Food, clothing, shelter, water are no concern to the RULERS of America. Killing people REALLY is what matters. Americans = SLAVES. . |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 55450469 United States 03/23/2014 11:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It will start in Detroit and everyone on here will just laugh at them and talk about how shitty the place is but soon it will happen all over the country. People have moved away from Water Wells that our Grandparents had for the convenience of city water. Now they control the most valuable substance our bodies need. When the water is cut off people will stop making jokes about cutting off someones water. Breath deep because they also control what is in the Air. I pray the people in Detroit can find clean water for their families. If one group suffers we all suffer. Look around the planet and then realize it effects everyone. Peace |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 13638853 United States 03/23/2014 11:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | That new contracted company in charge of going door to door to isolate and lock out each water meter requires you to go inside each dwelling to the basement or crawlspace to remove the meter and cap the flange. Or turn the brass body valve off and lock it ... Do ya think them nitters are gonna let you in to do that when they know you're there to turn off that free water ? gonna get ugly ... |

What do you think if a dozen of them wind up dead with the promises of more to come--will they keep the water on then? Quoting: ~sIcKaNdTwIsTeD~ problem isn't with the worker. The problem is with high priced drones that set policy and manage. It is their ineptness that makes basically free water cost $75. Distribution is just a bunch of pipes and $75 is just for your house. You buy that network over and over and over. Everything is a profit center. The sale price of this essential is what they can get. Not cost plus a reasonable markup. In Japan the salary spread between the manager and the janitor is 5:1, in the US it can be 5000:1 In America they rely on your ignorance to keep you from hanging them from the lamp posts. Government is a body largely ungoverned. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52557357 EVERYONE has the RIGHT to water! Who told you that lie? You seem to believe that the existing systems are the ONLY way that things could ever be structured. Brainwashing REALLY does work. Who pays to drive down any road in America? Could the system be set up that you have to pay a toll on EVERY road? Sure it could, but that is not how things are set up. Could the sytem be set up for everyone to have "FREE" water by collecting the costs in some other way? SURE it could. Poor thinking gets poor results. Who taught you to think so poorly? How are YOU served by thinking poorly? Who wins when you think poorly? IT'S NOT YOU!!! . |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52557357 EVERYONE has the RIGHT to water! Nothing is free. It costs money to maintain and repair the water system. If we paid $1000 a year on a household well(12 x 75 = 900) that would be 5 times what it costs and water utilities have economy of scale. Your buggered arse bleed much? Ever look at electric utility costs? THey hose you too. Utility commission is supposed to keep the bulldogs on a leash but in truth it is a sham. Amerika has become the home of every unclean bird.
