You are missing the whole point. Nestle more than likely gave very large campaign

The state of Michigan is subsiding a private company by giving them a resource held in common by the people of the state. Nestle is making enormous profit from this crony, predatory, disaster capitalism.
Remember hearing various DUers saying unregulated capitalism amounts organized crime? Here is your example.
This is more organized crime bullshit. This is why I'm supporting Bernie Sanders. Bernie is no fan of relinquishing public resources to private companies in what amounts to as a gift.
Thank you, yuiyoshida.

donations to the powers that be. I doubt that Flint gave any. So by pure logic: who should get the good water? We are after all a capitalist country. And campaign donations is freedom of speech and all that drivel.
