And yet the only peer-reviewed article relating to this topic and referenced in either of those links the same one being discussed here. Unless you think popular science take on the over/misuse of antibiotics and their impact on microbial health is somehow new or groundbreaking information, I’m not even sure why you…

That is the worst part isn’t it? I GET why she took the money. It’s SOMETHING an admission of something as opposed to the horror of a trial that could have ended in nothing. UGH. This is really where we are, isn’t it?

Yeah I can too. I lost about ten years of my life emotionally recovering from my assault. I missed going to college at the normal time kids go to college. When I did go I already had the usual debt that one has in their late twenties. Car payment, credit card debt from emergency situations, etc and my parents spent…

To be honest, I can understand the victim going for this.

Now WAIT of course we don’t want children to be sick, no! We are going to prioritize things exactly in the right order now that we know dogs are sick too. So I have a quick follow up question. Are the children poor? Mostly? hmmmm hmmmm okay okay. Gotcha. No, no, of course that makes no difference! We care about…

Yep.. and we all know how much white folk in america love dogs (billions spent) so now maybe the gov will actually do something besides buy his wife elaborate birthday cakes.

They’ve changed the source of the water back to Detroit. But the pipes have been so corroded that they are still leaking lead into the water. Filters are being handed out but there is too much lead in the water for filters to effectively remove. They have put a substance in the water to recoat the pipes but I don’t…

Seriously? I try not to know anyone who is that shitty.

Dogs with lead poisoning? Now Snyder will have to resign.

I’m guessing now folks who don’t give a shit about actual people might care about this issue. Cuz we all know how some folks don’t get involved until precious Fido and Fluffy are concerned.

Why test this? I’m guessing anything that consumes city water is going to test positive for lead. The water has been full of lead.

My first thought on reading this was that I know 2 people who will be torn up about the dogs but wouldn’t give a second thought to the people.

Two cross-breed dogs in the Flint, Michigan area have tested positive for lead toxicity, the Detroit Free Press reported. One is a pet and the other is a stray.

Unfortunate, but pretty far down the list of priorities, as tens of thousands of people still don’t have clean water, and there’s no short term or permanent solution in sight.

Holy shit, dogs drink water?

I understand your outrage at the situation, but the grandmother’s whole gun safety system probably wasn’t prayer. It’s just that’s what she was left with, and I won’t judge her for praying for the life of her dying, shot granddaughter, when all evidence was that the child was dying or dead.

Right. Grandma prayed, grandpa left a loaded gun lying around - I voted for a pro-gun-control Congressman. I’ve never met this family, I don’t even live in the same state, but I did 100x more to try to save their child than they did.

It’s insane HOW EASY it is to safely store your weapons. We have had guns in our house my whole life and not once have I, or any of my siblings, ever just “come across” one. You can buy a gun safe at Costco for much less than the actual firearm costs you. And there’s no reason to keep the gun loaded when you can load…

People, please lock up your firearms. Mine are safely locked behind biometric and combination cabinets. Especially if there are children present in your home. Gun cabinets/safes aren’t that expensive. Especially a handgun safe.
