Not at all. In a case like Flint there will be people with clear culpability for the poor decisions that were made.

But there are millions of lead service lines elsewhere in the US (the pipes from the street to the house).

Who's "responsible" for them?



Wouldn't the answer to this question depend on which pipes you're talking about? Are you arguing that Flint is the only place where lead had a cause?


Kind of amazing that somebody twice asks "who's responsible?" and instead of an answer to a straightforward question, they're accused of claiming nobody is responsible. Why not just answer the question?


> a straightforward question

It's not a question with an objective, simple and thus straightforward answer.


All the more reason not to attack the person asking it.
