Michael Moore exposes the horrifying truth about Flint

On Thursday, the director penned a blistering statement outlining the futility of bottled water as a solution in Flint: “You would have to send 200 bottles a day, per person, to cover what the average American (we are Americans in Flint) needs each day. That’s 102,000 citizens times 200 bottles of water — which equals 20.4 million 16oz. bottles of water per day, every day, for the next year or two until this problem is fixed.” Instead, he offered a number of concrete solutions to stem the damage and bring comfort to the afflicted.

The powerful arc lamps of a moonlight tower shine down on a snow-covered Detroit street in this c. 1910 photo. 122 of these 150-foot tall structures dotted the city around the turn of the century. As the first skyscrapers began to appear in the city, and incandescent light bulbs became more ubiquitous, the difficult-to-maintain towers were replaced with street lights. Some of Detroit’s towers were sold to Austin, Texas where they still stand, and have been since recognized as historic landmarks.
