American decline: Open pools of raw sewage in the richest country in the world

As the wealthy continue sucking the country dry, the question now isn’t if the US will cease to provide a decent standard of living for its people. Rather it is how many people will be sacrificed on the way down.

{“The United States is one of the world’s richest, most powerful and technologically innovative countries; but neither its wealth, nor its power, nor its technology is being harnessed to address the situation in which 40 million people continue to live in poverty,”wrote Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights.}

To put this in perspective, that 40 million in our country is 8 million more than the entire population of Venezuela. In which the westernized world is using humanitarian crisis as a reason to, well, add to the humanitarian crisis, which was minimal before they decided to interfere. Since they began their interference, an estimated 40,000 have died because of their added extreme sanctions from 2017. Which was shortly after Abby Martin completed her documentary work there.

{And then there is the issue of water. There are over 3,000 counties across America whose water supplies have lead levels higher than in Flint, Michigan, and nothing substantial is being done to address the problem.}

Here's that question---Do you need a moment? That's 3,000 counties across the US that are poisoning their children! Their most vulnerable future citizens from the right to advance mentally and physically. For that to sink in?

{Researchers say the life expectancy gap, as high as 20.1 years between rich and poor counties, resembles the gap seen between low-income countries versus rich countries. In other words, there are pockets of the US that have the characteristics of third world countries. It seems that the US in many ways, after having destroyed other parts of the world, has turned inward on itself, sacrificing its most vulnerable citizens at the altar of capitalism.}

The most disturbing part of this is the fact that this system also produces its own self military draft. A reason many flee from the purposely placed poverty and join the military as an out. Where many who have felt the wrath of a system that has oppressed them then go join the main cause of world oppression. And this weekend many have/will go to DC to honor that systems fallen under the mask of Rolling Thunder. Essentially supporting our own demise as a nation since at least WWII. I could go into reasons it actually started with WWI. But the substantial message staunchly began with the illegal invasion of Iraq!

{All empires fall after all. And Donald Trump is accelerating the process. His Republican tax plan was a massive giveaway to the rich. It even included a special tax cut for private jet owners. The US might have the highest child poverty and infant mortality rates in the developed world, but the political class believe private jet owners deserve a break!}

Is it just Trump!?! It had to be voted in!
