11. Water coolers next to drinking fountains spewing brown sludge may be a sign.

We're learning that Michigan's government acts Nixonian: When the State does it, it's not illegal:

Snyder admin trucked clean water into Flint state buildings in Jan 2015

We don't think anything could surprise us at this point.

New emails from the Department of Technology, Management and Budget (DTMB) show that the Snyder administration secretly trucked clean water to Flint's state house in January 2015, nearly nine months before Gov. Snyder publicly acknowledged the elevated lead levels in Flint's drinking water, and nearly a year to the day before Snyder declared Genesee County, home to Flint, a state of emergency.

The docs, obtained by Progress Michigan, show the January 7, 2015 announcement that water coolers would be delivered to each floor of Flint's state house. The facility notification explains that the water coolers would be placed next to water fountains so that government employees "can choose which water to drink."

Okay. So let's get this straight: state employees are given clean water and Flint citizens are told to "relax." Lovely.

The thing is, like all in politics these days, those who actually pay for politicians such as Rick Snyer -- the politically active DeVos and Koch families and the richierich outta the Mackinac Policy Conference -- play giant and unacknowledged roles in driving decisions, like emergency managers for Flint and Detroit, and the resulting rush to privatize services, such as water.

I'd call that a conspiracy, seeing how what they do is subvert democracy, as well as hurt human life.
