LA Water More Dangerous Than Flint

REUTERS HAS RELEASED TO THE RESULTS OF THEIR INVESTIGATION
INTO CHILD BLOOD LEAD LEVELS ACROSS LA COUNTY AND THESE
NUMBERS ARE ABSOLUTELY INSANE THAT PEOPLE ALWAYS SAY THAT
VIDEOS IN THE TITLES OF ARTICLES BUT THIS IS REALLY SCARY STUFF.
IT'S SCARY IN THE SORTS OF PLACES WHERE WE EXPECT
HIGHER LEAD LEVEL THINGS TO THE INVESTIGATIONS THAT IT BEEN
GO ON OF THE PASTOR IS LIKE POOR BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
BASICALLY UNIVERSAL PROBLEM ACROSS LA COUNTY.
INCLUDING RISK RICH NEIGHBORHOODS.
THIS IS A PROBLEM BASICALLY EVERYWHERE.
MORE THAN 17% OF SMALL CHILDREN TESTED IN THE HEART OF SAM
REA HAVE SHOWN EVELYN LEVELS OF LEAD IN THEIR BLOOD ACCORDING
TO PREVIOUSLY UNDISCLOSED TELLY COUNTY HEALTH DATA.
THAT'S A MORE WELL-OFF AREA THAN I LIVE IN LA COUNTY BUT
STILL THAT 17%.
IF YOU LIVE IN THE AREA, YOU SHOULD NOW BE SCARED BUT IT
GOES BEYOND THAT.
THAT RATE EXCEEDS THE 5%
RATE OF CHILDREN WHO HAS A HYPERLINK IN FLING, MICHIGAN
DURING THE PEAK OF THE CITY'S WATER CONTAMINATION CRISIS.
THE AREA WERE FINALLY PEOPLE STARTED PAYING ATTENTION TO
THIS AND THANKFULLY THEY ARE TAKING WAY TOO LONG TO FIX
IT FINALLY PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO PAY ATTENTION, AND SAN
MARINO IS THREE TIMES WORSE IN TERMS OF HOW PREVAIL AND IT IS.
AND ALTHOUGH REUTERS IDENTIFIED 323
NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS ACROSS LA COUNTY WHERE THE RATE OF
ELEVATED TEST WAS AT LEAST AS HIGH AS IN FLINT ON 26
OF THEM THE RATE WAS AT LEAST TWICE FLINTS.
THIS IS EFFECTIVELY AN LA COUNTY SPECIFIC FOLLOW-UP UP TO
THE STORY WE DISCUSSED THE DEVICE YEAR.
REUTERS IDENTIFIED WITHIN 3300
US NEIGHBORHOOD AREAS WITH DOCUMENTED CHILDHOOD LEAD
POISONING RATES ñ FOUND IN FLINT.
THAT IS CROSS ALL ACROSS UNITED STATES, THOUSANDS OF
COUNTIES THAT PROBLEMS ARE EVEN WORSE IN FLINT AND THIS IS
NOT TO TAKE AWAY ANYTHING FROM FLINT BUT TO GIVE YOU AN
IDEA OF HOW SEVERE THIS PROBLEM ACTUALLY IS.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY WHEN WE CRITICIZE THE MAINSTREAM
MEDIA FROM TIME TO TIME IT IS NOT TO TEAR THEM DOWN AS
THE RIGHT WING WANTS TO DO.
IT IS TO HELP THEM DO A BETTER JOB.
THAT IS WHY I WANT TO CELEBRATE STORIES LIKE THIS.
IT'S A DISASTER BUT REUTERS DOING WONDERFUL WORK IN
EXPOSING THIS.
THEY HAVE BEEN ON IT FROM DAY ONE AND WHEN THEY RELEASE TO
THAT REPORT, AND THIS IS PART OF WHAT IS FRUSTRATING ABOUT CABLE
NEWS SPECIFICALLY, TELEVISION NEWS BECAUSE I WAS LIKE THERE'S
OVER 3000 COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY THAT HAVE A LEAD
PROBLEM WITH IN FLING, WISE AND NOT THE BIGGEST STORY?
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALL THESE IMAGINARY FEARS, TERRORISM AND
THERE IS ONE CASE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE THANK GOD AND IT'S NOT
AN EPIDEMIC BUT THEY'RE FAR MORE MASS SHOOTINGS ETC.
THIS IS AFFECTING ALL OF OUR KIDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
WHEN THEY MAKE IT MORE SPECIFIC AND IT IS IN YOUR NECK OF
THE WOODS IT SCARES THE JESUS OUT OF YOU.
WHEN YOU SEE YOUR KIDS MIGHT BE GETTING LEAD IN THE SYSTEM
AND THERE IS NO ALLOWABLE AMOUNT OF LEAD IN A HUMAN BODY.
SCIENTISTS HAS SAID IT IS DAMAGING NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT
IS LET ALONE AT THESE LEVELS AND LEAD COULD BE COULD DECREASE IQ.
IT DOES AND TESTS HAVE PROVEN THIS.
IT CAN EVEN MAKE
PEOPLE MORE VIOLENT.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE POISON WE ARE
PUTTING IN OUR KIDS?
THIS IS THE THING THAT PEOPLE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT NONSTOP.
AND THIS IS A COUPLE OF THING ABOUT WHAT YOU JUST SAID.
WITH JOHNSON WHEN HE READ IT, HE SAID PREVIOUSLY UNDISCLOSED
AND THAT IS WHAT REUTERS DID HERE.
THE FACT THAT THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED, IT'S A JOURNALIST TO
GO IN THERE AND GET DOWN INTO IT AND THAT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT
THE OTHER THING IS I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS WITH MY CONSENT NOW,
WITHOUT JUST YEAR A WE BE GOING TO THE STORIES, EVERYONE AROUND
THE TABLE SAY THAT IS SO DEPRESSING BUT AL JAZEERA WOULD
PUT ON THESE STORIES AND THEY WERE DEPRESSING ALL THE TIME BUT
AT LEAST IT GOT YOU TO PICK UP YOUR IS LITTLE BEEN SAY THIS IS
ACTUALLY SOMETHING THAT IS WORTH KNOWING AND PEOPLE SHOULD TALK
ABOUT IT THAT NOT ACTUALLY EVEN MINIMIZE THE EFFECTS OF
TERRORISM AND WORN ALL THE OTHER THINGS ON THIS INCISIONAL SIDE.
THIS IS IN A SENSATIONAL STORY BUT IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT
IT'S BEING TOLD AND I THINK THAT IS WHAT IS SO GREAT ABOUT
WHAT REUTER REUTERS AND JOURNALS ARE DOING.
I KNOW ONE OF THE REASONS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT IS
BECAUSE THE CUTS ACROSS SOCIOECONOMIC LINES THAT WERE
TALKING ABOUT TWO MAIN DOLLAR HOUSES THAT ARE AFFECTED AND SO
ON BUT I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW THAT THE WAY
THESE THINGS GET SOLVED DOESN'T OF GOING BACK TO THOSE PEOPLE
WHO ARE MORE VULNERABLE WITH LESS RESOURCES NOT BEING ABLE TO
FIX IT OR HELP THEMSELVES IN THE WAY THAT OTHER PEOPLE WILL GOT
IN THIS ONE STORY THAT ANECDOTE AT THE END ABOUT WEALTHIER
FAMILY FOUND OUT THEIR SON HAD ELEVATED LEVELS AND WERE ABLE TO
PUT HIM IN 200 A DOLLAR A SESSION OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY.
MOST PEOPLE CAN'T DO THAT.
THEY ARE STUCK ONCE THEY FIND OUT.
THEY FIND OUT AFTER THE FACT IS ARTIE BEEN THERE FOR
YEARS AND IT AFFECTION FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
I THINK JORDAN HAS BEEN DOING GREAT WORK ON THIS AND HE
HELPED TO EXPOSE WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN INDIANA, AGAIN
MUCH WORSE LEVELS IN INDIANA AND E CHICAGO.
HE WAS IN FLINT JUST YESTERDAY COVERING A TOWN HALL WHERE
PEOPLE WERE ARRESTED FOR BEING TOO LOUD SO THAT IS ON
YOUTUBE.COM/TYT POLITICS BUT REUTERS DOING IT ON A MASK
OUT HERE AND IF WE CARED ABOUT THE THINGS THAT WERE
ACTUALLY IMPORTANT AND DANGEROUS AND AFFECT US PERSONALLY
THIS IS ALL YOU WOULD SEE ON CABLE NEWS.
INSTEAD IT'S A BLIP ON THE RADAR.
CLIMATE CHANGE 2.
REUTERS IS DOING A FANTASTIC JOB BUT THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE TO FIX.
TRUMP ONCE DEFENDED TRILLION DOLLARS ON INFRASTRUCTURE,
GREAT.
SPEND IT ON THIS.
DON'T PRIVATIZE THE ROADS LIKE YOUR CURRENT PLAN IS.
SPEND THE MONEY ON THIS.
WE NEED THIS MIXED SO THAT WE PROTECT ALL OF OUR KIDS.
