Lead bottom and water

[tw]

No it is not McHale's Navy.

Flint Michigan has lead contaminated drinking water because known contaminations were ignored at highest levels of Michigan government. 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. Ask if this Governor comes from where the work gets done or is trained in cost controls and business school concepts.

Governor Snyder was a CPA and an accountant in Coopers and Lybrand. Then he ran a computer company Gateway; well known for shipping in 'cow boxes' and inferior computers sold on price and cost controls - not quality. (Gateway's tech support was particularly inferior.) Snyder then moved on to found an Ann Arbor venture capital firm. His entire life has been finance and money manipulation. He acquired the Governor's office in Jan 2011. His MBA comes from U of Michigan. But he started taking business courses at the age of 16. Business school training has been his entire life.

In 2011, Snyder essentially assumed operations in Flint Michigan. Starting in March 2013, his appointee, Earley, switched to water from the Flint River even though that water was not used previously because it was too corrosive. Earley rejected Detroit water (Flint's water supply for 50 years) because it costs more money. Residents quickly noticed bad taste, discoloration, and smells. Complaints were ignored - since complaints and water quality do not appear on spread sheets.

In 2015, Flint filed papers 'proving' there was no lead, smells, or discoloration. Documents later exposed no such testing was conducted. Obviously. Top bosses were business school graduates.

A study by Hurley Medical Center pediatricians exposed widespread and serious health problems especially in children. A Virginia Tech civil engineering professor (Edwards) in cooperation with local doctors exposed those business school graduate lies. Investigators further encountered stalling and coverup by 13 Flint public officials including Earley and other Governor appointed officials.

Edwards' was shocked by how high those lead levels were AND by stalling, denials, and inaction by government officials. Of course. Edwards is a product person. Therefore a patriot. He encountered what business school graduates are trained to do - ignore reality and worry instead about costs. Also called anti-Americans. Trained to protect the bosses; screw the people.

Flint government officials continued reciting this reply,"Repeated testing indicated the water tested within acceptable levels."

A smoking gun, irrefutable evidence in Edwards' report, was released to the public on 11 Jan 2016. This recently exposed attack on public health demonstrates again why business school graduates create so many failures. They were intentionally harming the public and denying facts only in the name of business school rationalizations. They even made excuses about aging pipes hoping that would divert attention from criminals negligence. Anything to protect the bosses, money and to cut costs. The people be damned.

Organizations such as the ACLU. large numbers of volunteers (scientists, investigators, graduate and undergraduate college students), and money from the Michigan Freedom of Information Act were required to expose politicians who were not doing their jobs.

Also suspected in that 'less expensive water' is Legionaires' disease which spiked after Flint instituted cost controls on their water supply. Another fact ignored by people who do not come from where the work gets done. After all, if Legionaires' disease was not definitively proven (only statistics said it existed), that proved a threat could not exist. Same reasoning by business school types also murdered seven Challenger astronauts. Do we never learn from history?

In October 2015, Flint water added an anti-corrosion chemical to counteract resulting massive lead levels. System damage is so extensive that Flint water still remains a threat to public health - 3 months later. Lead is only one problem. Maybe that would have been obvious to top management if any of them came from where the work gets done.

Many so remain naive as to insist this was only an accident. Same logic also protected the guilty in both the Challenger and Columbia murders. In Three Mile Island. In Fukishima, etc. If the boss does not come from where the work gets done, how can he be a leader or boss? He cannot.

Mismanagement in Flint is a felony. But too many are trained in business school lies; purpose of everything is profits and cost controls. Business school philosphies also claim it was an accident - including a study that was later exposed to have never existed.

Governor Snyder finally conceded. Long after the Red Cross suffered exhaustion trying to deal with the Flint water disaster. Michigan National Guard was deployed this week to relieve the Red Cross - who was there only because top Michigan politicians (ie the Governor) refused to admit to a problem they created.

Meanwhile, Snyder still refuses to release any documents relating to how much he knew and when he know it. It almost worked for Nixon. It worked for George Jr. What else could he do since it was his people and his denials that let this major human health issue fester.

Snyder recently started blaming subordinates such as Department of Environment Quality Dan Wyant. Wyant's MBA is from American University. He is also trained in ignoring reality, ignoring how the work gets done, and lying.

Lead, bottom line, and water.
