"'Chicago's drinking water is full of lead,' report says.
That seems like a big deal to me … should be a national news story, should get probably more coverage than Stormy Daniels, but don't hold your ... breath. They say, 'Toxic lead has been seeping into Chicago's drinking water, and the city is dragging its feet to fix the problem, according to an analysis published Thursday by the Chicago Tribune.
Lead was found in 70 percent of the 2,797 homes the Tribune sampled across the city since January of 2016. And three in 10 of those had lead concentrations higher than 5 parts per billion (ppb), the Food and Drug Administration's upper limit for lead in bottled water.
Since the lead crisis in Flint, Michigan, Chicago has distributed thousands of free lead-testing kits to its residents in an attempt to figure out how bad the problem was. But once the results started coming in, the city buried them: Chicago hadn't updated the city-run website tracking the results of its own tests in more than six months—until the Tribune started asking questions.'
So lead contaminated water, which is incredibly dangerous, and the city tries to cover it up. Can't imagine a bigger story in a sane world that cares about human beings. … It's amazing to me that our leaders have the nerve to try to tell us we have to go into Damascus, we have to go into Syria, to bomb to save lives. So kill people to save people, weird already. … They can't even save children in Flint, Michigan, and they're talking about saving kids in Fallujah and saving kids in Kandahar and saving kids in Damascus, perhaps they don't really care about savings kids. Just a thought, which is of course the case, as we all know.
Our country is falling apart, and we're worried about intervening elsewhere. … How about you rebuild here? I don't know if you're seen the blight in Detroit … it's an apocalyptic scenario over there. All these jobs that were outsourced, the infrastructure crumbles, most people move out, and there's rank poverty everywhere you look. … in Chicago, their drinking water is contaminated. By the way, you give a developing kid lead, the consequences are beyond terrible. They don't develop properly.
They had to take the lead out of gasoline because of countless studies that showed that crime rates spiked where there's leaded gasoline in the atmosphere. … It poisons you, it literally makes people violent.
And we're talking about contaminated water in Chicago, barely anybody covers it, and then the state buries it. … Flint, Michigan doesn't have clean water … 70% of Chicago, no clean water. We have a country that gets a grade of D+ when you look at the Society of Civil Engineer's Report on our infrastructure. … I don't understand why we don't try to make it #1 in the world. We should have the #1 infrastructure in the world, that's the envy of the world. … It's embarrassing the way it is now. How many people don't have jobs? How many people aren't making a living wage? … Rebuild the entire country. Rebuild these pipes. This is totally necessary. … Not only are we not fixing it, they're burying the problem in the first place. There's lead in the water in Chicago.
I can't say enough about how this is a total system failure that got us to this point…" - The Kyle Kulinski Show
