This Quote From Rick Snyder’s Emails Says Everything You Need To Know About Flint’s Water Crisis

[Purveyor]

ile attorneys have subpoenaed all emails and communications between Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) over the ongoing Flint water crisis, a few details have been released showing what can only be described as depraved indifference on the part of state workers to the plight of Flint citizens.

The Republican governor released some staff emails on Jan. 20, showing that he was well aware that Flint citizens were slowly being poisoned following a decision by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to force them to live with lead-tainted water.

Those emails, however, were heavily redacted, including one dated over two years ago — on January 3, 2014 — that was completely blacked out by the governor’s advisers over both pages.

Out of over 270 pages of communications released, one comment was stunning in its admission of how shabbily complaints over the water were treated by state workers.

According to the NY Times, Snyder was informed in one email that a state nurse told one young mother to not worry about the damage being done to her child when her son’s blood showed an elevated lead level.

“It is just a few IQ points. … It is not the end of the world,” the nurse reportedly told the worried mom.

According to whistle-blower Dr. Mona Hanna-Attisha, “If you were going to put something in a population to keep them down for generations to come — it would be lead.”

3. Disaster capitalism is literally lethal.

Michigan is yet another experimental lab for the fondest wishes of America's worst business class fascists.

Suspending democracy in order to poison children and pocket the cash they saved doing it is EXACTLY the idea.

not a bug or an unintended consequence.

4. Rick Snyder = worst governor ever!!!

No one comes close to having the disaster in their state as what is happening with Flint. The people of Flint deserve better and Rick Snyder should be thrown in Supermax.

And everyone responsible for it should be in prison for the rest of their lives making big rocks into very tiny ones.
