IF YOU EVER GOT A FOOD STAMP OR ATE OFF ONE, DONT TELL ME PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE PAID THEIR WATER BILL!
If you ever got a grant, lived with your parents on section 8, or grew up in low income housing
DONT TELL ME THEY SHOULD PAY THEIR WATER BILL!
If you ever ate a free lunch in school, got a car for the fact of bridge card, a voucher...or a SRE,,,,,,Dental work or glasses
Because of your income, got a good fella box, Adopt a Child x-mas gifts growing up!
IF YOU HAVE FILLED BANKRUPTCY OFF THE PEOPLE'S BACKS
IF YOU WORK FOR ANY CORPORATION THAT GET WELFARE INCLUDING GM, ANDDDDD CHYSLER WHO GET AND GOT WELFARE BY THE BILLIONS, MISS MEEE
If you were even considered for financial aid
Or had a summer job back in the day!
IF YOU GOT OR YOUR CHILD BENEFITED OFF WIC..... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
UNDERSTAND THIS.... IT WAS ALL FREE AND IN NO WAY, DO AS WATER....
STOP SAYING THEY SHOULD HAVE PAID THEIR BILL...
WE ALL CAN DIE, DO YOU UNDERSTAND WE HAVE NO HEALTH DEPARTMENT. .. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEAN........
IM NOT BEING QUARANTINED BY HOMELAND SECURITY BECAUSE MI HAS THE HIGHEST RATE FOR EBOLI AND WE HAVE NO HEALTH DEPARTMENT. ...... WHILE YOU SIT ON YOUR PORCH DRINKING THAT GLASS OF WATER, TALKING SHIT ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOR BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T PAY AND THEY SHIT OFF,,,, YOU BETTER HOPE THE WIND DONT PICK UP ANY AIR BORN ILLNESSES AND LAND ON YO FOE HEAD..... THINK PEOPLE ITS BEYOND PAYING THE BILL!

  • Roxanne Shenell Sweeney Closed minds and close hearts is exactly why this city is falling straight to hell. Why our children playing outside can cost them.their life. it's the mentality of the residents and inhabitants. This situation has shed so much light on not only the water crisis, but the murder crisis, the education crisis, the unemployment crisis. Selfish, non caring, self centered thought processes. It's people out here starving,living in abandoned houses, living without nesscity and we laugh and make jokes, until it's us or our Mother. How in the world can we teach our children to care for other and teach them dignity and integrity when we are continuously divided. One day they don't care about us, the next your blowing there horn for them. Stand up for something other than yourself. Be the first ones mad when one of these 14 year old boys are stealing your shit because they are trying to take something back to their waterless family.The same people so quick to judge and jump to conclusions, are the first ones to be upset when someone puts their business or circumstances on blast. the situation is humiliating enough without your own jumping on the bash the black trash band wagon. It's seriously deplorable and it pisses me off.

  • Tangela Harris THIS IS TRUE BUT IF YOU DONT KNOW HOW TO CHILL, IF THERE IS NO LIGHT IN YOUR VEIW, IF YOUR MOM AND GRANDMOTHER DIDN'T SHOW YOU BETTER IN SOME CASES ONLY WORSE THEN WHAT. THE LAST TWO GENERATIONS ARE FUCKED
    C' WE MADE IT BY OUR HAIRS. BUT IF YOU GREW UP HOW YOU ARE, ITS PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU GREW UP HOW THEY WERE, OUR GENERATION BARELY MADE IT WITH A NEIGHBOR WHO KNEW THE OTHER! These arent excuses, these are reasons. Some people most have been taught through media and peers that what you have is what is important, we make folks feel if they aint rockin they aint shit.... Allthese women out here choosing beauty over EVERYTHING, try to catch that guy. TRY TO CATCH LOVE..... ALL HUMANS SEARCH AND CRAVE TO THINGS..... LOVE AND HAPPINESS, ,,,, SO WHEN WE SAY ONE IS NOT PRIORITIZING. ... IN WHOS EYES, TO WHOS STANDARDS.... BECAUSE THE CIMMUNITY HOLDS NO ONE ACCOUNTABLE OR TO A STANDARD. AND SOCIETY IS TELLING OUR WOMEN "YOU GO GIRL"
    WHILE THE COMMUNITY RUN FROM THE BLACK MAN,
    AND SOCIETY SAY "YO GO BOY, DIRECTLY TO JAIL,,,,, DO NOT PASS GO, DO NOT COLLECT $200"

    • Charles Brown Yep, Individualism, the philosophy of the bourgeoisie, the reflection of bourgeois private property in the minds of the masses. The ruling ideas of all ages are the ideas of its ruling classes. Individualism , indeed, and in many forms and philosophies; self-reliance, independence, even existentialism.

    • Waymond Hicks This is becoming a TRAVESTY. Dear folks...especially you Tangela because although I've NEVER met you I can tell that you have a good heart and heartfelt intentions. But it is important to step back and understand the realities. Water IS a right. It rains freely from the sky, it flows without charge or aid from man through the rivers. BUT...when it traverses through a billion dollar infrastructure, is filtered, treated and made safe for drinking and delivered seamlessly to your tap on demand at the turn of your wrist it becomes a SERVICE. The treatment and disposal of sewage and waste, the manpower required to maintain and service these facilities is NOT free. And relative to the cost of delivering that service, even in Detroit where the rates are higher (due in large part to waste and inefficiency and neglect) the cost is STILL reasonable and reasonably affordable when compared to the rest of the world. And certainly superior. When those notices went out on severe delinquencies, nearly 60% paid up or made arrangements immediately. Churches, websites and the Water Board are working with the folks who demonstrate an inablity to pay. And we all understand there is a difference between the inability to pay and the inability to MANAGE your resources so that you CAN pay. If your cellphone bill, you hairstylist and your weekend out is coming first, then you need to pay that water bill or get your water shut off. No one is advocating and there is no profit or joy in shutting folks' water off...and doing so doesn't "profit" any evil corporate interest. The opposite of course is true...so they WANT you to use the service and PAY for it. That's all that folks making the comment mean by that. IF you can pay, then you SHOULD pay. If you cannot, you need to contact the Board and myriad of resources that have popped up to HELP you until you can.

    • Waymond Hicks Let me understand your response clearly Mr. Brown. You are saying that it is a travesty for me to suggest that those who are capable of paying and who are NOT should be allowed to continure to recieve a service and that those who cannot should be assisted in the manner the system has set up for them until they are capable of doing so. I am unaware of and have seen no documentation of folks being shut off without any notice of severe delinquency. The citizens "own" the infastructure only as long as the citizens pay to maintain and support it.

    • Charles Brown Water is a human right means that society is responsible to get adequate water to drink and wash to all members of society. If jobs are the way people get money, then society is responsible to get jobs to all, so that they can afford water. If mass unemployment is endemic and inherent in the political economy of the society, then it must pay sufficient welfare for water. Welfare can't be abolished until mass unemployment is abolished. The the world legal position as expressed in the UN charter and conventions.

    • Charles Brown Waymond Hicks first of all it is a travesty for you to claim that this is becoming a travesty referring to what we said before you started talking. You said, " But it is important to step back and understand the realities." If you want to understand the realities, read what we said above, first. We are speaking big truths, so if you are in contradiction with us, you are in big reality trouble, thinking trouble. We are correct.

    • Charles Brown By denying people water, an epidemic could be started. That is big time reality, Waymond Hicks. Really , real reality. The purpose of government in America is to protect the public health, safety and welfare. That's what the courts'opinions say. Those are the objects of the police powers. To deny large numbers of people water is to do harm to the public health and welfare. As Tangela pointed out , GM and Chrysler were bailed out for tens of billions of dollars. What those billions were used to pay for were not "free" either, just like the clean water you refer to. Yet, GM and Chrysler just got the billions . So, in a way, whatever they got _was_ free. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
