50 years of poor management and maintenance. Pointing blame at racism, Fed gov't, climate, etc.
Thanks for voting republicans who wants government hands off. They also don’t want to spend money on useless maintenance and improvement technology to upgrade the water treatment system. All these nice things republicans espouse for decades are finally coming to fruition. Every Republican voted against Biden’s plan to give states money to improve their infrastructure and systems. They said it was a waste of taxpayers money which would be better use to fund the many wars the USA was involved in. When Biden’s bill pass, all the republicans quickly jumped up and down trying to take credit for the money. You vote for conman and losers, you pay the price. Hopefully you get used to mud water. Hahahahahhah.
Mississippi is always the backwater of America. Don’t waste your time going there. Absolutely nothing to see but mutants and simpletons who can be easily manipulated.
I knew they would sneak in racism in there somewhere..heheheh
where u at biden
You guys should vote your mayor out of office as he is responsible for overseeing the water treatment facility.
I cannot believe that in the richest most country on the planet there is no water in the STATE CAPITAL of Mississippi !!! But the government will spend 93 BILLION DOLLARS to send a rocket to go around the moon and back !!! Seems they could reroute 1 billion dollars of that money to people in Jackson , Mississippi so they could have reliable clean water !!!! ?🤔🙄 by the way 93 billion $ is 9300 million $ when you think about it in those terms it sinks in how much money it really is !!! Enough to build every homeless person in this country a small home and make sure they had enough to eat for good while !!! 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The school systems are great… just the value in the state after being used up by new youth counselor now and housing authority… the state doesn't care about good people but social media income
God will reward you Dr Godfatherspellcaster on YouTube for bringing back the love of my life, your love spell really work on my boyfriend
YOU MAY LIKE TO NOW BY OPENING YOUR FREEZER AD MABEY PUTTING A FAN ON IT YOU CAN MAKE ICE IN YOUR FREEZER THIS IS WATER I HOPE THIS HELPS
People take clean water for granted. Clean water is very precious. Water is more valuable than diamonds, gold, silver, platinum, Jade, rubies, and all jewelry and money. We think dirt have no value but in reality dirt is very valuable. Clean alkaline water is the most valuable think on earth.
we knew at first glance we were going to hit racial equity gold on this video right? So when you see every professional in that video was black are they blaming that for the problem I'm confused? Do we need to get affirmative action privilege for whites now just so cities don't implode left to anyone else? Our leaders have purposely ran this circus straight into the ground after disbursed clowns willing to sell their soul for a very temporary pat on the back. it don't look behind the curtain
So much for BWM " Black Water Matters "
Why if money is being to fix the pump problem infrastructure money to a state that allows county why isn't there a federal agent asserted to the money to make sure the money goes where is supposed to why you see you have a Republican internal racist wound that is spreading and it's about 15 states that has bought in on this type of procedure or tactic the Vladimir Putin playbook illustrated and signed by Donald Trump to destroy by enemy meaning necessary of a democratic area so no water no votes Republicans are win every time but in somewhere along these lines this is illegal to do or to be a white genocide of governor you are exempt from any law breaking
One thing for certain you won't have to worry about the black people in Jackson Mississippi meeting at the voting pole because they won't even have drinking water so as it goes when you don't vote Republican take your vote on anyway just to know you voted for him and their genocide or tactics
That's America: when Whites with all the wealth "flee", Black/brown/poor people are left in shambles. Why is only a certain group in America gets most if not all the wealth?
You blame your cities problems on race? This city has been ran by black liberals for decades the problem is you people!
But Ukraine needs billions of our $

At least Shaoqi La Mumba is not blaming the problem on outsiders.
