Bring your own bucket. Is that how far we have sunken? What century is this?
Where is this unbottled water coming from?
Bwa ha ha, they lied. No bottled water for the sheeple, but you can bet that Prince Chowke has received lots of free bottled water, right? The sheeple can eat cake, right?
Has the free water been tested? It probably came out of a Jackistan hydrant, right?
Third world city = third world water distribution
You can bet that this "free" unbottled water came from a hydrant or other non-potable source that hasn't been tested, right?
You can also bet that His Royal Lowness Prince Chowke has an ample supply of free city supplied Fiji or Dasani water delivered by his palace guard, right?
How many of y'all will use this latest FUBAR to help you decide to move out of this third world shit hole?
Meanwhile Prince Chowke is drinking Fiji or Dasani water at an undisclosed location, right? You can be sure that the flew there first class at taxpayer expense, right?
Eat cake suckers.
is this now PORTABLE POTABLE h2o? Make sure your bucket dont have no left over boo boo.....Where is the link to Stokes' show this morning...I cant wait to hear his reponse to dis latest mess....
From today's C/L:
"In addition to water pressure, Jackson has also had water quality problems for years. Because of concerns about lead levels, the city has long told people to avoid using hot tap water for drinking or cooking and to only use filtered or bottled water for baby formula."
So the instant boil water notice is redundant. Do not drink the water, period, due to high lead levels!
Next they will suggest you go to the Rez to get your water. Just filter and boil it. Like someone else aid, Third World shit going on.
Jackson folk better practice balancing a ceramic jug on their head...might get your picture in National Geographic.
What time is the Balloon release?
Not to worry.
The Mair is monitoring everything very closely.
He has already appointed a commission to study
and develop a Holistic approach to solving the root causes.
What Jackistan needs is a blue ribbon commission, with weekly meetings alternating between Paris and the ski resorts in Banff, Alberta, Canada, to solve these problems, right?
As Prince Chowke takes a pro-active hands-on approach to managing Jackistan, he will preside over these meetings.
Is the mayor even in town???
Just go to Clinton, Pearl or Ridgeland and take a jug. It ain’t that hard. It’s not like water just disappeared only within Jackson city limits. Only the sense to pull it out of the ground disappeared.
Lol, can stupidism get more stupid?
When is the Federal government going to step in and end this?
I called the EPA several years ago and got no where.
I had dirt in my bath tub in Jackson. I moved to Madison. My water is clean here.
No no 6:47. He will need a consultant or two. Commissions don’t get paid
Mississippi Rapid Response Coalition is bringing the water box to town. Website says it was invented by Jaden Smith. Maybe daddy Will can join him. I can think of a few folks need slappin at city hall.
@9:24PM,
That wasn’t dirt in your bathtub. That wa “boo-boo” according to Kenny Stokes.
For what it's worth, the People's Advocacy Institute's tax exempt status was revoked earlier this year. But the website is still going strong.
10:25 …. Seriously ? Ol buttertooth Jaden ? Really?
This thing called Jackson
NE Jackson needs to drill its own well-
I cannot imagine paying the taxes that NE Jxn residents pay and watching Chuck's smug face blame all infrastructure woes on racism.
Absolute insanity to live in such conditions willingly.
And the folks who cannot afford to move gladly vote for him in droves, so no pity there either.
Years of empty bow tie suits with absolutely no intellect or intent to actually manage. Residents voted solely on skin tone for years and this is what they get.
I recall a time when we aspired to elect people based on ability and not complexion. It seems we flipped the script a little too hard. Oh well.
NWE Jackson not only needs its own well, but it needs to become its own city. Regardless, quit voting for the criminal boy mayor.
Sensing the growing PR debacle proxy Rukia gets trotted out before the TV Newsers. Too much.
WHERE IS MAYOR LUMUMBA?
7:29…. We miss you Mike. A lot.
