How is this not widespread news yet?
To y’all joking itt about this:
Imagine waking up and being informed that you cannot use any water from any faucet or pipe. In a city with a population of 180k people.
You can blame a s*** government and s*** politicians, but don’t blame the people who just try to make it day to day.
What would your thought process be if this happened to you? Probably “how am I going to take care of my family and how will we survive?”
It’s crazy to think how normal everything is right now. Once power grids start getting hacked across the country it’s gonna be a wrap
All .com domains and power grids will go down at some point in the next 2-3 years. Water shortages were seeing Jackson will be all over.
During a Tuesday press conference, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said that the city is thrilled to be getting support from the state after battling "the Jackson water crisis" alone for the past two years. He said it had been a matter of when the system would fail — not if.
Lumumba expressed frustration that there was no previous long-term commitment from officials to replace or upgrade Jackson's water system. He estimated that it would take about $1 billion to fully improve the system.
only a matter of time before heads start rolling bro.
These government officials can't keep playing with the people like this.

My heart goes out to people impacted by this. Imagine a new parent who doesn’t know how they’re gonna get their newborn clean water. America is failing its people
The south has some of the most corrupt state/local govts ever
Infrastructure is rotting
and the most flagrant voter suppression laws too.
Just in case niggas in their high horses wanna blame the people for voting these corrupt officials

no relation to Patrice
but apparently this man's father (Chokwe Lumumba) changed his name after joining the Republic of New Afrika
Wild that this is happening in the richest country on earth, it's not a matter of capacity, just priorities. America has long passed that spiritual death MLK said it was approaching
