quote:They have every right to demonstrate their selfish desire to take from their fellow citizen what they will not provide for themselves. Their declarations that they want to be deadbeats arouse no sympathy from me as the denial of service was not an arbitrary and capricious act by the government owned company. It was the only logical and effective response to a pattern of behavior among many of its customers. The government owned company has an obligation to provide service to its customers who actually pay for the service. It would be criminal of them to be unable to provide service to the paying customers because they chose to provide service to nonpaying customers instead.
Why do you think citizens have no right to protest how a government owned company is operated?

A Call for Assistance in the Efforts to Halt Racism, Racial Discrimination and Acts of Genocide Directed Towards the People of the City of Detroit in the United States of America
We are charging that deliberate actions by the State of Michigan through its Governor Rick Snyder and majority right-wing legislative bodies are calculated and well-planned to foster the disempowerment of the African American people. This program is specifically designed to destroy the political and social gains made by the African American people, but also severely impacts negatively the labor movement, social justice organizations and all other historically affected groups facing national discrimination and class oppression in the United States.

Of course it's racism. White people don't get to not pay their bill and retain services for that long.
These people were years delinquent... seriously, water is the least expensive utility

quote:Detroit infrastructure was built to support a population high of almost 2mm but it is down to under 1 mm. When your fixed costs were programmed to 2 mm but now you only have 1mm paying for it, you sort of kind of have to assume the service is not going to be as good. Again, 50 years of you Democrats being in charge gets this for you (that and putting all your eggs in one basket - car industry). But, again your 50 years of unions ruining that for you gets you where you are. Pretty predictable.
Why does the government have no responsibility to prevent cholera outbreak?

Note its only available "when funds are available".
So you'd better not run out of money when everyone else does.

My right to the SEC Network is a natural right enshrined in the 1st Amendment!!!

And again, it's not that they couldn't pay or can't pay
It's a refusal to pay.

Serious question: Did the Romans ever charge the populace for water?
Any great civilization?
Honestly don't know. If not, why are we?

To have it it directly piped into your home or business from the aquaduct required a license and to pay a licensing fee. The same was true for water to irrigate your farm from an aquaduct. Aquaducts were public projects financed by tax dollars.
Those who didn't have water piped into their homes (i.e. everyone who wasn't rich), used public restrooms and got their water from public fountains, which were free for consumption, and their taxes payed for the upkeep of this system.
