Mayor of the 'Most Radical City on Earth' Can't Provide Clean Water to Residents​



Jackson is the largest black-majority city in the United States. Its problems predate Lumumba and will exist long after he’s gone. Lumumba was elected in 2017 on a radical platform that he never was quite able to realize.

Politico:

He laid out an expansive vision of how Jackson could become a model for the country, promising to use City Hall to deliver not just better services, but a whole menu of new progressive ideas like universal basic income, co-operative businesses and alternatives to policing. He talked about replacing abandoned lots with urban farms. And in a city that is 82 percent Black — a higher rate than any other big city in the country — he framed his promises in elevated, historical terms, promising to rewrite the story of race and commerce in the region from one of exploitation to one of empowerment.

And yet, in his attempt to lift the people up, he forgot about the rest of it — the dull, mundane, everyday ordinary business of government. The city is mired in a water crisis that will almost certainly take billions of dollars to fix.


ABC News:

Staffing shortages, system issues and multiple equipment failures have led to a crisis where Jackson, Mississippi, residents have lost running water for an indefinite amount of time, Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba said at a press conference on Tuesday.
Lumumba attributed the city’s water crisis to a lack of maintenance over the last few decades, adding that it will cost billions of dollars to fix the issue.
“This is a set of accumulated problems based on deferred maintenance that’s not taken place over decades,” Lumumba said.

That’s very true, your honor. But just what the hell have you been doing for the last four years? While you’ve been busy turning your city into a radical socialist paradise, the problems with the water system — the water system, for goodness sake — have been getting worse and worse until the whole system just collapsed.

So is anybody doing a deep dive on these budgets for the last 30 40 years? Seeing who made the choices to not spend on basic necessities

First search trned up three or four articles that basically mimic the exact same points.

1. White flight after desegregation. Less tax revenue.
2. Red state politicians screwing over the blacks.

There will be exactly no discussion about what they city has spent on these last 40 years when they could have spent on keeping the water flowing.

That’s their excuse for all ghettos in the country.

For the 1,439,275th time - it's not "black" that is pertinent; it's "Democrat".

Gratuitous racism astonishes me when the real problem is so obvious. It's not "black" policies that cause these cities to fall to ruin; it's "Democrat" policies. How you can tell is that cities run by white Democrats are just as ****ed up.

Democrat---Black---there's a difference.?

The Democrat cities are screwed up because they are catering to the blacks who live there.

Speaking from personal experience….
Socialist heck-holes always have trouble with running water.
Don’t know what it is, but even if a socialist $hit hole is big enough to build thousands of ICBMs, the citizens are guaranteed to be without running water for at least half of the year. Don’t even get me started on HOT water or heat or sewer (hello PF — that’s your future; hope you enjoy those fancy shops).
