In Flint, there is so much lead reported in children's blood (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/12/15/toxic-water-soaring-lead-levels-in-childrens-blood-create-state-of-emergency-in-flint-mich/?fbclid=IwAR25VO1G7l7Fkycu3v9u9AmAvi0mPPEazTtUeNPk skosrRwSFOA6_aEOMI8&noredirect=on&utm_term=.1206c4201a9f) because of the switch from Detroit's to Flint's water system* they've declared a state of emergency.

Keep rolling back those environmental regulations, Mr. President.

I wonder how many children in the future will perish as the planet heats up and the seas rise?
