Access to water is such a fundamental human right that it should be denied only to people who are able to pay for it but refuse to do so. From [HERE] and [MORE] Detroit can expect more controversy as a monthlong moratorium against shutting off water for those behind on their bills expires at the end of the day Monday.
Nearly 19,500 Detroiters have had their water service interrupted since March 1. The Water and Sewerage Department, under pressure to reduce more than $90 million in bad debt, ordered shutoffs for customers who owed at least $150 or had fallen at least two months behind on their bills. The decision to take such drastic measures, done with little warning, ignited a controversy that prompted protests and arrests, more bad publicity for the struggling city, global dismay, and a warning from the United Nations. More than 80 percent of Detroiters are African-American.
As unusual as it is for the U.N. to raise public health concerns in a country like the United States, these are unusual times in Detroit. The fortunes of this once-prosperous home of the auto industry have plummeted so far that last year it became the largest city ever to file for bankruptcy. The population has dropped from nearly 1.8 million a half century ago to fewer than 700,000 today. Democratic rule was suspended last year when Michigan's racist suspect Republican governor appointed an emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, a coin operated Black Android, to take control.
[Pay no attention to Kevyn Orr or the other Black Android in the above clip - like potted plants they are just there for show or the appearance of fairness. Their real purpose is to shadowbox Black people. According to Neely Fuller, Racial Shadow Boxing occurs when victims of racism (non-white people) are directly or indirectly, "assigned", bribed, coerced, and/or otherwise influenced, by the racists (white Supremacist), to speak or act to do harm to other victims of racism. A victim of white supremacy programmed in service of white domination. White Supremacists oftentimes hide behind others whom they use as shadows of themselves. MORE]
