The State of Michigan pays 600 million dollar tribute

 I continue following the Flint water contamination scandal and see that the State of Michigan will have to pay 600 million dollars to Flint water consumers.  The astonishing fact is that it was a crisis in which no one died of lead poisoning, nor any physical or mental damage was ever demonstrated. The children of Flint are no more mentally retarded than comparable AfroAmerican children of say, Detroit.  A similar fright of lead poisoning in Hong Kong was dismissed by the judge - in China one has to demonstrate the damage. The Flint case is a monstrous case of misjustice, where a fanatic, violent, ignorant but voting minority extorts from the majority compensation for fraudulent damage. Of course, Governor Snyder did NOT poison anyone as the pic says, but America is a democracy, so anyone can accuse and convict anyone. In former times. Snyder would have had to drink hemlock like Socrates. 

MI, the state agreed to pay $600 million to compensate consumers. Now, it appears that cost is rising as a court case progresses, and Michigan will have to be creative in how it comes up with the funds to settle it.

“A landmark settlement in the Flint water crisis came a step closer to reality … when attorneys in the class-action lawsuit presented the agreement to a federal court with an additional $41.2 million,” according to a recent report from The Detroit News. “The $641.25 million settlement, if approved by the court, would largely go to victims of the water crisis that emerged after Flint residents learned their drinking water had been contaminated with lead after a source switch to river water in 2014.”

Flint residents would be eligible for some of the compensation if they received a water bill or had to pay a bill from the local utility in a given timeframe, ingested or came into contact with local drinking water for at least 21 out of 30 days of an “Exposure Period,” or were exposed to water from the treatment plant and subsequently diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease in a given timeframe.

The Flint Crisis provides material for meditation. 

(1) The imaginary lead poisoning has been definitely linked to the Legionella contamination, which was real. The local hospital's water system was poorly maintained and colonized by the pathogen. Ten or so elderly patients died. Nothing to do with lead poisoning, but now it has been totally confused and Legionella victims are counted with the nonexistent lead victims. An evil lawyer succeeded in mixing up the two issues.

(2)  Michigan tax payers, hard working Northern European folks, will pay the "compensation" to Flint Africans. In other words, the politically powerful Black community has imposed a 600 million dollar tribute on the State of Michigan. I dare to say it is a war tribute, imposed by violence and fear of violence (which is the same thing).

(3)  What is the background of the Black's war against the Whites? Say I am a Black American teenager. Whites are inferior to us Blacks in everything: We are taller, more muscular, more masculine, more sexy, live longer. We can run, jump, sing, dance and tell jokes better than they do. Why, then, they get all the goodies and the nice girls? It is obvious, they got magic. And they have thrown bad magic on me and my folk. Magic sounds primitive, so call it "systemic racism". What is systemic? It is something that you cannot see,  like magic. It is because that magic that they pass exams, although they are weak and soft, they get the good jobs, surf through life with such unbearable ease. Think a second about the injustice of it all and you feel the impulse to burn down the town.
