BECOME AN AFFILIATE OF T-SHIRT HELL AND MAKE SOME MONEY!
Name: Nestle
Age: 152
Occupation: food giant
Last Seen: Switzerland
Bee-otched For: propaganda

It's no secret that one of the great things about the great state of Michigan is the abundance of water.
Four of the five Great Lakes border our state and is a part of the reason for the state's tourism. Some in much-drier states like Arizona have pushed for pipelines from our state's waterways to their state. I don't blame them, since the water in Arizona tastes like mud. But guess what? It sucks to be an Arizonian.
But for a few bucks, you can have as taste of the Great Lakes no matter where you are. Thank Nestle for that.
As it is, the Swiss food giant is paying the state of Michigan a pittance of $200 per year to pump water out of our lakes. Of course, the Repukes all cry that they're giving the people of Canadian Lakes and Evart jobs, but the sad reality is that if you live in the area, it's a bitch to take a shower with the lack of water pressure.
One of the sickening tragedies about all this is the fact that Nestle's chairman, Paul Bulcke once stated that water was not a human right. This coming from an asshole who makes $11 million per year off of our water.
So, what's Nestle doing to make us feel a little better about buying bottles of Ice Mountain or Pure Life? Simple: running commercials on local Grand Rapids TV about them giving shit tons of their bottled water to the citizens of Flint. So far, two commercials were produced.
However, the people of Flint reportedly are pissed over the commercials because it was Nestle who helped create the water crisis in the first place. They're pumping out of the same source Flint used for decades, Lake Huron. As part of the deal, Flint changed their water source over to the polluted Flint River, which ended up corroding the water lines.
Today, most in Flint are still without clean water and Nestle's simply giving them a handout to make themselves look good. Sorry, I'm not buying it.
The more I look at those commercials, the more I hate Nestle. They don't deserve my - or anybody's - money for what they've done to my home state. This, of course is coming from somebody who would put four scoops of Quik powder in his milk as a kid to the dismay of his own mother.
"OH! BUT THEY CREATE JOBS!" Well, if our water ends up tasting like Colorado River water, we're all going to suffer.
