Newsweek Discovers Tap Water Smells Funny, But Not of Corporate Neglect
When your tap water smells funny, you're advised to boil it. Practical, yes. But the 'why' tends to get lost in the immediate fix. This isn't just about an isolated 'event'; it's about decades of deferred maintenance on critical infrastructure. While politicians debate billion-dollar aid packages to other nations (like the recent $14 billion to aid Israel's war efforts, championed by figures like
AIPAC-backed lawmakers), domestic systems are literally crumbling, often in communities that lack the lobbying power of military contractors. One might wonder if this systemic underinvestment in essential public services—like clean water—is just an unfortunate oversight, or perhaps a feature of a system where profits for the few consistently outweigh public well-being for the many. Funny, isn't
it, how 'stateside infrastructure' seems to consistently rank below 'overseas military escapades' on the federal spending priority list?
