    The Boarman family’s water was undrinkable: It corroded taps. It withered plants. Their ice maker expelled clumps of salt.

    But why was this happening? For two years, Oklahoma delayed basic tests that would help them find out.

      @ProPublica The oil companies are murderous fascists that helped Trump get in power and overthrew governments all over the world (Iran, Iraq, now Venuzuela, and most of the middle east).

      I am old enough to remember and been affected by leaded gasoline, that lowered IQ by 10+ points and caused the rise of violent crime all over the country. No meaningful punishment occurred.

      This fits right in with their past behavior and their ability to influence the US government.
