How wrong I was. And to think they don't even care about the original Americans and their drinking water and those living 17 miles downstream. There are already 3,000 cities with worse levels of lead in their water than Flint. Are these robots so stupid to forget that their families have to live on this planet too. They should be refusing to follow the order and stand with the brave soldiers who stood against the pipeline on this sacred and vital land and water last month. They are the true heroes along with the peaceful resistance participants. Boo to loser Drumpf and cabinet of misfits. You will have to answer to a higher power for this.
