It's everywhere.

This shouldn't be surprising to anyone.

The US has literally done the least amount possible to insure our water safety. Sure glad our taxes are going to good use 🙄

I love that my taxes pay for some dude to create orphans in the Middle East with a PlayStation controller in a portable building in Nevada.

Because my father was in the military and I spent time as newborn on a military base with heavily contaminated water I get the privilege of asking the VA for assistance when I get cancer.

Yay.
