I am in Jackson at least once a week. The city has been democrat led for at least 30 years.

Amazing how bad the reporting is on this.
No root cause defined and explained. No interview with a technical expert that pins down the critical issue.
No definitive statements on whether water will be still supplied, potable or not, for the flushing of toilets.
Hell, they don’t even pin it down to a failure of the fresh water or Sanitary treatment facilities.

Unless I missed it somewhere.
Just that they got a lot of rain, rendering everything “bad”.
They don’t identify how help can even be provided by other cities or companies that might have the replacement components they might need.
Do they just need a water intake pump for the fresh water system? Do they need more sewer pumps?
Did the sewer plants get flooded and contaminate the water intakes for the freshwater system?
Did the flooding short out an electrical substation?
America is GONE. Mankind crawled out of the ooze generations ago, built a great civilization. And now it descends back into the ooze.
