why don't you go ask the people of Flint how symbolic their water supply is?

Maybe they can provide some concrete analysis of tainted water supplies.

Considering they had a completely adequate water supply until their local government decided to switch to using the Flint River directly [1], I don't think this is a remotely accurate comparison.

Considering that all 3 fracking locations that are even remotely close to Flint are all downstream, yeah, I see 0 correlation.
