- throwaway0a5e 6y agoThe government drags it's feet as much as possible when it comes to holding the government accountable. I think it's surprising it's even going to trial.
- WillPostForFood 6y agoAre you moving the goalposts here? You seemed to be bemoaning that things don’t get fixed after a single crisis (n=1), not that fixes are good but move slowly. Flint got fixed.
