Detroit shut off water to over 100,000 people.

That's about 1/7th of the entire population of Detroit!

I really find it hard to believe that that many people didn't pay their water bill.

Ironbite-any reason for the shut off?

From what I've heard, it's because Detroit is wanting to switch over to a privatized company to handle the water.

On the bright side, the people are as mad as hell & they're not gonna take it anymore!

They should also demand a return of the motor industry. If the big names are too el cheapo to return then maybe some new blood like the guys like Tesla might set up shop, there.

After all, it IS "The MOTOR City"! Bring back those motors & bring new life to Motown!

There's got to be someway to come up with some sort of arrangement where both Americans & CEOs are happy.

And for CORRUPTCO's trying to kill stuff like Tesla Motors, has it ever occurred to these guys that it better to join than to fight?

I mean, a lot of the world's ills are due to greedy companies. They want money, and anything that may stifle that, like green energy, electric cars, etc. are often squashed.

It never occurs to CEOs that they could just switch to green energy instead of oil. Same for the military hardware companies making sure that there's always a war, switch to auto-making or computers! If Anheuser-Busch can become a furniture company during Prohibition, why can't EXXON, BP or whoever just go Green? LIKE DUH!

It's like they're evil psi-vampire aliens from R'yleth who literally subsist on human suffering! I'll bet the Koch Brothers true form is something like C'thulhu crossed with a Xenomorph dressed in "Old White Human Guy" suits. No wonder David Icke's weirdness gets such traction! That's the Reptilian's reputed main motive....human suffering energy food!

I just can't believe that rich guys that smart & cunning can't just become what they are fighting! "Cut Lex Luthor A Check" indeed!

If a company that makes beer can switch to making nice home furnishings when alcohol turns illegal, why can't the fossil fuel freaks get in on the Green energy trend.....and the "Military-Industrial Complex" get into non-military stuff?

Ibby, I know you can be a dick, but... for once, I'm in full agreement with you.  Damn, that's just... *boggles*
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

WHAT?! I just asked a legitimate question! No naivete at all! I just don't understand. If it's all about making lots of money why not just get into the same business you're against?! Why the needless war, pollution & destruction. You can't enjoy you're wealth, coke & whores if you live in a wasteland!

Alternatively, it does occur to them, and they decide that there's more money in oil than in green energy. Or that they have a comparative advantage in making military hardware rather than trying to compete with Microsoft.

People rarely do evil because they are intrinsically evil and just enjoy drinking your tears. Is it so crazy to imagine that they might just not care too much about human suffering in one way or the other and they just want to make a lot of money?

Two reasons.
1. They still make MORE money this way.
2. (They think) the world won't be that bad until after they're dead, so, fuck you, got mine.
