Internal erosion. There is no excuse for this except a complete and utter failure by the government to maintain its infrastructure. How embarrassing.

DOW Chemical is headquartered in Midland, lead contamination might be the least of Michigander worries soon, and the extended economic lockdown is going to hamstring any emergency response.

I wonder how many other "accidental" crises will soon hit other regions.

It seems like more than just a coincidence and more than ridiculous that not one but two dams broke on the same day.

Even more coincidental is this draconian Michigan "leader", who's conveniently having issues with Trump, and is slated as Biden's likely choice for Vice President. I wonder if this is all staged to make her look "heroic". Meanwhile she's still pushing the crisis despite REAL, not theoretical, problems.
