Why tf would French billionaires care about Flint, MI? Or Puerto Rico?

I'm American and I can honestly say: I don't give a shite about Flint's water issues. A municipal water issue in a state I don't live in, or even border, has literally zero effect on my day to day life. I don't give a frick. And I'm sure most of Americans do too.

Want to help? You donate YOUR money to it. Or have their politics change. But stop trying to burden the rest of us when we have issues in our own neighborhoods.

My the citizens that have taken over Michigan can get Muslim billionaires to fund the flint issue.

The crying libs don't get to decide what other people spend THEIR money on. How many of the criers have picked up a second job and donated the proceeds?

That's what I thought. Not a single one.

I just read the article titled

There's no white people in flint or Puerto Rico so Trump doesn't care he's sending money to Notre dame. Then you come to find out that the state of Michigan has been holding money set aside for flint. They released 77 million to flint today. The people that write those articles are straight up liars. Flint made their bed let them sleep in it.

Don't really care what French billionaires spend their money on, but don't be so naive on water issues being isolated to Flint.

"Watch The Water"

The Military Is Poisoning America’s Groundwater

Why women were told to not get pregnant at George AFB

Air Force won't reimburse towns for contaminated water

Military spending millions to replace toxic firefighting foam

I could fill multiple pages with these water related issues... but I think the above should suffice.

Do you trust your water supply? Do you really know what's in it? Seriously, do you know? Or do you just trust your corrupt government?

ETA: How about something a little closer to home?

The only reason the billionaires are giving money is to be forever attached to history, to be remembered.

I blame Michael Moore and his Roger & Me movie. Flint only knows how to whine.

The Flint, MI issue was not a lack of donations, it was the local politicians failure to collect on residents' past due water bills, much like the Jussie Smollet and (soon to be) Dallas $750 petty crimes. If places elect/appoint SJW morons to places of power this what they can expect.

Well, this is why they need governments to confiscate money from everybody instead of relying on charity. So we can all be forced to pay for places like Flint, MI.

Notice I didn't say "confiscate money from the rich". Everybody.

I love the pledges to rebuild. Marcon saying it will be done in 5 years and "more beautiful than before" worries me some.

I mean this monstrosity is considered beautiful today...

Michael Moore is from Flint, MI, and has a lot of money. How much is he chipping in to fix his hometown's water problem?

Flint also went cheap. They did no due diligence into the differences in type of water (corrosivity or scaling tendencies) to even know if the water would corrode their lead pipes. When they switched to a more corrosive water source, it corroded their pipes. Bunch of cheap arse retards

They don't want it to be rebuilt, so they're going to do this "why aren't billionaires donating to ______" to rally people against whomever makes donations. Flint was just the first thing that popped into their heads.
