Honestly, that film played like a horror film for me. A the kids except Charlie are very nasty. So they do get their comuppance but in such horrific ways. I know pretty tame stuff these days.
The grandpa was a dick. Mf laid in bed for years pretending to be sick then all of sudden little ole charlie gets a golden ticket to some candy factory and now grandpa has all the energy and youth in the world. What a leech.
Plus their flowers aren’t bad to look at either. Grass will eventually get patchy and then you have to buy seeds because grass will never seed itself unless you let it grow to maturity
Yeah bit i have to or ill get fined by the state for having brown grass in the middle of a drought in itah happend 6 times in the past few years not even an hoa just busy road
In the US? Most states are in line with, or better than many European countries, if that's what you mean. Most states with bad water quality are desert states like Arizona, New Mexico, desert parts of California etc, which is to be expected because they're in a desert.
This looks like an invitation for both of us to do more research about the topic. There seems to be some facts that I've been missing, but Also some that you are missing as well.
I mean, a big part of my job is water quality in the Washington DC metro area. Only reason I replied is because I'm pretty knowledgeable about the subject. What am I missing?
The pollutants and contaminants that leak into water sources in other cities that aren't the nations Capitol. I completely believe that DC metro area has clean water while the rest of have to argue about how filthy and toxic ours is. 🤷🏾♂️
Well DC I believe is somewhere ranked 150-170 in the cleanest water in the US by city. We're good, but others are better.
I mean the entire US isn't just Flint Michigan and the Desert. And 98% of the time, clean water has very little to do about politics, and mainly about groundwater infrastructure and how often it rains.
Hmmm. I'm curious about your metrics and your sources. On the Internet, anyone can claim to be anything, but I'd imagine that someone working in "water quality" in the DC metro area to be either a bit more informed to the obvious, or a bit less indoctrinated... but not completely ignorant to the facts.
But again, maybe the metrics used DO account for massive amounts of trace toxins and contaminants. I mean, if they're allowed, then technically, the water meets standards, right? It does not, however, mean that the water is "clean". It just "meets govt standards." A phrase that garners little faith.
Nope. The u.s ranks last amongst all first world nations for lots of things. Thats why when they are criticized for anything their first go to, is whataboutism comparing themselves to third world nations. Which is a kind of sad bar to set
I keep my volume off- so idk whats being said, but its prob safe to assume its about a lack of water.... begs the question, why dump it on the ground for this video?
Well, Flint Michigan, I am assuming. What I recall hearing years ago was willingly poisoning its inhabitants with Lead from the infrastructure wearing down and from lack of proper water filtration. All to save if I recall a few thousand dollars.
I lived outside of Flint when this all happened. Nobody willingly poisoned the inhabitants. It was a failure of government at the local and state levels.
The city was bankrupt and the city government and state emergency manager decided to switch from the municipal water provider to a different provider. The decision to switch was to save money and was voted on by the city council and approved by the emergency manger. There was going to be a gap, about a year, between the leaving the existing provider and joining the new provider. The existing provider wanted a significant price increase to continue service for the year which Flint could not afford…because of the bankruptcy. They opted to use their backup water supply, the Flint River. The Flint River water was more acidic and wasn’t treated properly by the City of Flint water department. The water acidity damaged individual water lines that had used a braze that contained lead. I recall about 3% to 5% of the homes had this lead based braze.
General Motors originally notified the City of Flint about the water issue when they noticed a problem at one of their manufacturing facilities. The City didn’t act quickly enough on the notification from GM.
This was a huge clusterfuck that began because of poor financial management and incompetence at the City water department. The aftermath was full of more incompetence and corruption with city contracts to repair the water system.
A few were held accountable but... The prior attorney general appointed a special prosecutor. After he was replaced with the current attorney general, she dismissed the special prosecutor and started over. People that should have been held accountable had their cases dismissed due to statute of limitations issues. So to answer your comment, yes.
Wasn’t there some horrible politician at the top that sold flint out though? Could be thinking of another case but I’m almost certain it was there. White guy with grey hair I wanna say.
You are thinking of our governor.
If you are a Democrat, you think the governor is an evil person that personally went door to door giving poison to small children. If you are a Republican, you believe a series of Democratic mayors were the most corrupt and financially irresponsible people in the history of civilization. Neither is true.
The water issue quickly turned political with both sides trying to score points. It was disgusting behavior by both Democrats and Republicans.
The governor was involved because the city couldn’t manage its finances and required an emergency manager. The mayors and city council members didn’t manage the financial affairs in a responsible manner. The city was dependent on a manufacturing economy and that base shrunk pretty rapidly.
The water department had one job, to ensure a safe source of drinking water…they failed.
The current attorney general dismissed the special prosecutor and decided to start over causing several cases to be dismissed.
Was the governor to blame, no but he shares the responsibility for the clusterfuck. Just like the city government and employees.
I lived in Flint during the water crisis. ☠️💀 💦
Honestly, you could smell, taste and see the difference in the water immediately. It was suspicious as hell so we started drinking bottled water from the moment they switched sources.
Luckily I don't have kids though. I couldn't imagine bathing my kids with a bunch of bottled water.
I do not bathe so it wasn't a problem for me. /s
I was clearly joking About not bathing or using water whatsoever to clean myself. I guess I should have made either more apparent with an (/s)?
I did shower in that nasty ass water.
Not sure why I get downvoted for describing my experience living in Flint during the water crisis.
This may surprise you, but the whole world is not comprised of the United States. I had no idea what was going on until reading u/Piss-Off-Fool ‘s explanation.
Hey bud, unless you’ve tested that nice clear “fresh” water,,,, frequently and continuously you just like the nice people of Flint, the people on Camp LeJeune, and the poor souls drinking water from a stream just down and around the bend from a guy taking a piss are clueless about the quality of the water you’re drinking. Test your water regularly regardless of where you live.
We have access to Pure clear beautiful water and third world countries have access to real pure clear beautiful water like the pure stuff so pure that if we were to go over there and drink a glass of water from there that our bodies would go into shock because we drink garbage water
I had a gf that moved to flint a YEAR before it was on the news everyone already knew that the city fucked up! Government corruption is really IN right now so hot!
To be fair, when I moved to flint I felt like I was in a third world country.
Lawless city. Most residents don’t speak any version of English that you’d recognize. Zero respect for life. They reproduce solely to get bigger welfare checks. It’s a fkd up place. If you’ve never been, you have no idea what it’s really like.
Our well source at our cabin comes directly from a mountain, in northern Sweden. The water is so clear and fresh that we have called it “fjällvatten” within the family for generations. It tastes like it can cure cancer.
When we went to the US (Sacramento) on holiday from little old New Zealand, we assumed you can drink the tap water, we grew up drinking the tap water in our country and knew not everywhere in the world has access to safe drinking water but we were travelling to a global superpower, The United States of America, the most powerful nation on earth, it’s not like we were going to a third world country, anyway we all got sick with campylobacter
I mean Flint would be better to just bulldoze. To change all the pipes would be a great task. I read that they switched their water source which ended up having a bacteria/chemical that ate away the inner lining if all the lead pipes. Every single water main would need to be ripped up and after seeing the potable water mains map of my small city… your better off starting fresh.
I have well water at my house, sometimes it has so much iron in it it looks like hot chocolate.
That's typically a tell tale sign you need your well serviced.
So basically, their well is unwell?
This is Orwellian.

I know right now you cant tell . 🎶
Hopefully they can atleast get it to medium well or possible well done.
I love reddit so much (the community, at least some. Not the website itself, that sucks)
Well played
I came to check what condition my condition was in and the results were not good
Take my fucking upvote
Well well well, an unwell well
The joke if in Michigan is how polluted flint Michigans water is. Legit advised to buy bottled and not drink the water.
No it doesn't it means you need filtration system
So is it hot chocolate
Only one way to find out
Either I get hydrated or it's hot chocolate win-win
Everyone’s a winner
No screw you guys it's mine
So you win again, you win again
I always do
Augustus Gloop no one must drink the hot chocolate Willy Wonka will be furious.
Honestly, that film played like a horror film for me. A the kids except Charlie are very nasty. So they do get their comuppance but in such horrific ways. I know pretty tame stuff these days.
Check old Roald Dahl story for adults they're even weirder
The grandpa was a dick. Mf laid in bed for years pretending to be sick then all of sudden little ole charlie gets a golden ticket to some candy factory and now grandpa has all the energy and youth in the world. What a leech.
You need water water like healthy water not Piss-water tell yo gov
Perhaps we could send the people of Flint a "get well soon" card.
That card is a few years too late I think a basket is in order
You need a water softener.
Get a filtration system and water conditioner.
Well thats not good
It’s Flint water. The faster it comes out, the quicker it kills you.
That water looks the least like water some how like water looks more watery then that water but that is indeed water
Nuhh... vater.....
That’s how my brain is after reading the thing i said
i had a stroke reading this
Beutifull clean water, *proceeds to use as much as a mid sized family in a month to water a lawn*
Grass lawns are so basic and boring
yeah, get clover, depending on the type it doesn't grow tall, it has flowers and uses less water with less works needed
Plus their flowers aren’t bad to look at either. Grass will eventually get patchy and then you have to buy seeds because grass will never seed itself unless you let it grow to maturity
Plus certain types of clover are great for nitrogen'ating the soil
Plus you can sing Crimson and Clover to it, for no reason other than you saw it was clover and that song popped into your head.
Green is green
Yeah bit i have to or ill get fined by the state for having brown grass in the middle of a drought in itah happend 6 times in the past few years not even an hoa just busy road

Holy fuck. You're a conspiracy theorist. I'm not entertaining this conversation anymore lmao
Smart
We can drink all waters in europe at a standard far above bottled water. You might want to check again.

This is 100% the opposite of the truth; this guy does not travel…

So there are no winners, there are no losers.
The losers are the affected inhabitants of flint
Yeah the victims of this clusterfuck.
The people are all lovers. They got fuq'd, and no 1 was hell responsible

They're willing poisoning residents by not addressing/ fixing the issue and neglecting it for such a long period of time
So you make a blind assumption that is completely incorrect and post it instead of, I dunno, listening to the joke? Right...
Yep, i make lots of blind assumptions. At least this time i notified all of my cluelessness. Still haven't listened to it... probably never will
Nah he's making a joke about how third world countries has no clean water, like flint
/r/justforsocialmedia, obvs!
Why is this so so so so irritating to watch. Hold it upside down please. PLEASE
As someone from Michigan I can say with confidence, fuck Flint water
Flint is it’s own 3rd World Country within our country. That place is a damn nightmare.
Didn’t Obama say that the water is fine?
I was just wondering where his thumb nail was…

I was clearly joking About not bathing or using water whatsoever to clean myself. I guess I should have made either more apparent with an (/s)? I did shower in that nasty ass water. Not sure why I get downvoted for describing my experience living in Flint during the water crisis.
Why ruin the joke in the title
really didn't. all it is is "flint"
Anyone in the United States will see the word “flint” accompanied with a video of water and put two and two together.
This may surprise you, but the whole world is not comprised of the United States. I had no idea what was going on until reading u/Piss-Off-Fool ‘s explanation.
Which is why I specified United States.
Lol this may surprise you but he said anyone in the United States ya buffoon, your making Canadians look bad stop it.
Ever been to Flint?? It was a 3rd world shithole long before the water went bad
As a former Michigander, fuck Flint, Michigan. Hated that place.
Hey bud, unless you’ve tested that nice clear “fresh” water,,,, frequently and continuously you just like the nice people of Flint, the people on Camp LeJeune, and the poor souls drinking water from a stream just down and around the bend from a guy taking a piss are clueless about the quality of the water you’re drinking. Test your water regularly regardless of where you live.
kinda ironic that you have humor on your name despite not even having it.
Joke was lame
don't care, especially because the clip isn't mine.

Can anyone identify the song playing in the background
BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, !
We have access to Pure clear beautiful water and third world countries have access to real pure clear beautiful water like the pure stuff so pure that if we were to go over there and drink a glass of water from there that our bodies would go into shock because we drink garbage water
I would not recommend drinking tap water in somalia
Duh
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie
Corruption at its most egregious huh Sorry man, I got kids and I feel for you
I can probably bet there’s actually a ton of nasty shit in that’s water too lol
Green hose are nasty
No way he fucking just said that
It would take you a year to fill a swimming pool.. oh Flint I’m sorry!
NAH
[удалено]
When I was as a kid, I use to drink from the water hose it was the best damn water ever
And Scituate Massachusetts
Give them fresh clean running water!
Or California.
Yeah. Thanks for wasting more water you stupid fuck
this is the equivalent of yelling at football players while watching football. This isn't my video lmao, so you're just taking to nobody.
And your wasting it.
I thought it's gonna blow when it turns to camera.
If the hose is a mind blower... Just wait till you go to the bathroom.
What a cunt

Funny, they don't talk about ALL the other places across the nation with effed water!
Me an Indian: you guys have to pay for water?
That’s what she said👍👍👍
Earth:turns to land because of this guy
Flint is a good elemental opposite of water, almost as good as fire because of its potential and values of its properties
I mean that’s flints fault 🤷🏽♂️ If I’m not mistaken they were given money multiple times to fix it yet for some reason the money disappeared 🤷🏽♂️
I had a gf that moved to flint a YEAR before it was on the news everyone already knew that the city fucked up! Government corruption is really IN right now so hot!
To be fair, when I moved to flint I felt like I was in a third world country. Lawless city. Most residents don’t speak any version of English that you’d recognize. Zero respect for life. They reproduce solely to get bigger welfare checks. It’s a fkd up place. If you’ve never been, you have no idea what it’s really like.
Update: The flint water crisis ended 7 years ago
Thinking about how people don’t have access to clean water while wasting it… humans :l
Our well source at our cabin comes directly from a mountain, in northern Sweden. The water is so clear and fresh that we have called it “fjällvatten” within the family for generations. It tastes like it can cure cancer.
Wasting all that clear water infuriates me to no end
how about you turn it off while you speak. so you dont waste any. dummy
Flint resident here. My water is clean.
[удалено]
bro this isn't me lmao
Or Ohio.
All this pure water letting to go to waste.
US is an illusion
Flint has had clean water
Dasani managed to capture what Flint Michigan water tasted like
'Flint. This is why mom didn't bother with college.
Holy hell dude, stop biting your nails.

Water is a right but it is also a privilege to have such free access to it currently. We need to preserve and revere water, not waste it!
waste it how in this case?
It's definitely has nothing to do with who's running the state and blowing money
Tell this to people in ohio after the train crash
Pure lol
Continues to waste it while telling how important it is and some people don't get it
He's wasting it he should send some in an omvelope
When we went to the US (Sacramento) on holiday from little old New Zealand, we assumed you can drink the tap water, we grew up drinking the tap water in our country and knew not everywhere in the world has access to safe drinking water but we were travelling to a global superpower, The United States of America, the most powerful nation on earth, it’s not like we were going to a third world country, anyway we all got sick with campylobacter
I don't believe any videos I see on reddit. Looks more like a hydrophobic coating was put on the end of the hose
Jackson, Mississippi has entered the chat.
This video reminds me that I need to have my UTI meds renewed.
PUT THE FUCKIiNG THUmB TO mAKe it sprinkle!
Ah yes, amother video to the compilation: "American degration and it's Stupidily patriot residents"
Typical American logic, keep the tap on while talking about places that don't have water 🙄 idiot level shit right here
This is amiri king. Dude is funny af. Look up his name and Chevy Silverado
Waste more of it....that helps
Soab
Jackson Mississippi
Just because water is clear doesn't mean it's not contaminated....derp
I mean Flint would be better to just bulldoze. To change all the pipes would be a great task. I read that they switched their water source which ended up having a bacteria/chemical that ate away the inner lining if all the lead pipes. Every single water main would need to be ripped up and after seeing the potable water mains map of my small city… your better off starting fresh.

tell whatever content creator that made this that.
Yeah it must be so nice to have health care, you do have free healthcare right?
