Can someone who knows more about this issue explain how Nestle bottling water has anything to do with lead in Flint's water or Detroit shutting off water to people who were delinquent on their bill? They seem totally unrelated. If Nestle didn't do this would it fix Flint's lead problem? Would it help people pay their water bills?

I don't see how these issues are connected other than "water in Michigan". Am I missing something?




You aren’t missing anything. It’s just “outrage logic”.


But what are people outraged about? I see my comment has been on a rollercoaster of up and down votes so people obviously feel strongly but I still don't understand what the actual issue is.
