Jackson, Mississippi, latest chapter in history of neglect in city

1. you vill eat ze bugs

2. GOP governed states are failed turd world states. The only thing the GOP ever do is give endless corporate welfare and cut taxes for the 1% at the expense of everybody else.

3. The racism expressed here is amazing. They are blaming white people leaving for this problem?? So does that mean African Americans need white people to take care of them??? The city of Jackson has been controlled by Democrats for a very long time. Yes it's the Capital of a Republican state, but the water issue is a city problem. No other city in Mississippi, to my knowledge, has these problems with the water and sewer system. Why, maybe it's because of the way they are ran. Not because of what color people run them.

4. Why was white flight a problem? I thought that blacks built and maintained good cities — and isn't diversity a strength? So wait, enough whites have to stick around to keep the infrastructure working for blacks? Is that our job, to maintain infrastructure for blacks?

5. Whitey — come fix our water system!

6. They're too busy paying for roads and bridges to the governor's house.

7. With all that money they sent to Ukraine they could have redone the whole pipe system in Jackson and many other places in the U.S. Your government wouldn't make any money off of this so why should they care. Lets Go Brandon.

8. i know it's easier said than done, but people need to MOVE!!!

9. The town has been dragging their feet on the plant here. Nothing has happened for 40 years. I wish I could move. I have been here ten years

10. During the flood 93 we lost our water plant. I learned to take a shower with two gallons of water. The national guard would fill my car up with water and I would hand it out to the neighbors. I collected rainwater to flush the toilet. There was a lot of rain. I feel for the people of Mississippi. Where i live now you can't drink the water. I wish, I was back drinking my river water. Good luck to the people of Mississippi. It gets really old buying bottled water but i will not ever take it for granted.

11. Nothing like the media to help us find out whose to blame in a time of crisis instead of bringing us together until this is solved!

12. WTF? This is America people. Someone in the Government better step the fuxk up NOW
    THEY'RE LIKE A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY RIGHT HERE IN AMERICA. WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR GOVERNMENT? GIVE THESE POOR PEOPLE WATER NOW. ABSOLUTELY DISGISTING

13. I know two things, one thing for sure…With all that negativity coming from that State about my elected President of the USA, I sure hope they don't reach out their hands for assistance to the very National Government they so hate…

14. I bet they are grateful for Biden now and that build back better bill that was passed that I'm certain Mississippi's elected leaders voted against…Oh the irony…

15. I mean 10 billion to Ukraine, 2 billion to fix this. But because of recent corruption I’d contract it myself and have it done if I were the fed. But the state won’t allow it so it won’t happen

16. It's the management's fault. That's what they do!

17. Only left media would blame this on racism lol

18. You go to the redest state and even then the largest problems in the state always occur in the bluest city in the state. Notice every place that's blowing up right now all have the same thing in common, democrats in control.

19. They need to sue all the company’s dumping in the Mississippi River for everyone having PFAS/PFOS in their bodies. It’s an American problem when you compare to other countries

20. Doesn't matter about leadership if you don't have water

21. They are taking a play out of govenor of Fergusons play book. Remember Trump praised that governor for what he did to the population of Ferguson..

22. Blame the Mayor

23. For years I been saying that the water problem was bigger than theyr telling us on Facebook / the next curse words I used in any context I was kicked off facebook

24. This is what happens when the only thing you ask of your elected leaders is to "own Libs"

25. SEND MORE MONEY TO UKRAINE – I BET ZELENSKY NEW HOME IN ISRAEL HAS CLEAN WATER

26. We been dealing with boil water alerts for most of this year. It’s been a problem instead of fixing it just patch it up they just didn’t know when the system would fail.

27. You get what you vote for. Lets Go Brandon

28. It almost sounds like systemic mismanagement of resources and neglect of infrastructure is….bad?

29. Mississippi spend more on culture wars than infrastructure.

30. They'll be fine remember they built the pyramids, lol

31. The mayor is a Communist and said that: "I will make Jackson the most radical city in the world." He sure did !!!

32. Neglect: Politicians of filth putting the funds in their pockets. Arrest them all, make them give it all back. Decades of theft.

33. Deez damn white peoples movin outta da town we run is responsibles!

34. Race card played. Now put those hands out and ask the state or Feds for a bailout. Classic Democrat mayor.

35. Don't you see what they're doing here? Instead of fixing it with their own tax payers money, the politicians in Mississippi let this become a crisis so they could get that sympathy bail out from the federal government. DON'T LET THEM DO IT!! These are the same people who attempted to overthrow our government to install a DICTATOR!! Well go ask Trump for your bailout!! He's still YOUR President.

36. How can we blame this on Trump?
