steps to achieve them. Remember that success does not happen overnight. You just have to stop procrastinate and try what you have always wanted, improve your life and well-being, investment property will take you to your dreams.
That's what happens when you nominate Republicans. I guess people forget about Flint
Your weak . Your men are weak . That's the problem. Weakness
this is what you get when republicans withhold funding to certain cities (ran by democrats)
has anyone ever noticed that with right wingers its ALWAYS "we must stop the democrats" and never "let try to work together"
this is 100% a racist republican governor failing to do his job because of his racist and political aggression towards demographics he doesnt like.
Living in Asia; China then Laos – we haven't had tap drinking water for 12 years and it's all good and the normal.
This is what happens when you elect the wrong mayor and representatives of the city who then hires some family member or close friend to do a job they are not qualified to do. So now you are left with no water and soon no trash pickup cause the elected people screwed that one up as well. Oh and in closing here – The mayor, elected officials and people over the waterboard knew this was a problem for MANY months and wait for a disaster to claim this on the flood so they look good.
They can send billions to Ukraine, but can’t fix anything here. Hopefully Biden sends Mississippi the billions of dollars they need…a joke
All of you in these comments, get ready for what’s to come for the fall of the United States Empire. This news report is just showing us what’s coming. It may not be soon, but it will be soon.
Meanwhile the rest of the US will start paying $4.00 for a bottle of water in a 16 oz bottle.
Just like Michigan" This was done deliberately, in black communities!!! Systemic racist infrastructure plan to get money….
Why do dems have to mention the race of people, the elephants focus on all the people. Just sayin'… GOD HELP AMERICA.
Vote Democrat it's because the Republicans are running them States they don't have a clue trying to take your votes away suppressing everybody vote Democrat
The south sucks we in Minnesota are the BEST. NO COAST. MN ONLY.
