The Flint water crisis is real -- and arguably much more of a crisis than the other 100 'lead in water' problems around the country.

I've also been of the opinion that the whole 'income inequality' political war being fought by Sanders, Warren, et. al. is the proximate cause of Donald Trump. When a political party creates buzz-word populism, the unintended consequences are great. President Trump because the left found a Pikety-book of absurd conclusions that they thought supported their party.
