Guys, all things in time. First we have to take care of the CO2 so politicos get their share of subsidies. And then the road/bridge reconstructions so the same politicos can get their share of kickbacks. The “poor” can surely live with arsenic in the meantime. “Let them eat cake” (the historical reference that since brioche was enriched with eggs and butter–ingredients scarce in that day–cake was good enough for the peasants as the power in charge was oblivious to the needs of its people).

“..authorities claim the makeshift filters remove up to 95% of arsenic”. Jerry, I agree have the authorities drink this water, Right lady Laura?. Notice they never said what percentage the contamination is?? anything over 0.01% is too high. You need a ferrous filter . This should be a national disaster. The poor people forced with no option drinking this water when we know it is bad.

Jesus christ how dumb can they get. The people should demand all government offices remove bottled water and install this new filtering system and the employees required to drink it.
