Moving story. It portrays one of many ways in which innocent people get destroyed by heartless corporations or political authorities. One can't help but hammering the same question over and over again, when it comes to politics (and I guess that pretty much applies to most things in life), why is it so hard to do the right thing?
Unfortunately, the political process makes doing the right thing, virtually impossible, by its very nature. At least when you or I do something wrong, we are usually held accountable for our actions.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
What's the way to hold someone accountable for negligently and knowingly killing 10% of an entire city?
Well, to be fair, only 10% of the people who actually get the disease die from it. 10% of Flint's population didn't die from it.
But to answer your question, someone is the distinct word there. Currently we have corporations that are backed and covered by government. Then we have government itself. No individual/someone. No accountability, because there can't be any when you can have hundreds of people all pointing their fingers at everyone else.
If I (personally) owned a company that willingly killed a lot of people, you can be rest assured I (personally) would be held responsible.
