On the one hand, this makes sense - nobody is coming to save us, and we have to do it ourselves. Whats the best mechanism for this? Business isnt a wrong answer.
But lets be honest here - these businesses havent finished the job. We can celebrate "capitalist innovation" starting to attempt to address a problem functioning government would have had fixed a decade ago.
We need to make a choice - either quit pretending that government can only work when it is in someone's pocket, or we can become a third world country. We need to understand it as an active choice.
What's even more maddening is that the population of flint Michigan is majority Black. Hard to spin that race hasn't got anything to do with the lack of effort in fixing the issue.
