Desperate: An Epic Battle for Clean Water and Justice in Appalachia by Kris Maher, Kris Maher

5.0

At first I wanted to say some pretty awful things about Joe Manchin. Actually, I still do. But thinking of a republican having control of his seat would be the same, if not worse. It’s so frustrating to read stories like this knowing that people still vote against their own interests.
It just echos the tail of Flint, Michigan. How many more communities are willing to vote for those who poison them? How many communities do we have to watch suffer the consequences of politicians and companies skirting around safety rules? Such a frustrating read, but a necessary one.
